Greetings,
I've been asked to put together a presentation on the pros and cons of cloud
computing and a recommendation for what, if anything, can be moved to the
cloud which will result in a net savings that will be worth any additional
problems/headaches.
Aside from personal computing I don't have any experience with working on
the cloud so I was hoping some of you could share your experiences with me
and offer any insight into the subject.
My primary questions are:
- Aside from email, what other types of services are most suitable for
moving to the cloud?
- How can latency as a result of things being stored offsite be
circumvented?
- What cloud service providers are worth looking into and where can I
find a general idea of what pricing would be like?
- I realize Amazon is one of the big ones but based on their recent
disaster and the constant downtime of reddit (which I've read is due to
Amazon), they seem like a poor choice
- What security concerns are there for moving data to the cloud?
Any additional information would greatly be appreciated as well.
Thanks!
-Evan
