Many say cloud is great but many say control is important..private cloud (on prem) gives control & cost more & public cloud cost less with less control..CIOs want to know the key tradeoffs wrt storage #cloud #storage #datacenter
Nick Howell
I would argue that that is an old concern. Those processes are improving everyday with enhanced RBAC and more granular API SDK's to control who can do what to what and when.
Adam J. Bergh I agree with this, but old thoughts die a long death. How do we ease concerns about this?
Jason E. Knight Control is bigger than who has access to the data. What about the cloud company that goes out of business and gives their users two weeks to get their data?
Adam J. Bergh
One big challenge is data integrity. Insuring the validity and security of data as it moves between private and public clouds.
vmiss yes, integrety is key, and things like NetApp Private Storage for AWS can answer that
Val Bercovici - 2020 Hindsight it's always easy to overlook the foundational stuff, but when the foundation architecture can be as elastic as this scope, real innovation must step up to make sure it doesn't snap! Enuf mixed metaphors for now? :D

Great point and it's more relevant than ever as Software Defined "anything" (SDx) is a top strategic tech trends http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2603623 @furrier

I think every org is different for on prem or cloud being the "cheapest" solution. You have to find that right balance for your org's ROI before investing too heavily one way or the other.

Unless orgs have plan to tie cloud services and on-prem together, it can turn into an integration nightmare.

There has to be a balance between private and public clouds. Chargeback (as mentioned) is going to come into play for the private to help with internal costs if implemented correctly.
Val Bercovici - 2020 Hindsight exactly - if you're not talking about chargeback (or at least showback) at some point - you ain't talkin cloud ;)

It's abt defining ops, biz processes, & tech as services-within & beyond the entprse.
