It can range from a straightforward transfer to time consuming and expensive migrations.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>In a nutshell my advice is:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The good news is that private and public cloud computing is cheaper than buying your own servers and having your staff install them.<\/li>\n<li>Cloud computing means you turn up IT servers and storage in a fraction of time that you would internally.<\/li>\n<li>While cloud computing is often promoted for the ability to turn up and down extra capacity in peak periods, this rarely\u00a0ever happens outside the case studies that cloud computing companies promote (yes, we have some too). This is because most companies have mostly applications with relatively constant usage, IT departments are busy and while the applications could do this themselves it&#8217;s usually very difficult to execute retrospectively.<\/li>\n<li>Look for portals and tools you use in-house that are also provided from cloud computing, so you can leverage existing IT department skill sets.<\/li>\n<li>Beware of \u201cHotel California\u201d business models that make it very expensive and time consuming to change cloud service providers.\u00a0You are not only used by Apple to make it hard to leave, but they are used also by cloud computing companies using programming linkages (called APIs) and features that you will find your application needs to imbed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One size doesn\u2019t fit all, in my experience every corporate uses a hybrid mix of different types of cloud. The typical hybrid mix is something like this: customised or internally built applications are in a modern data centre, dedicated servers are used for security or regulatory sensitive applications; private cloud is used for all new applications and public self managed cloud is used for the website.\u00a0Many corporate would buy Software as a Service, where the software company has sorted out the hosting and you just pay a monthly total subscription fee.<\/p>\n<p>Most companies still have an old computer room that will disappear in the next 5 years when you next move offices or your IT manager confesses that it needs yet another big capex upgrade due to overheating or power shortages. Onsite\u00a0computer rooms will become very rare in the 2020s, just like\u00a0power generators under each office building 120 years ago disappeared with the arrival of more efficient power plants &amp; wires.<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authored by David Tudehope,\u00a0Chief Executive.
