With the points you made about people’s fear of cloud computing I thought you might be interested in the opinion of Rick Porting, a SAP consultant, and his views on some of reasons why people are scared of the cloud, and the facts that they overlook. http://bimehq.com/cloud-computing/guest-post-afraid-cloud/

]]> Comment on The risks in cloud computing by Mister Reiner http://blog.nscaled.com/2010/06/18/the-risks-in-cloud-computing/#comment-2 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:05:57 +0000 http://nscaled.wordpress.com/?p=22#comment-2 This looks like it’s going to be an interesting discussion.

Some additional things you might want to consider are:

1. Business disaster recovery planning. What happens when your vendor’s assets “burn to the ground” and you are left with nothing?

2. Data GPS. Is it possible to physically track where your data is at any time?

3. Vendor migration strategy. While this falls under vendor lock-in, what are some hidden costs and concerns that can negatively impact an organization or it’s operations?

4. Policy and governance of confidential and intellectual property. Should some information never touch the cloud and how does that impact an organization’s overall cloud computing strategy?
