• Utility-based computing model providing customers with highly
elastic and scalable computing environments, coupled with
immediate and pay-per-use pricing.
• Delivered & consumed via a Third Party Vendor

10. Cloud Computing Challenges
Security
Is my data secure? Who has access, both physical and logical?
Performance
Will my applications perform well in a virtual environment? Will user experience
be acceptable? Can I scale performance on demand?
Privacy
I need to maintain security data standards such as SSAE 16 Type II, PCI, SOX.
Portability
Is my environment able to move between/interoperate with different cloud
providers? Can I leverage different providers in a DR scenario?
Rogue IT
I need to stop my users from going outside IT’s walls for service – how can I
improve my teams responsiveness while maintaining my security and
compliance standards?
