Data (and Privacy), Regulations, Compliance, Security and Policies are the key to any Future Enabled State and for that matter, any cloud transformation. How do we factor in data, security, compliance, regulatory and policies factors into an integrated cloud solution?
So what is Dr. CSP?
I thought it right to device an acronym for Data, Privacy and Regulations/Compliance. A gamut of policies, procedures and processes need to be updated along with change to organizational culture for understanding and adopting the impacts and implications. Data (and Privacy), Regulations, Compliance, Security and Policies (DR. CSP). What should we do to get this right? Often, while providing proposal, we just talk about cloud migration. Alas, migration is not a lone isolated event; it has to factor in all dimensions of transformation. The acronym is simple, any Cloud Service Provider (even we can be counted in as CS), should be DR. CSP. It may be mean to those who have fantastic memory but without being a DR. CSP, we are unlikely to resonate with the customer.
Yes, Data is number one. It is the ultimate asset of an organization. Data, Data and Data – the key enabler or a bane for emerging Future Enabled State. According to Network Asia, “By 2024, 90 percent of the G1000 organizations will mitigate vendor lock-in through multi and hybrid cloud technologies by using technologies such as containers and data fabric, these organizations will be able to flexibly and easily move workloads across environments while having full control over them”.
According to the same report, Bank of America, for example, is using containers for app testing and development. By doing so, the bank’s developers and infrastructure staff are able to focus on high-value work instead of managing middleware systems and messaging buses, which do not generate revenue for the bank. Despite the benefits of hybrid and multi-cloud, they will not be the default IT architecture for smaller organizations. This is because data itself can be far less portable than compute and application resources, which affects the portability of runtime environments. Moreover, some cloud services may be exclusive to a particular cloud provider, which means that those services cannot be ported to other environments”.
Integrated solution is a key while resonating with customer already in cloud or those intending to migration to cloud. Providing an encapsulation and governance mechanism to critical enablers such as data, regulations, security, compliance and policies will drive success to the future enabled cloud state.
