D...LinkedIn Groups<br /><br />Group: ZapThink Architect Group<br />Discussion: How hot is cloud Computing?<br />Cloud is Hot. Period. The question really boils down how the client firm can best utilize it. This is often a function of the question "do you have a need and a budget for IaaS". This is typically driven by the amount of sensitive personally identifiable data your firm needs to collect. If you don't have security or compliance requirements that would require you to collect and/or store lots of SPI data [which, outside of financial and healthcare professionals, is not frequently the case for small businesses], then you will frequently choose to go with a SaaS solution - whether COTS or Developed in House and hosted. <br /><br />If however, you DO collect a lot of that type of data, then the options for SaaS become a great deal more limited -- at least at the moment. At that point, you must begin to consider using internal systems to store that data, and when thinking strategically, this will mean IaaS. And, conversely, being responsible for the safe storage of this information, a customer firm will typically error on the side of caution, rather than open themselves up to a security or compliance failure risk.Avi Rosenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012894476959942872noreply@blogger.com
