GestaltIT Considers When The Cloud Gets Dark
March 31st, 2009 | 
Author: A couple of weekends ago an email discussion started among the authors at GestaltIT.com about cloud computing. As I remember it (yes, I am too lazy to check for the actual first email) we started on Friday and replied back and forth until Sunday night. The results of those replies are slowly forming as posts about real world, enterprise infrastructure concerns and opinions about implementing and migrating to Infrastructure As A Service (Iaas). Governance And Peaks In The Cloud written by Joerg, Martin, and Stephen is the first post to be published from this dialogue.
“As large organizations begin to look towards cloud computing, many find themselves questioning the suitability of the infrastructure for their business needs. As consumer-focused services like Carbonite lose data and startup-focused systems like Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure suffer outages, the image of the cloud has darkened. How are providers protecting the data? What RTO and RPO is offered? Are these sufficient for the types of applications being considered for the cloud?”
Read the entire post, and check out GestaltIT for much more about Cloud Computing infrastructure – both in posts already published and in the posts yet to come!
