As more companies offer cloud computing services and the number of users increase, statistics tell us that the likelihood of a serious problem occurring, for example, somewhere in the transfer network or in different security segments, increases. We have already seen some serious ‘outages’ in the past, such at Magnolia, the social bookmarking site that crashed and lost all its data earlier this year. Will 2010 be the year of some disastrous encounters for cloud computing?
Some analysts are predicting 2010 to be the year of catastrophes for cloud computing, including the CEO of Strategic News Service, Mark Anderson, in an interview with BusinessWeek. He believes that the increasing reliability toward cloud services could actually backfire in the form of a serious service outage or security based catastrophe. And, the disaster could be big enough to question the dependability of cloud services by corporations in particular.
My believe it that although we might possibly see some serious outages or security breaches encounter, the long-term benefit of network delivered services will outweigh the risks of organisations continue to deploy and migrate to cloud based services. Clearly, organisations and IT managers must carefully select the right type of resources or applications to transfer to the cloud with regard to their mission-critical nature and sensitivity. If using a public cloud provider seems too risky in terms of security or availability, another option would be to migrate to a private (or hybrid) cloud.
Found your site on Yahoo and I thought that I would drop by and take a look. Nice work!
Heya! Good idea, but could this genuinely work?
I’ve just come across your site regarding Microsoft Cloud Computing and Virtualization. There is some good information and we may be interested in including you in our blogroll. Please feel free to contact. Cheers
Not bad article, but I really miss that you didn’t express your opinion, but ok you just have different approach
I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
Good Site on Cloud Computing and SaaS – We are periodically looking for good blog information
related to Cloud Computing. Will be back to review more information on your blog.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks
eventhough I squander a large amount of of my afternoon on the internet trying to play video games like myspace poker or petville, I still like to put aside some spare time to peruse a few information sites occasionally and I am contented to report this most recent page is in actual fact rather effective and radically improved than half the various poor quality stuff I read today , anyhow i’m going to play a couple of rounds of zynga poker
Good technology information on your site. Keep up the good work!
