Cloud Computing: Is Your Business Prepared For The Inevitable?

Vienna, VA, March 04, 2011 -- With two months behind us in 2011, can you count the number of times that you've already encountered the term "Cloud Computing" so far this year? It is certainly probable that you have heard it, read it or even said it at least a couple of times each week, especially if you follow technology news on any level. It seems almost cliché to say that "all research supports the continued adoption of cloud computing", but the facts are that new reports and studies come out on almost a daily basis, with new analysts or market research firms wanting to put their endorsement on the growth of the cloud.

However, maybe your business isn't in the cloud yet or it doesn't have any immediate plans to move to a cloud computing solution. While that may be a defendable position today, based on your specific organizational technology needs or preferences, the possibility of an eventual move does bear certain consideration. Businesses need to have clearly defined plans and performance metrics for the ongoing management of their internal IT infrastructure, but they should also maintain a diligent watch for continued developments and offerings in the cloud. If the abundance of research is correct, their will be come a time when the cloud will offer a greater value for a majority of businesses.

When asked for comment, Christopher Stark, President and CEO of Cetrom, replied "I believe that there will be a point where virtually every business will have some commitment to cloud computing. The differential factor will depend on the ratio of the services that they elect to migrate off premise, and their internal level of technical expertise in managing their cloud services. Our solution offers scalable services that meet the needs of companies that only want specific platforms, such as hosted exchange, to companies that are looking for a completely hosted IT solution."

Mitch Jones, Director of Business Development of Cetrom, said "While there are still skeptics that point to security and the lack of industry standards for performance, as reasons not to move to the cloud, the opposing tide of satisfied cloud clients are moving steadily against their positions. As the adoption of cloud computing continues to grow, these cynics should become a steadily decreasing minority, that will most likely have to face their own cloud decision far sooner than they expect".
