The 3 Myths of Cloud Computing

In a cloud computing seminar, Mr Francis Lee from Joyent said there are a number of myths about cloud computing. The myths that made people and companies are still reluctant to switch the old model to data centre cloud computing services. Education about cloud computing is absolutely necessary to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing. Indonesia in 2012, As I predicted, will be year where people would want to know more about cloud technologies, including try the service directly.

One certain thing is, by diverting resources to the cloud doesn’t mean the data owner can relax and not interfere if there are things that are not working (ie: crashes, hacked) with cloud service providers. At the initial of contract, service providers must have discussed with clients to design the system environment for obtaining optimal results. This is the proof of the cloud service providers’ seriousness in order to help us dealing with the change of resources from the system owned by the company.

Mitos-Mitos Cloud Computing

Mitos-mitos inilah yang membuat orang-orang ataupun perusahaan masih enggan untuk berpindah dari model data center lama ke layanan cloud computing. Edukasi tentang cloud computing mutlak diperlukan untuk mengetahui apa saja kelebihan dan kekurangan cloud computing. Tahun 2012 seperti yang saya prediksikan di Indonesia akan menjadi tahun di mana orang akan ingin tahu lebih banyak tentang teknologi cloud, termasuk mencoba layanan tersebut secara langsung.

Satu hal yang pasti, dengan mengalihkan sumber daya ke teknologi cloud bukan berarti pemilik data bisa ongkang-ongkang kaki dan lepas tangan jika ada hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan (misalnya: crash, hacked) terjadi dengan penyedia layanan cloud-nya. Penyedia layanan cloud yang baik pasti dari awal kontrak akan mengajak klien untuk duduk bareng mendesain environment sistem untuk mendapatkan hasil yang optimal. Ini merupakan bukti awal keseriusan penyedia layanan cloud untuk secara sungguh-sungguh membantu kita mengurusi alih sumber daya terhadap seluruh sistem komputer yang dimiliki perusahaan.

Cloud Computing Will be a Trend in Indonesia in 2012?

In the last couple months, we have detected several movements of cloud computing services in Indonesia. The first one is Joyent Cloud, in partnership with Malaysia-based Anise Asia. Joyent Cloud and Anise Asia brought a seminar couple weeks ago and tried to deliver information about cloud computing advantages and is myths. Joyent Cloud is one of the pioneer in cloud computing and now their services is utilized by several big startups, including LinkedIn.

The next one is Amazon Web Services, which was giving their support for e27 and StartLokal’s meetup few days ago. And the latest is CBN that developing cloud computing data center assisted by Brocade switching technology. For local ecosystem, you definitely still remember about Biznet and its cloud computing pioneer.
