A detailed description of the eight basic principles of cloud computing strategy

In the previous article "Cloud Computing Course" published in Data Center knowledge, Bob Deutsche identified and defined eight cloud-based solution frameworks (Solution-based framework CSBF), From a purely data center point of view, this may be beyond our cognitive scope. Bob told us that not all of these solutions are about technology, but the article also tells us that it is impossible to succeed in the fact that the environment of these architectures (private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud) can be accomplished by focusing too much on technical details.

The article received a better response after its publication, and to thank everyone, he said he would continue to publish articles on the future of cloud computing. ' It's something to be happy about, especially when you realize that people will value your opinions and opinions, ' he said.

In deciding when and how to move services to cloud computing, you must weigh the risks and rewards. For large companies, it seems to be more cost-effective for them to maintain their data centers, and for most SMEs, the cost and efficiency of cloud computing is far greater than its risk.

Considerations of the Basic principles

The basic principles must also be considered on the basis of a viable corporate cloud strategy. In the cloud computing issue, a series of basic principles exist as the rules for the entire solution framework and must be taken into account.

What is the basic principle of enterprise cloud computing strategy

First of all, let's talk about these basic principles, and I'll cover the first principle in detail, because it has enough detail to provide so you can see why these basic principles are on the list.

These basic principles form the cornerstone of the Enterprise cloud Computing strategy:

1. Large-scale cloud computing upgrades, including your critical business systems, are a lengthy process that can take up to 8-10 years.

2. Cloud computing is a top-down architecture that combines development strategies and solutions.

3. The cloud ecosystem is as healthy and adaptable as its parts.

4. Service-oriented business classifications are undesirable.

5. Cloud computing is a verb, not a noun.

6. Technology-driven businesses tend to circumvent policies and regulations, but the relevant policies and regulations will ultimately determine the success of cloud computing.

7. Bandwidth and data transmission cannot always be as cheap and unfettered as it is today.

8. Altruistic factors (such as preferential terms) cannot always exist.

Massive cloud computing upgrades, including your critical business system, are a lengthy process that can take 8-10 of years

Why does it take such a long time? This is due to the nature of cloud computing, and migrating to cloud computing is a "destructive" process that affects the way your business, administration, and technology work (including software and hardware). The most important point is that all staff need training related skills.

For your cloud strategy, in an enterprise (not just an IT department or data center), you must understand and optimize the capabilities of the entire enterprise, and readjust the collaboration between the various decentralized departments. This means that the data Center department, the network (LAN, WAN, wireless network), applications, terminal devices, and related business processes all work together, rather than being part of a separate department. In addition, as the business environment changes, the working methods are constantly changing and may even change the sector structure of the enterprise.

To get value from cloud computing services, you have to redefine your business, which means:

• You must adopt a new approach to defining the indicators of success, including new definitions and standards. To do this, you need to determine a baseline for comparison.

• Fundamentally change your business ecosystem (skills, assessment levels, responsibilities, and appropriate physical numbers) to accommodate new business patterns

• Try to take evolutionary rather than revolutionary measures, and revolutionary measures tend to produce experimental products that are less helpful to the good survival of the business.

Simply put, history has shown that any type of subversive change is slow. Small and medium enterprises have their own advantages in the adaptation and rapid response of cloud computing strategy, but the personnel is their biggest concern.

Bob Deutsche will continue to elaborate on the eight basic principles of cloud computing strategy, and hope that you can participate in the discussion and express your views.
