Typically, the data resides in the customer’s cloud account. This cloud account has many names but no real moniker yet. Some call it a VPC for virtual private cloud. Others call it cloud prem, a contraction of cloud and on-prem(ises). Today, many of those data centers are in the cloud, hence cloud prem.

With 100+ public Cloud companies, it’s now a bit clearer that at least after a certain point in time, SaaS vendors have a lot of stability. So enterprises manage SaaS vendor risk by (i) limiting use cases for innovative, early-stage start-ups and (ii) betting on the #1 brand in a space where practical. And large companies know that.
