Brian Wolff of BlueLock, an Indiana technology, SaaS provider and Partner in Success™ with Alerding Castor, recently wrote a blog post on the outlook of Cloud Computing in hosting enviornments. In particular, Brian states:
What do we have to look forward to in 2009 and beyond? Most industry
leaders agree Cloud Computing – moving from traditional data centers to
virtual servers is the future. In a post
on New Years Day Jeff Kaplan offered his predictions for 2009. Leading
his list: On-Demand Services Move From Why To How. He said:
“Now
that SaaS has achieved widespread market penetration and the idea of
cloud computing has become popularized in the business as well as trade
press, the discussion will shift in 2009 from why organizations should
adopt SaaS/cloud computing services to how to do it effectively.”
Brian goes on to say that BlueLock continues to see this trend and encourages businesses to find the most effective manners to adopt managed services to optimize IT
operations.
It is important for IT/business decision-makers
to evaluate the functionality and financial viability of the various
solutions. They should be asking questions about the integration and
security requirements; performance monitoring, disaster recovery
capability, and service level compliance. Ultimately they must have a
means to measure the economic impact and business benefits of these
services.
To find out more about Cloud Computing in the hosting environment and BlueLock's services, consider attending CloudCamp here in Indianapolis. BlueLock is bringing together business leaders and technologists for a lively discussion on both the technical and business applications of Cloud Computing.
