Interested in ways to make your business more efficient? Then Cloud
Computing may be just what you have been looking for. Cloud
Computing can enable you to drive down the costs of your IT
function and gives you the ability to focus on your core business,
whilst saving energy. The concept of shifting computing to a shared
service provider is not new. What is new is that the cost of Cloud
Computing is falling so dramatically that considering outsourcing
to the Cloud is no longer rare. And, in an era of tight budgets,
the opportunity to make financial savings means that Cloud
Computing looks especially attractive. "Above the Clouds: Managing
Risk in the World of Cloud Computing" acts as a primer and
strategic guide to identify Cloud Computing best practices and
associated risks, and reduce the latter to acceptable levels. From
software as a service (SaaP) to replacing the entire IT
infrastructure, the author serves as an educator, guide and
strategist, from runway to getting the organization above the
clouds. Valuable tips on how to choose your provider of Cloud
Services are also offered. The author, Kevin T. McDonald is a
Senior Information Technology Analyst and Cloud Strategist for ICF
International Inc, a consulting firm in Washington, DC. A member of
the Tech America Cloud Computing Committee and the Cloud Security
Alliance, Kevin has over 25 years' experience in IT, choosing to
specialize in cyber security, infrastructure protection and
business continuity. Buy this book and take your business on a
journey above the Clouds!
