Uncovering the Mysteries of Cloud Services, Part 5

Monday, March 1, 2010 by Sam Newberry
Defining Cloud Services:
  • Public Cloud (cont.): There are many, many considerations and risks associated with public cloud which must be mitigated.  Instead of attempting to address every risk, I will provide some questions to be asked whenver one is consiering cloud services.
  1. Where is the data?
  2. Who owns the data?
  3. Is the data backed up?
  4. Can the data be extracted?
  5. Are the data and servers volatile?
  6. Who has access to the data and servers?
In my next blog I will answer these questions as applicable to LightBound's Shared Storage Server (s) and Hosted Virtual Server.
