Education about cloud computing is absolutely necessary to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing. In 2012, as predicted in Indonesia will be a year where people will want to know more about cloud technologies, including trying the service directly.
One thing is for sure, by diverting resources to the cloud technology that does not mean the owner of the data can get out of hand if there are things that are not desirable (eg, crashes, hacked) occurs with its cloud service providers.
A good service provider cloud from the initial contract would be invited to sit with my clients designing the system environment to obtain optimal results. This is the initial evidence of the seriousness of cloud service providers to really help us take care of over the entire resources of the company's computer system.
Here are the myths of cloud computing and how it actually happens in the real world:
1. Cloud Computing is not secure, reliable, and scalable
I combine these three things into one. The fact is that cloud computing may not be secure, reliable, and scalable. This could happen if we choose a service provider cloud that is not appropriate and we are not directly involved in designing the desired computer system architecture.
According to Francis, the use of cloud services does not mean the system is immediately 100% safe. We still need to install a security system such as SSL and all layers of security that a major factor in whether our system is easily penetrated or not. From the beginning, cloud service providers are supposed to give you advice on how best to ensure system security.
Meanwhile, reliable and scalable factors depend on the way we design computer systems that are owned in the cloud and how the backup plan that is owned by a service provider cloud. Thus, preparatory steps - both in choosing a cloud provider and architecture design of computer systems - is critical to determine whether the system will be secure, reliable, and scalable.
2. Cloud Computing does not save money
It could be that in fact the costs to divert resources to the cloud service is cheaper than making your own data center. The problem, making the data center itself is certainly needed a name space, infrastructure, and hardware are all assets and depreciation factors. Not to mention if we need to update it periodically.
In contrast with the technology transfer system cloud, only one thing we think of the financial side, the operating costs. There is no need of assets and depreciation are taken care of. Think of it as a regular monthly payment is issued, such as electricity, water, or telephone. No need to bother with the update or how to dispose of the device technology is already obsolete.
3. Cloud Computing requires new IT skills
Is cloud technology requires a new skill? Now reversed, if you are engaged in the world of Information Technology, which is not new every day? In contrast to other techniques of the world, IT is a very fast world demand change. This includes the skills and knowledge required. What is the trend five years ago could have been no use at this time.
Especially for cloud technology, the system administrator at the company would have to know how to handle the technology applied by the cloud computing service. Continuous learning, especially for new technologies, is a must and it is not negotiable. Of course, cloud providers will always help if you need the transfer of science and technology.
That's a bit of a myth associated with cloud computing. The bottom line is cloud technology does help us take care of a computer system that is owned but the owner of the system remains fully responsible for ensuring that the systems have been really quite secure, reliable, and scalable. Update on the development of technology is also a must in this fast-paced world. Hopefully we can understand the cloud with better technology and can decide whether cloud computing technology is the best solution for our system.
