what type of hosting do you use and why did you chose it? If you have cloud did you do a comprehensive and thorough risk analysis before taking it on? promostamper
Why are you asking? And why should anyone do thorough research and analysis before doing it? indizine indizine
am looking into it carefully before deciding whether to take it or not so far i have not found any good reason to. a key conclusion of the article 29 working group is that "businesses and administrations wishing to use cloud computing should conduct, as a first step, a comprehensive and thorough risk analysis" as cloud computing can can trigger a number of data protection risks. promostamper
“a key conclusion of the article 29 working group is that "businesses and administrations wishing to use cloud computing should conduct, as a first step, a comprehensive and thorough risk analysis" as cloud computing can can trigger a number of data protection risks.” I think it's 2 different questions. If hosting refers to your website, and is the primary mechanism for you generating revenue, then I'd definitely agree about risk analysis when it came to hosting your site in a cloud environment. Although it gets better all the time, I personally think there is no substitute for physical dedicated servers, with you being the sole client, in terms of speed and reliability  Work out a hypothetical downtime for 24 hours and potential lost revenue, and then do the maths. This should give you your monthly budget.But this argument loses weight if you are looking at cheap shared hosting or virtual private servers, in which case cloud hosting may be a more viable alternative. As for cloud and back office stuff, such as mail servers, file servers etc, then definitely, switch off that old tin in the office and take the leap (with a decent backup solution unrelated to the cloud provider )Security wise will be down to individual providers, and as with all industries, there will be good and bad. Data protection wise shouldn't make any difference to your current practices. If you are required to use SSL or one way encryption on documents, passwords etc, and do currently then this shouldn't be an issue.
I have a few different sites and like sjr4x4 usually assess based on requirements: - How much downtime can I bear (check the SLA) - How much control do I want of the machine (web only, need for cron jobs, custom software, my own OS) - How much bandwidth, CPU performance If there is the budget then I would go for a virtual private server or a dedicated server. mattjonesits |
