How Should I Prepare Your Enterprise For The Increased Adoption Of Cloud Services?

After reading many articles about Cloud Computing I saw the bright future for these types of cloud services. Aside from educating myself on this topic I feel that this could be beneficial to my fellow Computer Technology peers to address their client or employers cloud needs as well as people who are going to start a business and are looking at the options available to address their companies demands.

Enterprises around the world would be wise to heed 50 Cent’s mantra ”Get Rich or Die Tryin’” when considering the implications of not “getting” to the public cloud. We at Cocolevio, an implementation partner of Mooor Insights & Strategy, estimate that over 50% of IT spend will be going to public cloud vendors such as Amazon Web Services or SaaS vendors like Salesforce.com Inc. by 2019. This means there is around a $140B opportunity in this space. The cost savings, reduction in capital spending, speed to market, flexibility and global access derived from public cloud mean those enterprises that effectively use the public cloud are better positioned to “Get Rich” than their competitors who have higher cost structures and less nimble IT platforms. This trend is only set to continue as the business case for moving to public cloud only becomes more compelling, with the traditional arguments against public cloud around security and lack of control diminishing. Vendor lock-in will continue to be a concern but we see many companies willing to sacrifice a bit of lock-in for the many, many benefits of public cloud.

However, research focusing on the adoption of cloud computing technology and its impact on business operation is limited. This trend may be explained by cloud computing being a relatively new field. Available research on the structures, processes, security measures surrounding the cloud services are still at an early stage.

Though the actual history of cloud computing is not that old (the first business and consumer cloud computing services websites – salesforce.com and Google, were launched in 1999), the story of cloud computing is intertwined directly with the creation of the Internet and business, the answer to the unsolved question of how internet utilization can help improve business technology was and is cloud computation. Business technology history is both extensive and interesting, almost as extensive as business itself, but the invention of computers are most responsible for the influence on business technology. Cloud computing, like all other innovation was nurtured in the right environment to take off, as multi-tenant architectures, highly

There is a flare-up in businesses wanting to be “in the cloud.” Cloud computing could be the next revolution in computing, a gold rush that could become even more lucrative than the hundred-billion dollar operations that run today. According to Structure Research reports, the global market for massive-scale public cloud services is growing at more than 61%. They project it to reach $122 billion in 2020.This amazing statistics tells us how the market is shifting towards cloud computing and has vast opportunities to be explored by Big Tech giants. Even though Google has essentially invented cloud computing by building the huge data centres required to run its search engine, it initially

Virginia Watson Ross 2010 believes today’s organizations are being tasked with finding ways to minimize costs, while their computing and data needs grow, cloud computing is a viable option to consider. With its economy of scale and high performance assets, it has the potential for meeting increased organizational computing and data management needs., and surges in demand, while minimizing costs. The challenge is to determine what factors drive a company’s decision makers to choose or not to choose to employ cloud computing to meet organizational needs.

In order to achieved these objectives, a survey will be carried out in the hope that it will contribute to the understanding what factors influence the adoption of cloud computing by the third sector organisation and offer suggestions on how these factors could be mitigated.

Cloud computing is an emerging Information Technology (IT) model whereby a company utilizes a pay-per-use service for it computing needs rather than maintain a local data center run by its in-house IT department. By treating computing resources as a commodity or operating expense, it allows firms to focus less on IT and more on the core elements of the operations strategy. Because of advantages like this, its popularity has grown exponentially in recent years. However, cloud computing also has certain inherent risks in its present form. This paper seeks to understand the key advantages driving businesses to adopt this computing model in ever increasing numbers,

Cloud computing has grown in popularity to the point that it is now becoming the preferred method of the business community for accessing services on the Internet. This paper examines the reasons for this growth and explores the benefits and drawbacks of this technology.

Cloud based computing can be considered as an upcoming computing paradigm or a business model allowing organizations and businesses to Incorporate IT capabilities without having to Invest heavily upfront to set up the IT infrastructure. It is incontrovertible that the capabilities and the advantages provided by cloud based services can greatly benefit businesses and organizations around the globe, but there remain some unresolved issues with respect to cloud based systems that can hinder

Deployment of cloud technology is becoming ever more dependent on corporations to implement in order to remain competitive in this internet age driven business world. Numerous factors must be taken into consideration to make an informed decision on whether or not cloud deployment is the optimal choice. Every new technology pose significant and unforeseen risks and is my responsibility to evaluate the cost-risk assessment as the CISO of www.imagine-if-you.org and provide my results to my management as requested.

Cloud computing is a popular and widely accepted paradigm built concepts such as on-demand computing resources, elastic scaling, elimination of up-front capital and operational expenses, and establishing a pay-as-you-use business model for computing and information technology services. And the adoption of virtualization, service oriented architectures, and utility computing there has been a significant development in the creation of cloud

Though the actual history of cloud computing is not that old (the first business and consumer cloud computing services websites – salesforce.com and Google, were launched in 1999), the story of cloud computing is intertwined directly with the creation of the Internet and business, the answer to the unsolved question of how internet utilization can help improve business technology was and is cloud computation.

For commercial organizations, cloud computing does not mean putting all data information in virtual storage on the Internet network such as iCloud, which is serviced by the Apple Company. Cloud computing in commercial organization means the firm and business to gain lower barriers to entry into business because of cost –effectiveness in IT, the ability can grow faster, the significant scalability and flexibility of IT-bases and cloud services. On the other hand, the cloud computing technology is not a miracle service, which always benefits every business (Colt, 2014, n.p.g.). Consequently, any commercial organization has to consider the different needs, of a company

We then pay for a vast rate of the aggregate cost of the application in advance and that venture is bolted into the achievement or disappointment of that application. cloud computing changes that, nonetheless, in ways that have been expressed by numerous in the course of the most recent few years. The basic element is that cloud computing can move venture from the application point of view from a capital-concentrated exchange to a continuous operational cost. Other variable that is driving undertakings to consider the cloud is at last a similar thing that drives new companies into the cloud that
