You need to classify your data. Privacy considerations come into play. How much data do you have ? Do you need PCI Dss compliance for credit card data retention ? And evaluate whether a public cloud, private cloud or hybrid cloud is the best option. Also getting people you will need to map skills roles responsibilities. Best approach is to estimate based on analogous method. How are your competitors operating ? How much staff do they have ?

In cloud , you may lose control on privacy , this is the risk

 

i guess u need to invest in building privacy policies if you chose to get cloud

it depends on the company's needs, and the Data Center prices, if I went to cloud and they start increasing the prices every contract renewal, I will think twice.. in addition to the main issue in my oppenion.. which is (support) if their suuport handles my issues perfectly with the lowest down time.. I'll be happy to be in cloud..

but I think for the startup companies, it will be the easier choce..

about feeling risk.. no I don't.. because the need will trnsfer from the end user to the ISP.. so no worries about it

Cloud (virtualization) is the coming technology which will save space and money for your server room and will be managed easy than manage physically Servers.

Backup and restore will be easy and in just minutes inn case of failure

in my point if view, the best cloud systems is VMWare i have worked with it more than4 years and it is perfect in managing, backup and restore.

Cloud may be able to answer what you require but the information provided is not enough to really make a decission. The exact requirements of any particular business must be analysed in depth before taking any decision. 

 

There is no doubt in cloud being the technology of choice of the future but you first need to know exactly what you are looking to achieve with it. There are multiple types of Cloud (IAAS, PAAS, SAAS etc) with multiple hosting option (private, public, hybrid). 

 

Regardless of any model you choose, it essentially changes the way it IT is managed, everything is a service when it comes to cloud. it is recommanded that you write down your requirements and then map them to your required soloution which may or may not be cloud.

I believe to have private cloud for critical data and application to maintain business continuity with lower the operational cost. while you can have hybrid or public cloud for non critical application and data.

Risk factor is higher for data privacy and what will happen if your subscription is finish or you don't want to renew then data privacy will be question mark.
