From ITVAR News, CSC Launches Cloud
Assessment Service,
Expanding on its
current Cloud service offerings, CSC announced it will launch a Cloud Adoption
Assessment Service to help companies across the world identify the right
business process and IT services when moving to the Cloud.
CSCs Cloud Adoption Assessment gives businesses a head start in understanding
the complexity of the Cloud Computing ecosystem. The new service performs a
process-centric analysis of a company’s existing technology set-up using a
Suitability Scorecard. By focusing on business processes, rather than on
infrastructures or architectures, CSC creates a top-down assessment that maps
to the companys strategic objectives. Originally developed in the UK, the
service will be made available to companies across Europe, Australia and the
USA beginning in late November.
The CSC Cloud Adoption Assessment helps businesses reach the right decisions to
make the shift to Cloud Computing a successful experience. At the end of a
three-week assessment, businesses will receive a tailored Cloud adoption
roadmap for the target processes and a high-level benefits assessment. A
They will also receive an understanding of:
- How to align
their Cloud Computing strategy with their business strategy
- Which parts of
their business are suitable for moving to a Cloud-based delivery model
- Â How much
of each process they should put into the cloud: whether they should retain
control in house, but use Cloud-based infrastructure, buy the entire
process in as a service, or something in between
- Â Which
services are enterprise-ready and offer the right levels of security and
governance for their business
- Â The
impact on procurement and what to consider before signing on the dotted
line.
Cloud computing is here. Running applications on
machines in an Internet-accessible data center can bring plenty of advantages.
Yet wherever they run, applications are built on some kind of platform. For
on-premises applications, this platform usually includes an operating system,
some way to store data, and perhaps more. Applications running in the cloud
need a similar foundation. The goal of Microsoft’s Windows Azure is to provide
this. Part of the larger Azure Services Platform, Windows Azure is a platform
for running Windows applications and storing data in the cloud.
Cloud Computing is a style of computing in which
dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service
over the Internet. To deploy a new solution, most of your time and energy is
spent on defining the right infrastructure, hardware and software, to put
together to create that solution, Cloud Computing allows people to share
resources to solve new problems. Cloud Computing users can avoid capital
expenditure (CapEx) on hardware, software, and services when they pay a
provider only for what they use.
