Guiding Data Centers to Cloud Computing
Based on AFCOM's 2009/2010 Data Center Trends Survey, only 14.9% of all large-scale data centers worldwide had implemented any form of Cloud Computing as of September, 2009; however, it is the collective opinion of the Data Center Institute, that the next five years will see the adoption of Cloud Computing grow dramatically, and that its impact on data center management will be felt throughout the industry.
In this position paper, the Data Center Institute presents specific concepts and issues that should be considered as data centers begin the transformation to leverage public, private, or hybrid cloud computing. This paper is not designed to debate the definition of cloud computing; that's been done in other places. Instead this paper is designed to provide specific guidance for the data center manager.
