The well-known risk topics of cloud computing include information security risks, internal attacks, and cloud downtime. The Cornell University report says there are three hidden risks to cloud computing: as third-party cloud services increasingly take multiple hardware pools, unpredictable interactions between load balancing and various loosely-dispersed cloud services can lead to "cloud downtime".

Although cloud services are widely used and innovated by various enterprises, cloud services are not perfect. Even leaders like Amazon Web services have experienced a variety of downtime events. The good news is that with cloud computing, you can also protect your services in some way from the impact of cloud service provider downtime, although this approach may not be appropriate for traditional server hosting. One thing you should remember, though, is redundancy-the most important strategy for your cloud computing downtime. In addition to traditional backups, the most advantageous defense against cloud downtime is planning redundancy. The idea is very simple: if a server ...

The well-known risk topics of cloud computing include information security risks, internal attacks, and cloud downtime. The Cornell University report says there are three hidden risks to cloud computing: as third-party cloud services increasingly take multiple hardware pools, unpredictable interactions between load balancing and various loosely-dispersed cloud services can lead to "cloud downtime". Two, opaque layered architecture makes many "independent" cloud computing service providers actually share resources at the bottom, which can lead to disastrous "sitting" consequences. Third, cloud computing allows long-term data to save the pick ...

The executive layer may have dedicated its IT staff to technical surveys of cloud providers, implementation options, and technology choices, but what are the non technical considerations? The cost advantages of cloud computing may be attractive to senior officials, but non technical issues can affect the bottom line of delivering business services. The following five points provide guidance to the corporate CFO in assessing possible cloud computing options. 1, understand the service wind ...
