Seven vices that affect the quality of cloud computing services

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; Cloud computing, as a new IT business model, has gained more and more recognition today. Cloud computing brings a lot of benefits to enterprise it provides unprecedented flexibility, and greatly reduce the overall cost of the enterprise, so that people anytime and anywhere can enjoy a convenient and efficient cloud services.

However, many enterprises blindly come to the cloud, the business migration to the entire cloud, but will bring a lot of inconvenience to the enterprise, users are very easy to omit and ignore some problems. In a recent survey by ISACA, a global nonprofit it association, 30% of the 3700 respondents said cloud computing was a tricky problem that severely affected the company's data security in the coming year.

Most of us know that people often use seven vices to describe human weakness, they are anger, greed, laziness, pride, lust, jealousy, gluttony, and sometimes also seven sins. These vices will lead to distortions in our lives. In cloud computing, there are also seven vices that are bad for the quality of service in cloud computing. Let's take a specific look at the following:

1. I don't know if I'm using a cloud. This sounds like four unreasonable, but it happens more frequently than expected, and it's easy to buy cloud services when we use credit cards or online shopping. When you purchase, you will probably have agreed to the cloud service provider related terms and conditions, these may not be what you need, such as in the Jingdong account after the attached cloud storage space, the application of the mailbox after the gift of storage space. Some providers add the appropriate terms to these provided servers. So we have to make clear before opening.

2. No guarantee of legal and regulatory compliance. Many companies invest heavily to ensure that their internal IT systems comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements. When you move all types of business into the cloud, it is likely that the original compliance will be lost and needs to be reassessed.

3. Do not know what data to migrate to the cloud. The law provides for the privacy of key data for many enterprises, if you don't know what data to move to the cloud, then you may be in trouble, and today's unstructured data such as spreadsheets, presentations, and documents explode, you need to make sure that your data is managed in the cloud, and that it's confidential.

4. The entrance to control access is not good. Many important management functions are required by the administrator to set up, the administrator's permissions are the largest, and many data is not the general management can contact, which caused the conflict in the right to allocate time.

5. Business continuity. When moving business services to the cloud, we need to take into account the continuity of the business. And in the service process, the entire service provider's service is also very important, a bad service provider is likely to cause great harm to our business continuity.

6. Be bound by a provider. We often say that cloud enhances IT service flexibility, but when you adopt a cloud service provider, it is difficult to change a provider and is easily bound by a provider. And it can be very difficult to migrate to other service providers.

7. We are not able to manage cloud service providers. We can only choose from the cloud service provider, but can not manage, we have a lot of important information in the cloud, cloud service providers can easily access to our data, but not to the cloud service provider management, is likely to cause our data loss.

Summary: Cloud computing is not as perfect as expected, the business in the cloud may not be the best choice, after all, cloud computing in China has not really landed, and some of the drawbacks of cloud computing has not been all revealed. Enterprises in the transfer of business to the cloud should be prepared to do a good job in order to avoid accidents in the course of the transfer, damaging the company's overall interests.
