Have you seen the advert of the couple waiting in the airport who “go to the Cloud” with their laptop? With a touch of a button they use their home-stored files and applications over the Internet. So what is Cloud Computing? One definition is: “providing the means through which everything — from computing power to computing infrastructure, applications, business processes to personal collaboration — can be delivered to you as a service wherever and whenever you need.”
But is it secure?
It sounds appealing doesn’t it? BUT there are a few businesses not jumping at the prospect of having another party host these virtual servers over the internet because of concerns over the security of the data. In 2010 Gartner predicted Cloud Computing was at the peak of the hype cycle with regard to inflated expectations but what is the reality in 2011?
IEEE-WISE Interactive Panel on Cloud Computing
- Is the cloud delivering on expectations?
- Are the concerns on security, privacy and confidentiality just FUD?
