Where in the Cloud do you belong?
The Cloud turns computing into a service, like electricity, cable or satellite.
 How much or how little of the Cloud you need depends on a complex set of pros and cons.
 Depending on the balance you need, you can use Private cloud on premises, IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS.

Artizen White Paper:
Cloud Computing – What is your migration plan?
You control all of it because you own
it, top to bottom.
Pros
 Security. Everything is behind your firewall.
 Compliance. With HIPPA, FISMA, etc.
 Legal. You can better preserve and protect liability
documentation.
Cons
 Expense. You buy everything from hardware through
staffing.
 Efficiency. Systems must be big enough to handle peak
demand.
 Scalability. It takes time and money to build it yourself.
 Vendor lock-in. It’s more difficult to change
hardware/software.
