Cloud Computing

Introduction

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet).

The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.

Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation.

Technology features of Cloud Computing

It its quick scalability

Upgrades and changes to the services are done instantaneously and easily enabling the cloud computing service to be resilient.

Everything is measurable.

The business owner can obtain a specific number of user license per software, and a fixed network bandwidth and data space which fits the business’s demands.

An important feature of cloud computing is its ability to let the business owner decide on his current and future needs.

Cloud computing also makes available various hardware or software resources. Security is also stricter in cloud computing.

Context of business need for Cloud Computing

Cloud hosting is for business entities which use resources heavily.

Small and medium scale industries can also be accommodated but only large companies can take advantage of the availability, versatility, and power of cloud computing.

Huge businesses which transfer their applications which use up too much resources to the cloud in order to free up their old dedicated servers to decrease cost of operation.

Summary of business expectations for Cloud Computing

The Cloud BPM (bpmPaaS) market is slated to grow 25% year over year, and 40% of companies doing BPM are already using BPM in the cloud

Cloud Email is expected to have a 10% adoption rate in enterprises by 2014,

Big Data will deliver transformational benefits to enterprises within 2 to 5 years, and by 2015 will enable enterprises adopting this technology to outperform competitors by 20% in every available financial metric.

Summary of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing continues to be a rapidly evolving and volatile market.

In 2013, customer expectations will force IT organizations to adopt a hybrid-IT operating model that can host critical applications in the private cloud and can use public cloud services to increase business and IT agility.

Recommendations for Cloud Computing

Those exploring cloud solutions should establish their risk appetite and evaluate offerings against it.

Companies looking for cloud solutions should establish a cloud provider security risk profile and update it at least annually.

Those exploring cloud solutions should use a risk vector analysis matrix to evaluate cloud providers and those served by the same cloud vendor.

Make sure you evaluate the security program for cloud computing vendors up front and use it to narrow down potential vendors.

Ensure your contract with the cloud provider includes ongoing security reviews and language mandating immediate notification (within 24 hours) of serious security events and many more…
