    What is Important to Know !

    CLOUD COMPUTING CHECKLIST


    Architecture Not all clouds are capable of handling all architectures. Older applications might not be cloud-ready. Reliability This is a primary concern. Understands vendor approach to reliability and verify that it fits our business strategy Availability Beyond reliability there s the issue of availability. Under normal operating conditions you should be able to downgrade availability to pay less for none critical application.

    CLOUD COMPUTING CHECKLIST


    Monitoring Important to have both reliability and availability, companies should be able to monitor the health of every Hardware device and service .(24/7) Performance & Bandwidth Any deficiency in either one can negatively affect user experience. Guarantee performance and speed results.(SLA) SLAs All the above should be defined with the same sort of commitments as provided by an internal SLA.

    CLOUD COMPUTING CHECKLIST


    Reporting It is important to be clear on what statistics you want and what Vendors are able to provide. Capacity You should determine that the Vendor you are considering has the capacity to handle your anticipated future growth. Security Three based security should be provided

    CLOUD COMPUTING CHECKLIST


    Security Three based security should be provided: Company-based security. Application security, intrusion detection and prevention, spam , virus filters.. Role-based security: defining access privilege policy. Transport-based policy, your cloud should be accessible via VPN. Help Desk For critical applications , 24/7 help desk should be available with escalation capabilities.

    Private
    It can be precisely tailored to an organization environment. Allows you to retain control over your data It requires fair amount of skills and internal restructuring On demand services to a single organization from a shared pool of computing and storage resources.

    Public OR Private ?
    Public Take Advantage of production cloud offering Take advantage of standard environment that are accessed online. Looking to utilize infrastructure for a hosted solution that doesnt require excessive customization Project that require massive storage. Private Organization that need to maintain total security and control Organization that need to ramp up a particular project that has specific needs. Organization that want to run a highly specific applications Organization with a project that requires a cloud specific environment

    Understand Cloud Business Challenges


    Interoperability
    The ability for organizations to easily move their applications and data within cloud platforms or within an organization enterprise platform to the cloud

    Portability
    Interoperability is the successful communication between platforms; however portability is the ability to use system in multiples hardware or software environments. Portability is more related to the application codes, the services used by the application on the cloud

    What stands in the way of seamless interoperability and portability is standard. All providers should be on the same page, and should use the same protocols.

    Conclusion
    It is important to create a realistic cloud strategy based on todays capabilities, not the hype of a distant future. It is very important to focus on how we can determine which applications fit in the cloud and why? We should always consider the risk and liability issues inherent in cloud computing.
