Barriers to cloud progression.
I know that the cloud is great BUT….
Connectivity- “How do I guarantee
connectivity, quality and security?”
- “Do I want public, private, hybrid?”
Cost- “my CFO wants a degree
of financial predictability – utility is great to a point”
- “I am frustrated by the lack of transparency – so many hidden costs”
Manageability
6
Security- “I can’t let anyone at
this – my competitors or the FBI”
- “My CSO wants DMZs and application aware firewalls with full Intrusion Detection”
- “I have to know where my data is”
Manageability- “fingers crossed I’m not
locked in”
- “its best effort and that’s not business grade”
I know that the cloud is great BUT….
What about Connectivity?
