Not surprisingly, telecoms
proved to be one of the most
committed industries when
it comes to cloud adoption.
Faced with cutting edge
competition to deliver the
best customer experience
alongside new services that
are available anywhere,
anytime, telecom providers
clearly see a real opportunity
in the cloud delivery model.
The cloud’s ability to deal
with volumes of big data
both economically and
efficiently have also made it
an attractive storage choice
for network operators.
Many providers are
also using the cloud to
supplement their data
centres to exercise cost
control. Finally, as some
telecoms providers are
struggling to deliver a true
end-to-end experience
over legacy infrastructures
(which often present
challenges to network
optimisation), the cloud
is helping to reduce
operational costs by
minimising software and
hardware requirements.
Healthcare will
move its customer
data to the cloud,
whilst utilities will
prioritise IT and
R&D data
59 per cent of respondents
highlighted that the
healthcare industry will
move customer data to the
cloud in the next two years.
With the overwhelming
amount of big data now
available to medical
research, cloud storage is
‘Cloud is one of the
most secure means
of virtual storage
available.’
a natural choice that will
allow data to be stored
inexpensively so that it
can be easily retrieved for
analysis, potentially driving
new discoveries in medical
science.
On the utilities front,
companies globally will
prioritise moving IT
infrastructure (64 per cent)
and R&D/Engineering data
(52 per cent).
The simple truth is that
cloud is actually one of
the most secure means of
virtual storage available.
While research does point
to widespread concerns, the
fact is that cloud storage
is growing rapidly, remains
hugely cost effective, and
that there are ways to
manage it securely.
Cloud computing
security processes should
be designed to address
the security controls that
the cloud provider will
incorporate, in order to
maintain the data security,
privacy and compliance with
necessary regulations, as
well as providing a business
continuity and data backup
plan. By identifying the
barriers within the business
that hinder further adoption,
as well as where cloud
storage is creating positive
opportunities, companies
can be reassured that
cloud storage is a safe and
cost effective way to store
co mpany information.
