Cloud Computing: Does Your Business Belong in 'The Cloud'?

The 'Cloud' has rolled in and by all accounts is here to stay,
but is it really the magic bullet for most businesses and is it
right for you? And are all clouds the same? Here's what you need
to know about computing in 'the Cloud'.
The SaaS model that began a few years ago has now evolved into
the 'Cloud' computing model being utilized today. Improvements
were made to enhance performance and strengthen security. It is a
great option for many organizations because it provides:
* Lower maintenance and support costs than premise based
alternatives
* Lower entry point than a licensed purchase
* Fast Deployment
* Reduced challenges associated with upgrades, updates, and
security patches
* The ability for remote employees to stay connected
* Reduce workload on already busy IT departments
* Highly customizable user settings
* Lower risk with the ability to easily change vendors if
desired
Pushing information in the cloud improves collaboration; business
partners, employees and customers all benefit from the ease and
availability that Cloud computing delivers. Anyone with access to
the Internet can now engage in operations through these web based
services.
Another key benefit of computing in the Cloud is the cost
savings. Businesses today are cash strapped and are looking to
reduce costs without compromising services. The financial
benefits of Cloud computing are huge. The Yankee Group estimates
that Cloud computing brings cost reductions of 50% or more for IT
spending. Typically IT savings demands high up front costs, with
savings being realized over time. Cloud computing brings almost
instants savings, since there are no large, front end costs
around implementation.
Types of Clouds:
Cloud computing offers organizations improved options that were
not available with SaaS. Cloud models include:
* Private/Internal Clouds -emulate cloud computing on private
networks capitalizing on data security, corporate governance, and
reliability concerns. Users "still have to buy, build, and
manage them" and as such do not benefit from lower up-front
capital costs and less hands-on management.
* Hybrid Clouds - consist of multiple internal and/or external
providers; an organization provides and manages some resources
in-house and has others provided externally.
* Community Clouds - several organizations have similar
requirements and seek to share infrastructure so as to realize
some of the benefits of cloud computing.
* Public Clouds - a shared environment where service provider
makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to
the general public over the Internet. Public clouds may have
hundreds or even thousands of businesses running in isolated
containers within the same physical environment.
With the advances is security and delivery, Cloud computing is
proving to be an excellent tool to improve business services
while reducing costs. Author Nicholas Carr, argues that the cloud
computing paradigm shift is similar to the displacement of
electricity generators by electricity grids early in the 20th
century. At first there was fear about pooling services with
other businesses, but security measures were put in place and
costs were greatly reduced by sharing infrastructure.
