The question is to write an email to recommend one of these fictional cloud service providers, Boxy Storage, CloudKeepIT, and Ginga Storage based on these security requirement and cost
Hi there, I just wanted to share our current position on the app build. As you know, we have a very limited budget to dedicate to the whole project, and my main priority is that our customers have a great experience with us and keep coming back to us as their coffee provider. I would like us to minimise our spend on the Cloud service provider as much as possible, and therefore suggest we go with the cheapest provider. Kind regards, Felix Johansen Founder The Steam Machine Good morning, Hope you're well. Thank you for your work so far on Cloud service provider options. I wanted to reiterate my priorities in selecting the best option, as I know I may have a slightly different view to some of my colleagues. My primary concern is that we select a well-established option with a high security rating. While I know this may have cost implications for us, I truly believe it will be worthwhile. For me, this should be prioritised over other factors such as ease of use and data access. We can learn to navigate these things, but good security is beyond our control. It would be great if you could attend the meeting next week to help us agree our priorities in selecting the best provider. I hope you understand my position and appreciate that this is a challenging scenario. Kind regards, Nazim Carrol Technology Director The Steam Machine Question: Felix has asked you to share in an email which Cloud service provider you would recommend, alongside the rationale for your decision. He is also interested to know if you have identified any risks or opportunities associated with using this provider. Please review the Cloud service provider options in the tile source information and write your email to Felix below: Ginga Storage \begin{tabular}{l|l} Background information & Established 8 months ago, but has attracted a number of investors already.
