Zusammenfassung: A close look at cloud computing's transformational role in business Covering cloud computing from what the business leader needs to know, this book describes how IT can nimbly ramp up revenue initiatives, positively impact business operations and costs, and how this allows business leaders to shed worry about technology so they can focus on their business. It also reveals the cloud's effect on corporate organization structures, the evolution of traditional IT in the global economy, potential benefits and risks of cloud models and most importantly, how the IT function is being rethought by companies today who are making room for the coming tidal wave that is cloud computing. Why IT and business thinking must change to capture the full potential of cloud computing Topics including emerging cloud solutions, data security, service reliability, the new role of IT and new business organization structures Other titles by Hugos include: Business Agility: Sustainable Prosperity in a Relentlessly Competitive World and Essentials of Supply Chain Management, 2nd Edition Practical and timely, this book reveals why it's worth every company's time and effort to exploit cloud computing's potential for their business's survival and success.Zusammenfassung: Business in the Cloud: WHAT EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT CLOUD COMPUTING -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Chapter 1: The Evolution and Future of Corporate Business Structures -- Example of a New Corporate Organization Structure -- Model of a Responsive Organization -- A Cybernetic Economy -- Cybernetics Is about Control and Communication -- Profit Potential of Self-Adjusting Feedback Loops -- Viable Systems Model: A Framework for Business Agility -- A Cloud-Based Model for Business Organizations -- Notes -- Chapter 2: The New Economics of Business -- Moving to a Variable Cost Operating Model -- Information Technology Finally Becomes a Utility -- Variable Cost IT Operations Enable Business Agility -- A Combination of Technologies Creates Cloud Computing -- Implications of the Transition to Cloud Computing -- Notes -- Chapter 3: Key Technologies Used in Cloud Computing -- Cloud Computing Defined -- Software-as-a-Service -- Server Virtualization -- Service-Oriented Architecture -- Open Source Software -- Web Development and Mashups -- Blending It All Together -- Notes -- Chapter 4: Data Security and Service Reliability -- Will Your Cloud Service Provider Be Here Next Year? -- What to Look for in a Good Service Provider -- Elements of Good Data Security Policy -- Cyber Threats and Perimeter Security in Cloud Computing -- Encryption: The Next Frontier of Data Security -- Contracts, Service-Level Agreements, and Guarantees -- Negotiating Service and Pricing -- Performance Penalties and Restitution Clauses -- Notes -- Chapter 5: Moving to the Cloud: When and Where -- A Business Strategy Based on Agility -- Using the Cloud for Business Advantage -- Business Applications with the Greatest Potential -- Risk Considerations with the Cloud -- Cloud Cost Considerations -- Case Study: Selling ''Designer Chocolates'' -- Notes.PPN: PPN: 80911965XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PBE | ZDB-30-PQE
