“Cloud computing is an operational model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.” National Institute of Standards and Technology, August, 2009
The Challenge
Company operations are rapidly changing and becoming redefined by the cloud revolution and its business implications:
- Consumer Demands – the availability of massive scale services and the rise of tech-smart consumers and employees
- Collaboration – businesses moving from vertical integration to a horizontal, networked business model
- Always Available Computing – rising demand for mobility to support faster response to customers
- IT Challenges – reducing capital expense in favour of predictable operational cost, increasing power costs, a lack of space, and transforming delivery models to respond to strategic business requirements
The Solution
Cloud computing has a simple value proposition, but it can be a complex and risky venture without the insight, integration and controls in place to manage it properly in the enterprise. Core questions around security, performance and regulatory compliance still remain unanswered and many organisations are unsure what the cloud means for them and how they can leverage the obvious cost benefits whilst addressing the risks.
