How effective it is in terms of cost manageability

Because of this, some of its features should still be tested and observed. Companies, especially those that belong to the small and medium size enterprise group, should NOT FULLY rely on cloud computing to run their businesses because it is still on its infancy. You can’t give your full trust to a child right?

Let’s wait for cloud computing to fully mature. Who knows, five to 10 years from now, it will be the biggest IT innovation since the Internet.

Whether a service is cloud based or physically at your fingertips, designing redundancy across all layers requires both infrastructure and application knowledge. Cloud can not fix bad application availability design (e.g no transaction rollback during failure) and vs/vs. Let’s wait to see if cloud service providers do a better job with their new services ontop of their own cloud infrastructure.

A good cloud design will full redundancy will always be more reliable then traditional server room IT if nothing else due to backup power generators and redundant power circuits

Ps what do you think of one of our new solutions we have in our oryfolio ms vm are them selves uses on their own DC! everything does fail eventually I agree but I’d you cant see it you cant fix it. Downtime being a constant threat, finding/fixing those
‘issues’ Is of course key across any network be it virtual or physical…see Xangati in our portfolio, obviously you’d want to see it running in a working envtionment before giving a true review but I’d respect your opinion.

Best regards

Matt
