Logicalis:byod or causing a disorderly expansion of the cloud

The rise of BYOD brings a variety of security and logistical management impediments, which poses a challenge to the IT department. In response to http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/28340.html "> Privacy issues, if the device is lost or stolen, enterprise it needs to have secure access, remote lockdown, and erasure capabilities."

It Solution and management service provider Logicalis warns: Beware of "cloud sprawl". Perhaps individual companies will find that their already deployed cloud computing solutions may also be a problem.

The report notes that dealing with explosive digital information requires a separate physical server to run processing, further leading to the spread of physical servers, which require a large number of rack servers, power supplies, and cooling devices, making servers expensive and difficult to manage.

In the current trend of "Bringing Your Own Cloud" (BYOC), employees can take advantage of free Google Drive space, Free Dropbox space and free box.com space allow employees to have enough space to store confidential customer sales information and other mission-critical data, far from the company's firewall and it control. In addition, inexpensive, even free, cloud applications that are not approved by the enterprise are accessing enterprise networks without hindrance, including customer relationship management (CRM), e-mail, and marketing automation applications. As this trend continues, cloud expansion will inevitably result in inefficient and decentralized it inefficiencies, such as improper cloud deployments, which will lead to more complex and time-consuming responsibilities for IT managers.

"We have successfully transformed the physical server into virtualization, now from virtualization to cloud." "But if migrating to the cloud without proper management and strategy will lead to a disorderly expansion of the cloud," said Kevin Gruneisen, senior director of the Logicalis cloud computing and Data Center solution, Kevingrinnessen in a statement.

As for how companies can avoid cloud expansion, the company offers four recommendations to companies, including a sophisticated cloud computing strategy that can effectively overcome cloud sprawl.

Logicalis also recommends creating a custom cloud solution whether it's a public cloud, a private cloud, or a hybrid cloud, this needs to be tailored to the specific needs of each enterprise, and to determine where and how the cloud solution is deployed, which can effectively help the enterprise control the unmanaged extensions of other cloud resources.
