Cloud computing is evolving from concept to a practical working reality. The consensus is that it will streamline costs: fewer salaried personnel, reduced power consumption, and less technical support.
Applying the ideas and principles of cloud computing to information technology operations can offer organizations agility and cost savings. However, despite the benefits a cloud environment promises, there are issues that will need to be addressed regarding the security of mission-critical and enterprise applications in the cloud. SYS-ED staff and CETi Technology Partners are evaluating the combinations of software that will form the virtual infrastructure required to set up a trusted pool of resources, encrypted software, and development tools required for a successful implementation of a cloud environment.
These technology assessments summarize research from the Computer Education Techniques knowledge base. Additional information is distributed through SYS-ED software specific websites.
