What works in the Cloud?

#cloudcomputing

What works in the Cloud?

1. When processes, applications and data are mostly independent
2. When the integration points are well defined
3. When there is an acceptance of lower security levels (or perceived to be lower)
4. When an organisations internal IT enterprise architecture is good
5. When the required platform is web based
6. When cost is a consideration
7. When the applications are new

What doesn't work so well?

1. When processes, applications and data are not decoupled
2. When the integration points are not well defined
3. When high security is a requirement (or the perception of high security)
4. When an organisations internal IT enterprise architecture is not so good
5. When the applications require "thick-client" interfaces
6. When cost is a consideration
7. When the applications are legacy
