Report: Cloud Computing Catching On in Emerging Markets While cloud computing gains steadily in the U.S., U.K. and Germany (and rather slowly in Canada ), it's taking off in emerging markets like Brazil, China and India. According to a study by GfK Custom Research, and covered by FineChannel , cloud computing enjoys relatively high penetration rate in emerging markets, regardless of company size. According to GfK, decision makers in Brazil, China and India have a much more positive view of cloud computing and cite cost-effectiveness, flexibility and security as the main benefits. In contrast, decision makers in the U.S. and the U.K. see security as a barrier rather than a strength, and view flexibility as the main advantage. But Fine Channel notes that data security is seen as a benefit by many in established markets as well. In addition to security, cost, including migration and subscription rates, is often seen as a barrier to adoption. Photo by Jeffrey Bell

Why the cloud must come back to earth Cloud services seem to have got hung up on providing applications, but the focus needs to shift back to network resources as services, says Lori MacVittie. In the early days of cloud computing all the enthusiasm was about the network, but that focus has been quickly eclipsed by the promise of easy application deployment. The end user has become the centre of attention. The call to provide business users with what were described as ways to circumvent unresponsive IT organisations grew louder, while calls for network infrastructure services were quickly drowned out. Of late, cloud computing seems to have stalled in its pursuit of the goal of IT as a service. It's time to step back and refocus on what needs to be accomplished if we're ever going to reach the top of this technological Mount Everest. Policies as services Those policies need to be delivered more like services than scripted configurations, and they need to be application-centric. Enabling services

10 reasons you should build your own cloud As your reliance on cloud technologies increases, it might be time to think about bringing your cloud infrastructure in-house. Businesses have almost reached the point where working within the cloud is a necessity. Be it for data storage, data synchronization, web-based apps, or even cloud-based operating systems, businesses need to hitch a ride to the cloud to keep up with the ever-expanding world around them. I can think of 10 reasons why it does. 1: Cost effectiveness Personal clouds are cheap. 2: Data security Can you honestly trust your Dropbox account? 3: Better control If you rely upon a third-party for your cloud, you have little to no control over how that cloud can be used, how it's deployed, the granularity of its management, or how quickly (and how much) it can be expanded. 4: True flexibility With third-party clouds, you have to take what the provider offers. 5: Sync speed 6: Company integration 7: Unlimited size Run out of space on your cloud? 8: User management 9: Backup control
