It role transformation cloud computing is maturing

Financial services companies in Asia are currently trying to introduce cloud services to companies to maximize IT spending while maintaining close localization relationships with Asian customers. In short, let the funds play a greater value, and ultimately increase the cost-income ratio of the enterprise. The

Hybrid delivery model, which combines traditional IT services with private cloud or public cloud services, ensures that the right procurement and pricing methods are provided for the technology based services. This approach can help banks, insurers and other financial institutions choose the best combination of in-house technology, outsourced business and cloud services. This hybrid combination can be integrated into the overall environment of financial institutions without the cost and complexity of managing these resources separately.

The transformation of the IT role

is the challenge for the mixed delivery model, compared to all the advantages, that it increases the need for high-quality management tools and improved processes. This is true whether a business wants to use a private cloud or to move to a cloud service provided by one or more cloud service providers. In fact, this changes the structure and capacity requirements of the enterprise IT department because more effort is needed to manage service level agreements in the service delivery chain.

The transformation of it is to be a "architect" and "broker" for service delivery without worrying about it low-level functionality to build hardware, network, and storage. This is a considerable shift for many IT staff, as it requires careful management and a clear plan to move to the best deployment scenario, which is by no means simple in all it capabilities.

This model is often effective for financial services companies in Asia, but the need to manage distributed processes is sometimes a big hindrance because many tools are not yet able to manage what is likely to happen.

The wrong concept about the cloud

There is no doubt that data security is one of the concepts often misunderstood in cloud computing. Most businesses, especially financial services companies, are often concerned about the use of cloud services in a multi-tenant environment. These companies also often misunderstand data protection and privacy policies.

HP believes that companies should focus on the actual technical requirements driven by business needs rather than on the various possible cloud definitions, which create practical and imagined security concerns. The

Business-centric approach helps to conduct a real risk analysis based on actual usage. Today, most banks tend to choose a private cloud model for critical systems, and a potential public cloud model for non-critical systems. But through the right analysis, they can quickly turn to managing the cloud services of multiple vendors, the hybrid delivery model. -

Another common challenge is to underestimate the complexity of managing the service level agreements offered by various cloud service providers through a combination of public and private clouds. In this regard, outsourcing experience or overall management of the firstThe experience of the tripartite service provider can help it enterprises to complete the rapid transfer without pressure. HP has already witnessed the ability to implement MSI (Multi-vendor service integration) and to apply MSI to cloud services through an explicit goal of managing service levels (rather than specific technologies) across the board, which has benefited many customers.
