What's Holding Cloud Computing Back?10/30/2008 10:48 PM

The two things (in my opinion) holding back cloud computing from truly taking off in the enterprise are security and compliance. With an abstract concept like cloud computing, telling your security department that you are moving the company’s sensitive data and mission-critical processing to a “cloud” might get some laughs.

Exactly where is the data physically located? Are there other companies using the same equipment? Who has access to these systems?
How is data transferred to and from the cloud? What operating systems run the cloud? What if the cloud provider goes out of business?

Gartner also released a series of research papers on cloud computing in June, comparing cloud-computing delivery methods to the Industrial Revolution because of their potential to change the way IT services are delivered and acquired.

"Cloud computing has become the latest in a series of popular industry terms and, as such, is used in many contradictory ways," Gartner said in a report titled "Key Issues for Cloud Computing." "Underneath the fog, there are trends -- such as global-class architecture, Web platforms, massively scalable processing and the Internet -- that are converging to fuel the cloud-computing phenomenon. The platform angle, in particular, will enable composite applications and composite businesses, and has the potential to have a profound impact on IT and business. Organizations must evolve to deal with the changes, and understand what hype is safe to ignore."
