Getting Started with

Cloud Computing


What is Cloud Computing?

Anything and Everything until a

formal definition is in place:

"Cloud computing is a model for

enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-

demand network access to a shared

pool of configurable computing

resources (e.g., networks, servers,

storage, applications and services)

that can be rapidly provisioned and

released with minimal management

effort or service provider interaction."

What Does This mean?Instead of all the computer hardware

and software sitting on your desktop,

or your company's network, it's

provided as a service by another

company and accessed over the

Internet.

What are the Challenges

Facing Organizations?

Vendor Lock-in:

Standards:

Security:

Data Privacy

Governance:

SLAs:

HR:

Can you get out if you want to?

Are still emerging - good or bad?

No longer perimeter bases - internal and external threats

Local laws and regulations

Compliance

Do they meet your needs, back-to-back agreements

Do we have the competences and knowledge?
