Is Cloud Computing Right for your Company?
While there are certainly legitimate considerations surrounding the reliability, migration, pricing and security of enterprise cloud computing, companies specializing in hosting and virtualization have successfully addressed the possible pitfalls and provide many viable cloud computing options for IT decision makers.
With regard to reliability, cloud computing providers should be able to offer at least 99.99% uptime with headroom to accommodate high-bandwidth burst transmissions. To deal with security concerns, cloud computing companies dedicate areas for each customer, including their own SAN area, and not comingle data.
If compliance requirements such as PCI are an issue and you need to have your database kept outside the cloud, the provider should connect the infrastructure that resides outside the cloud in a dedicated data center environment which enables you to pass audits and regulatory measures and give you peace of mind.
FindaDataCenter partners with virtualization specialists who offer all of the above... as well as other benefits for leveraging as well. When cloud computing was becoming important to businesses of all sizes, we were pinpointing solutions to the challenges of security and uptime.
Many of the myths surrounding cloud computing are rooted in truth. However, forward-thinking virtualization companies are working with best in class providers to make the benefits of embracing the cloud a safe and effective endeavor for today's fast growing business.
