Storm Clouds Ahead - A Risk Analysis of Cloud Computing

Date 29 June 2026

Author Team Capacitas

Many organisations are now considering using 'Cloud Computing' offerings to meet their scalability issues, environmental commitments and cost constraints. This could be a risky approach as many important areas of Cloud computing are yet to be fully understood within IT departments; these include the security model, data protection, resilience and transaction performance. Service management aims to provide consistent, reliable and cost-effective ICT services to its customers.

These goals could come under threat as the pressure to adopt Cloud-based services increases unless a thorough understanding of the design and implementation constraints of Cloud computing are understood. Additionally the Cloud business model introduces its own open-ended financial risks to an adopter. This presentation and associated whitepaper will describe a risk analysis of Cloud computing from a Service Management perspective and recommend some mitigation that could be considered to protect adapters.

This presentation was given at the Ovum / Butler Group Strategy Briefing 'Harvesting the Potential of Cloud Computing' in October 2010.
