c) Risks
c) Risks and potentials that cloud computing might imply (for IT in general)
Risks
dependent general)
Cloud Computing
can both bring risks as well as opportunities depending on how it is applied
and which countermeasures for the risks are taken.
Usually a
contract between the provider of the Cloud Computing service and the customer
is concluded. Here the duration, terms and extend of the service is recorded.
At this point
problems can occur because the company using the Cloud Computing service is now
dependent on the provider.
This dependency exists
because of the duration of the contract and because there can be some technical
constraints concerning development tools. Those are often offered by the
provider to enable the customer to develop custom cloud services. These tools often
only work in the provided architecture and thereby the custom services are tied
to the provider.Lissen 2014
Risks
dependent on the provider
safety and data protection
risk of renouncing own IT competence
reliability of the cloud
a working internet connection is crutial
potential need to adapt to the providers software if own software is not offered
data protection regulations can be violated
Potentials
scalable
dynamic load distribution - on demand
not all IT resources have to be bought, only those that are needed
10% -50% of the IT hardware is only used in load peaks
quick renting of additional capacity i needed (e.g. due to business growth)
lower costs
no investment risks (for small companies)
easy: management of the servers is outsourced
Green IT
no long-term capital tie-up
risk transfer to provider through defining a SLA (Service Level Agreement)
technology is up to date
using regional locations that are cheaper than storing the IT in the location of the own company
