Architecture for the Cloud

There are many different perspectives about the cloud. First, there's the holy grail view: the cloud your virtualization solution; it's your scalable infrastructure, supporting IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS! At the same time, there are many issues relating to the cloud such as integration, security, integrity, reliability, accountability.

The business has an entirely different perspective: the cloud provides a new way to source IT without needing the IT department. The business does not think about the other issues.

How can you resolve this disconnect? Cutter Consortium's Senior Consultants will help architect your enterprise for the cloud to addresses the entire range of issues including integration, semantics, security, data integrity, reliability, DR/BCP. Plus, we'll help you create and describe a framework that includes accountability and responsibility to govern cloud adoption.

Our team will help you determine:

• What can be moved to the cloud
• What should not be moved to the cloud
• What IT should do proactively
• What the business can do on their own, and
• What the business needs to coordinate with IT

The cloud is here. Make sure your architecture defines how to use it to add value, not risk, to your enterprise.
