Q:A recent McKinsey report states that cloud computing is over-hyped and expensive. How do you defend this stand?

A: This may not be entirely true. Though I do not have the numbers, but through the right adoption of cloud computing, the key challenges of IT departments can be addressed easily.

It offers zero capex (thus favoring start-ups), and also provides ready-to-use IT infrastructure. Also, a key advantage is reduction in opex. Since it is a managed platform, it helps in saving power costs. Immediate scalability, no long-term contracts, resources provisioned in real-time, various technical and operational advantages and pay-per-use model are some of  the other key advantages of cloud infrastructure.

 

Q:The security aspect of cloud computing is still suspect. What are vendors such as Amazon, Microsoft and IBM doing to address these concerns?
