Notes de l'éditeur

- Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing)
- There are three types of cloud servicesPublic - services which are accessed over a network that are open for public use.Private – services operated for a single organisation Hybrid - a combine of private and public eg public cloud storage plus an organisation privately ‘rents’ components of the Cloud infrastructure
- 1. SaaSThis type of cloud computing delivers software applications through a browser to thousands of customers using a multitenant architecture. This means no upfront investment in servers or software licensing. EgSaaS"desktop" applications include Google Docs and Zoho Office2. Utility computingThisoffers online storage and virtual servers which you can access on demand. Useful for supplemental, non-mission-critical needs, and could replace parts of your computer storage needs. Eg Google Drive or Dropbox3. Platform as a serviceAnother SaaS variation, this form of cloud computing delivers development environments as a service. You build your own applications that run on the provider's infrastructure and are delivered to your users via the Internet from the provider's servers. These services are constrained by the vendor's design and capabilities, so you don't get complete freedom, but you do get predictability and pre-integration. 4. Other cloud servicesLike all ‘as a service’ (aaS) services, these other services are based on the concept that the product can be provided on demand to the user regardless of their geographic or organisational separation of provider and theconsumer.Source: http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud-computing-really-means-031http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

- What are your ‘cloud services’ needs??
- Protecting data from unauthorised accessType of cloud computing service – which would provide the best protection?Sensitivity of data – what will be the impact if data is accessed?Legislative obligations - Privacy Act, Archiving Act, Others? – how do they impact your business?Countries which can access the data (eg Patriots Act) – where is your data stored?Data Encryption – is this an imperative?Destruction of data – how is data removed from Vendor’s servers?Remote monitoring / management – can you have some control over your Cloud services?Data ownership – Who owns the data?Gateway technologies / certifications – what types of security measures does the Vendor have in place?Content filters – Will this impact your usage? Do they need to be strengthened?Security services – what are the Vendors policies/processes and technologies like?User authentication – what identity and access management systems are being used?Procurement processes – How can you verify the Vendor is legit and reliable?
- Why manage your cloud business solution?Identify and reduce possible risks – likelihood vs consequences – whether physical, emotional or financial harm, environmentalEnables continuous improvementEnables businesses to achieve their goals through informed planning and decision-making Increases stakeholder confidenceIncorporates internal/external factors eg cultural (attitude/embedded/integral part of the business) and legislationIdentifies procedures and processes to communicate, monitor and review Creates infrastructure to analyse, evaluate and treat riskBarriers?Lack of commitmentLack of processes/planningLack of financesOthers?
