I'm surprised there are no comments here, I think this is a very interesting question.

We are b2b and need to have high isolation between customers which means dedicated resources. Because of this, it's likely out our margins are lower than many other SaaS categories.

We target 80-90% margin on most of our subscription plans.

I'm curious - is that to avoid "noisy-neighbour" and provide performance guarantees through dedicated hardware, is it for security/privacy/etc or is it a combination of factors?

B2B would be for security purposes.

Noisy neighbor can still happen in the cloud ( happened to us in a French region)
