1. Cloud myths
busted
TOP 10

2. We view the Cloud as one of the pillars of modern computing,
both now and for the foreseeable future. But for many, Cloud
computing remains mystery.There are plenty of myths built up
around deploying and running applications on it.

3. Let’s wear our myth-busters
suits, and clean up those
myths once and for all.

4. Everything works better
in the cloudMyth #1
The cloud might not be right for all of your IT infrastructure needs.
The solution is a combination of one or more of the available options
(a private cloud which offers more options, dedicated hosting,
and even old-fashioned native applications)

5. The cloud is not secure
No system is ever 100% secure, and that is why it's important to assess
the relative risk.Are your company servers better protected than cloud-based
assets? The major cloud providers invest more heavily in security than
the average business.
Myth #2

6. Cloud is expensive.
Or cheap.
The up-front cost can often be sizeable, but you will save in the “total cost
of ownership” (TCO). Plus, switching to an operational expenditure model rather than
a capital expenditure one, can be beneficial for many businesses.
PS. Opportunity cost! You don’t have to use your own infrastructue.

7. There’s only one cloud
There is, in fact, an innumerable number of clouds, both public and private.
As for the major players, Google, Facebook,Apple, Microsoft etc. – they all run
their own cloud.
Myth #4

8. But it also means you have to do your
research, as not all clouds are created equal.
Myth #4

9. The cloud is a fad
If anything, it was the isolated personal computer that has proven to be a fad.
Computers were “behemoths” serving tens of users using dumb terminals.Then, in the eighties
and early nineties, we had the short period of non-connected PC's.Today our browsers are once
again those “dumb terminals”, and there’s no going back to the pre-internet and pre-cloud era.
Myth #5

10. In fact, Gartner predicts that companies will spend $788 billions
on public cloud services the next four years

11. The cloud is for small
businessesMyth #6
This myth, like most myths, has some basis in the truth: the Cloud is a godsent
for small businesses that cannot afford dedicated IT personnel. But don't forget
that the biggest IT companies on the planet, Google, Facebook, Microsoft are
all heavy users of private Cloud infrastructure.

12. Clouds are one-size-fits all
Any organisation has tons of flexibility with regards to how it uses the Cloud.
Myth #7

13. There are the different deployment models: public, private and hybrid.
Then there are the three ways that Cloud services can be packaged
and sold: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS)
and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Myth #7

14. Everything should be
automated in the cloud
Everything can be automated but it does not mean that it should.The Cloud enables
you to replace parts of your existing infrastructure one at a time, while at the same
time making sure that everything still works as good as before.
Myth #8

15. The cloud is not reliable
“Amazon AWS has been down for 3 hours”, “GAE down for SE Asia users”. Do
you know news like that? This gives the wrong impression that the Cloud is
more unreliable than your enterprise IT department.
Myth #9

16. For the typical enterprise, internal IT outages are usually more devastating
than Cloud ones. In practice, several studies have shown that the Cloud offers
improved service availability compared to the majority of local IT solutions.
Myth #9

17. Cloud eliminates
traditional Software
While you’ll adopt the Cloud for your infrastructure needs, you’ll still need
Windows or OS X to run your desktop applications. Plus, there’s no Cloud
substitute for Solitaire and Minesweeper.
Myth #10

18. Any organisation has tons of flexibility with
regards to how it uses the Cloud.

19. Conclusion
We tried to clear out 10 myths — but there are many
more.The Cloud is neither a “silver bullet”
nor something to be wary of. It’s an important part
of any modern IT infrastructure.
