  • Adoption of Cloud Computing relating to Data Storage

    2307 Words  | 5 Pages

    The main driving forces of cloud data storage are reputable companies such as Amazon and Google building comprehensive computing infrastructures (Google, 2009). These infrastructures are removing the complexity of in-house data storage and ultimately reducing costs of limited networked data centres (Hitachi, 2010). The traditional inefficient model of purchasing servers every time you need to accommodate for high use or growth is now being replaced by internet based systems that replicate your data centres but without the big overheads (Google, 2009). This flexibility assists in the ever changing business world and its continuous improvement initiatives to remove waste, improve efficiency, and ultimately reduce costs. Another key driving force is the support for effective business continuity which will remove again the hardware costs and the strain on risk assessment and management. Removing this hassle can free up valuable time for the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Information Technology (IT) department to implement IT and Information Management (IM) efficiently and in due course reduce cost. Werner Vogles of Amazon of Web Services (Twitter) supports the idea of less hardware because if you have to buy more hardware to initiate this cloud movement it is not a cloud. This further supports the need to shed the old procedures of having in-house hardware and data storage and instil efficacy.
