Cloud
High-speed, low-latency networks and cloud services are a chicken and egg proposition – with the former, the latter becomes useful but how do you estimate the benefit until your network or
your customer’s network is at perfect pitch?
Services run in the cloud relieve businesses from wrangling their data and are a source of further sprawl. Keep an eye on where data is stored and the contracts that dictate its preservation and maintenance. Keep data used daily close to the customer and push the rest into the cloud.
Look to see what applications can be run from the cloud or hosted. More businesses are looking seriously at providers such as Google and Salesforce.com for their everyday apps and with Microsoft anointing the sector it seems business is about to explode.
But there are other providers of cloud servics, most notably in information security, that are worth considering. And you can always white labelling under your brand.
Companies: Microsoft, salesforce.com, Google, Mozy, Rackspace (for hosting).
