A Cloudy Day Ahead?
As Ingenux reached its 10-year birthday recently, we have seen many fads or "the next best thing" come and go related to the internet. The new "thing" is cloud computing and if you haven't jumped on this bandwagon yet, here are the top 4 reasons why you should look for sunnier days.
1. Cloud Computing makes your IT excessively dependent on the InternetCloud Computing exists on the premise that the Internet will always be as robust and reliable for all time to come. While one can be fairly optimistic, there is always the danger of the unforeseen Armageddon. For example, congressmen in the United States are pushing for bills that can shutdown/limit internet traffic in the event of war, so that they can stick to their prescribed content on television. If a company loses internet connectivity to its cloud even for a few days, as a result of an Internet outage affecting either it or the Cloud Computing Service, there could be very damaging consequences. I am not talking about your E-store going offline. Suppose the daily activities of your company were on a database on a cloud? In such a scenario, you may wish your servers were in a makeshift bunker in your backyard, rather than on the cloud.And because of its dependence on the internet, Cloud Computing can never perform as a substitute for in-house servers. For example, there are speed limits, related to hardware and bandwidth, when transferring data to and from the cloud via the internet. Using VPNs and SSL tunnels can further slow the speed.
2. Cloud Computing makes you dependent on the goodwill of your ISPCloud Computing may require large bandwidth for the client, depending on what the client is hosting on the cloud. And the same ISPs who are clamoring for bandwidth caps may charge an arm and a leg if the client exceeds his or her bandwidth quota.
3. Cloud Computing is sounding more like a Fad than a TrendSuddenly, all ringers, gurus, and experts are clamoring for Cloud Computing. Articles are appearing in respectable publications weighing the pros and cons. Business heads are flaunting how they managed to cut costs. Are you willing to "invest" your data in the newest scheme?
4. Cloud Computing may be of little consequence for the Average Small BusinessThe May 2009 issue of WIRED carried an interesting article on Cloud Computing, highlighting pros and cons. The key example cited in favor of Cloud Computing was an Eli Lily information consultant, who as a client of Amazon Web Services uses his iPhone to run "genomic analysis" on the cloud. How many businesses executives can picture themselves doing this?
