With ever so expanding and not so expanding cloud market, managed cloud providers have captured their place in this upcoming technological innovation. They promote managed cloud services to organizations with a view to manage and monitor all their operational as well as functional activities.
Although, the awareness about cloud concept is slowly taking a twist amongst people from all walks of life, it still leaves back a mythical environment in the booming web world. What are the challenges and myths faced by managed cloud providers, let us find out.
Points to Ponder Upon
#Myth 1: Cloud Providers Pose Security Threats to the Data Stored on Cloud: Lately, it has been observed that cloud providers that offer cloud management services to business enterprises take care of all factors concerning security, monitoring, compliance issues, data recovery planning and providing effective scaling-up measures. Although, fact that improper work force whether cloud managers or employees of an organization in general doesn’t add up to the productivity cannot be ignored, it surely don’t raise a question on their ability to manage things efficiently.
So, the myth that cloud service providers are inappropriate in securing data of an organization on cloud doesn’t hold any importance. Hiring a reputed and reliable cloud provider and managed cloud service will not only ease out your daily work load but would also enlighten you about minutest of all details on the benefits of putting your businesses on cloud.
#Myth 2: Pay-per-Use Model: Effective for all Users: Prime point that needs to be emphasized upon is that do users actually pay for whatever they consume or do they pay extra to their cloud managers? The consumption of cloud service depends upon how much load an organization wants to release off from its daily operations. There are cloud computing services who offer pay-per-use services at the cost of memory and storage capacity of the data to be brought on cloud. These are fixed services that sometimes don’t serve any purpose to the business enterprise whose consumption is less than what it requires on a daily basis.
Especially, big business ventures cannot survive on such factors and therefore, they opt for managed cloud providers that provide them with flexible and competitive cloud storage options. Factors like memory independence becomes predominant that in turn also helps turning up tables for generating profits.
#Myth 3: Bandwidth for Running Cloud can be availed with Agility: No matter how exceptional your managed cloud service providers are in delivering you with the best cloud services, functional issues such as low Internet connectivity due to bandwidth issues are common problems that prevail in cloud industry. Thus, to make your cloud storage more accessible one need go for a network-based storage. Ask your managed cloud provider and he would guide you about all that is associated with network-based cloud storage and would also help in making your business environment highly scalable and green.
#Myth 4: Cloud Migration (SaaS, PaaS and IaaS) is Easy: Migrating confidential data from on-premises IT infrastructure to a distant server isn’t an easy job to perform. Role of managed cloud service providers becomes more significant here. Their expertise in handling, managing and monitoring cloud of a particular organization is the hardest task to perform as it involves several security threats and other set up issues like which country the information is sent to so on and so forth. Thus, extreme caution is taken while performing cloud migration for a certain business set up.
An Insight on Cloud beyond Mythical Perception
The study of cloud computing and role of managed cloud providers doesn’t limit to the myths discussed above. The concept is way too deep for us to understand and implement it in our daily lives. As far as business enterprises are concerned they still need to capture the cloud industry and make their businesses more viable in the competitive Internet marketing world. Although, there is an increasing rise in the number of cloud service providers offering numerous managed cloud services to their clients, the race for reputed, reliable and cloud workforce with the aim to provide optimized cloud solutions is still to be won.
So, all those wishing to make their businesses virtual via cloud, need not worry as your cloud provider is there to handle all of such worries on your behalf, provided he meets all the above mentioned criteria.
