The rise of cloud computing will definitely require tools to support it. You might want to check out http://cloudvalue.com which allows developers and managers alike to adapt their applications to the cloud in a costly manner.

Hi,

This may require some sort of a network/security assessment that can help identify what loopholes or security bottlenecks are inherent in your network. You my need a consulting firm to take care of that for you, many will do so without charge under the pretense that they can help you with the transformation to the cloud. Just something for you to consider…

Here is an interesting take on a couple of sticky points related to cloud providers. Link

hi Jordan,

what you have stated above is true but it is applicable also to the privately owned servers, if someone wants to hack into your systems, that you own and run privately at the premises of your own company, they will find a way as well!

Security will always be an issue for cloud and non-cloud computing. but the cost between the 2 will vary tremendously!

This is history repeating itself, full circle. In the early days of computers, everyone shared access to a large mainframe where they submitted their computational jobs via punchcards or paper tape, then retrieved their printouts. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates came along and said computing power belongs in the hands of the individual. Now were all excited about putting this computing power back into the hands of the few. What idiocy...

Great Infographic! It illustrates many of the key trends we’re seeing in cloud computing. The storage shortfall was a surprise. As evidenced by the increasing job growth in this area, cloud computing is certainly continuing to build momentum, at least in some key application areas and among small and mid-size businesses.

Gartner just announced this week that worldwide cloud services revenue is expected to reach $68.3 billion in 2010, a 16.6% increase from last year. Gartner points out that companies are implementing cost-saving measures in light of the economic downturn and looking for more efficient ways to manage complex systems. Teradata’s cloud solutions can help enterprises reap rewards, especially in our sweet spot of data analytics. Analytics in the cloud is the next evolutionary step, as companies will eventually run detailed queries and complex analytics in the Cloud. There’s no rush of data warehouses moving into clouds yet – mostly smaller data marts. So like many vendors, Teradata is solving the performance and security issues customers worry about by partnering with Amazon and VMware to jointly improve both sets of products. So far, so good!

Cloud computing still has a way to go. We setup a complete front-to-back SAAS infrastructure on Amazon EC2/S3 last year to try it out. The results were that it isn't ready for prime time - yet. But we expect it to be ready in a year or two, or in other words, when Twitter and Facebook stop using Amazon. Other major issues yet to be solved; the cloud isn't PCI compliant, it isn't SAS70 compliant, and you can't send email from the cloud because it is blocked by all popular spam black hole lists. S3 is good for backup, but EC2 doesn't perform to the level as advertised. For instance, true hardware to the specs that they quote typically performs about 300% better. This means that a small server can host 3X the applications of a similarly quoted EC2 instance. So there is a significant amount of cloud overhead going on.

All of these negatives can be overcome, and they will be over time. All major software companies will be making sure that lawyers and banks understand what a cloud "server" is over the next couple of years, and that is when the cloud will truly be ready.

hi, this thing keeps popping up everytime, why do you ask other what is secure for you, you should be in a position to figure out what security loop holes you have & then make an attempt to fix them. All peoples who are concerned about security should first look at & define what security means for their own needs & not in a broader sense.

that way you are hitting & solving on your immediate concerns & evolve to a global problem if need be.

just my 2 cents
