Bring-your-own cloud
It may seem counterintuitive given the faith in cloud services but own-your-own facilities will also increase. That’s because those who appreciate the value of their data, who face regulatory requirements or do the sums on computationally extensive resources will need their own facilities.
Data centres to host this load are blooming like poppies on an Afghan hillside and with good reason. As Wikileaks discovered when Amazon and other providers shut off its servers without warning, there are some things good to own. The rest you can burst into the cloud. And only by discussing your customers’ business will you know which to recommend.
‘PGP’ or Privacy Grows Profit
This year, privacy will take on a new importance as bring- your-own employees' PCs collide with mobile
and custom malware. All that data and apps living all around us, that’s your business and their business and your customers’ business and how much control do you really have over all that?
Malware attacks that are written to dupe targeted individuals will reach pandemic proportions this year and traditional approaches will do little to staunch the flood of red ink.
Build a culture of defending privacy – of your staff, partners, customers and their stakeholders.
