F.A.Q.
What cloud computing security solutions your business needs to consider?
Above all, secure cloud computing solutions rely on experienced Solution
architects, who consider all possible security risks while creating a cloud architecture. When your
solution is up and running, there is an array of cloud computing security solutions that help
enterprises face threats on different levels. They include Preventive controls (for example, strong
authentication and proper identity management) and Detective controls (individual prevention mechanisms
and continuous cloud infrastructure monitoring). In case of breach, Corrective controls step in to
restore the cloud’s operation and lost data. Other reliable ways to secure your cloud computing
solutions is by SSL encryption and enforcing strong API security.
What are the cloud computing challenges and solutions for the coming years?
According to IDG’s 2018 survey, 73 percent of organizations have already
adopted cloud computing solutions for business, while another 17 percent plan to follow suit in 2019 and
beyond. Therefore, the main challenge for the coming years is establishing cloud as a default technology
in the enterprise, whether transferring the entire business to cloud or only several operations is in
question. The increasing role of cloud entails other challenges, for example the need to implement an
array of new job roles. Cloud business solutions will need help from dedicated experts like cloud
architects, cloud systems administrators, cloud security engineers, and other.
How enterprises use different types of cloud computing solutions?
According to IDG, 89 percent of organizations use SaaS somewhere in their
operations. Other models are popular as well, with 73 percent of companies using IaaS and 61 percent
employing PaaS somewhere their operations.
What enterprise cloud computing solutions have the highest demand among companies?
38 percent of respondents of IDG’s 2018 survey say their IT departments are
under pressure of moving key operations to cloud. Forty-six percent of those operations include services
(including financial services), 43 percent need cloud business solutions to implement the latest tech,
while 38 and 37 percent will need to rely on cloud in the healthcare industry and the manufacturing
process, respectively.

The best cloud computing solutions are secure, well integrated into your
operations and do not impede them, as well as allow your business to process the required amount of data
efficiently. As every business uses cloud technology in its own way, the best cloud solutions providers
always cater to the exact needs of their clients.
What is the budget for cloud computing solutions in Enterprises and SMBs?

allocate $889,000. The average budget for cloud computing business solutions has increased by 36
percent, from $1.6 million in 2016 — to 2.2 million in 2018, according to IDG’s report.
How companies choose their partners for cloud computing solutions?
According to IDG’s 2018 cloud survey, 82 percent of decision makers participate
in product demos and trials, 78 percent explore potential partners’ website content, while 74 percent
access reviews and recommendations.
What are the main challenges in implementing cloud business solutions?
According to IDG, companies outline five challenges: finding the right vendor
(47 percent of respondents), security concerns (34 percent), where their data is stored (34 percent),
lack of the right skills need to extract maximum value from cloud investments (31 percent), and
integration concerns (29 percent).
What are the challenges of adopting public cloud computing solutions in Enterprise?
First, companies need to enforce security and compliance by creating policies
as well as abridge their enterprise storages with the chosen public cloud with the help of dedicated
tools. Efficiency is another challenge, as public cloud computing solutions lack some simple
efficiencies like deduplication and compression, which influences the cloud budget significantly. Other
challenges include public cloud’s capability to cover all enterprise needs as well as proper integration
into existing systems.
