Concerns over Cloud Security Decreasing

A fascinating chart from Health Works Collective last week highlights a three year decrease in SMBs (small and medium-sized businesses) in concerns about security in an outsourced cloud.

While there are many reasons for these decreases, the trends clearly show that many SMBs are trusting the outsourced cloud more than they previously did three years ago.

Why? Statistics also reveal that outsourcing to an experienced IT vendor actually leads to higher levels of security - not the opposite.



Without the budget or resources to maintain an in-house IT staff, the cloud provides an option that enables business to use their resources elsewhere. 

With concerns about security, private cloud computing allows SMBs a "one-tenant" only environment with better control over sensitive data.  This eliminates the potential of other businesses to infect files in a shared environment.

While security is still a significant concern among SMBs, it is refreshing to see that many of the concerns are dissipating as the cloud is rolling out to more and more SMBs.

Letter to the CFO: Is Vitualization Worth the Cost?

A recent discussion from Linkedin reads like this:

"Dear CFO,

Please understand that a virtual desktop infrastructure is not about saving money the same way we did, when we virtualized our servers."

So is virtualization worth the cost?  Our short answer: Yes, but only if done right.  While the VDI solution by itself, may not justify the costs, the added flexibility and agility could be worth the solution depending on your company's goal. 

However, a viable option would be to connect the VDI with a Citrix XenApp.  By providing both the flexibility and agility, then virtualization could be "worth the cost."

In addtion with the flexibilty to connect with different devices, using Wyse terminals can greatly increase the ROI on VDI solutions.
