Rethinking IT Security in the Age of the Cloud
There’s obviously a lot of concern when it comes to the security of public cloud computing services. But there’s also a lot of opportunity to right the mistakes of the past as IT organizations move to embrace what amounts to a fundamentally new approach to enterprise computing.

Cloud computing is no longer just the “next big thing.” It has arrived in the consciousness of the mainstream with industry buzz, TV commercials showcasing its power, and the real promise of revolutionizing computing as we know it. But for those of us dancing on the ground trying to make clouds appear out of the clear blue sky, the next generation public cloud is still just over the horizon.

How to Incrementally Embrace Public Cloud Computing
When it comes to production applications in the enterprise, many cloud computing service providers are willing to be bench players.
Instead of investing in IT infrastructure to support peak applications loads, cloud computing providers are making the case that IT organizations should invest in just enough IT equipment to support their average loads. Spikes in application workload requirements would then be handled by cloud computing providers that would instantly make additional capacity on demand.
