The appeal of cloud
computing is obvious:
ease of use, lower costs,
and capacity that’s
dynamic and scalable.

4. The cloud makes it possible for asset managers
to handle large and changing volumes of data
effectively and economically.

5. It also can provide data replication and resilience to
support business continuity and disaster recovery.

6. But asset managers have
hesitated to embrace the
cloud due to concerns about
data security and lack of
control.

8. Private clouds are thought
to offer optimal security
and control over access.

9. But private clouds are expensive. You purchase all
the infrastructure and software. You pay for all the
maintenance.

10. Public clouds share
resources.
This enables efficiencies
and economies of scale
not possible in private
clouds.

11. Copyright© 2014 Advent Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
At the same time, the sharing of resources
worries firms about data security.

12. Copyright© 2014 Advent Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
But no system – public or private – can guarantee
100% invulnerability. That’s why it’s essential to find a
cloud vendor with a track record in financial services.

The economic benefits
and efficiencies of cloud
are too compelling to
ignore.
