About Cloud Computing

Introduction

• Cloud computing — in its current form — has been around for well over a decade now.  While it takes on many dimensions, the earliest roots of current-day cloud formations can be traced back to 1999 with the launch of Salesforce.com, and to 2004,with the first Amazon Web Services offering.

It Works

A decade on, with organizations of all sizes, from the Forbes 500 to mom-and-pop shops adopting cloud for mission-critical functions,  it can be said that the cloud computing model is working well.

It Simply Moves Computing To Another Location,

Period.

Cloud computing isn’t a scary new unknown venture or approach to computing. It simply means processing, systems, and often data reside somewhere else on the network, and not downstairs in the server room.

It’s Relatively Safe and Secure

Yes, putting data in the cloud is a potentially risky proposition, and this holds many enterprises back from fully embracing cloud — especially public cloud services.Enterprises are ultimately responsible for the security of their own systems

The Termination Aspects Are Still

Messy And Murky

Page 10: 7 things we've learned about Cloud Computing

The promise of cloud is flexibility; particularly when it comes to swapping vendors’ offerings underneath your infrastructure. However, it’s possible to get deeply rooted and entangled in a cloud vendor’s environment, making termination as painful as tearing out stitches.

It Renews The Vendors Lock-in Issues That Were Supposedly Resolved Ten

Years Ago.

Page 12: 7 things we've learned about Cloud Computing

The loss of flexibility to swap vendors as needs dictate is a step backwards in many respects. The promise of service oriented architecture was that the architecture and processes would function consistently and smoothly, regardless of the brand of technology underneath. Cloud makes such vendor-swapping difficult.

It Requires Just As Much IT Expertise As On-premises

Systems. 

Page 14: 7 things we've learned about Cloud Computing

Going to a cloud doesn’t mean you don’t have to do programming, integration work, or systems configuration. You still need to be able to do all these things, and ensure the performance and capabilities you need to keep the enterprise running.

It Hasn’t Taken Away IT Jobs 

Page 16: 7 things we've learned about Cloud Computing

If anything, it has created new opportunities. IT professionals still need to help make the hard decisions about the best technologies to serve their internal and external clients. The help-wanted ads are full of openings for architects, analysts , operations people and developers who can help oversee organizations’ embrace of clouds.
