Developing an Enterprise Cloud Computing Strategy
Saturday, January 24th, 2009Security risks, the lack of mature technology and standards, and other concerns prevent widespread enterprise adoption of external cloud computing today. Intel IT is developing a cloud computing strategy based on growing the cloud from the inside out, initially growing our internal virtualized computing environment to support an increasing number of cloud-like attributes over time. Additionally, Intel is already taking advantage of external cloud computing technologies including software as a service (SaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). This white paper documents our findings and suggests which applications are not suitable and which are suitable for hosting in external clouds at present. (more…)
