Group: Cloud Computing, VMware, Virtualization and Enterprise 2.0 Group Discussion: How do you explain cloud computing to your colleagues? I an neither an Infosec nor Cloud expert, but see no reason why encryption could not secure transactions among Private / Hybrid / whatever Clouds. There will no doubt be new models which do not currently exist once the security bogeyman has been put to bed. Lots of companies have contractors on their networks through VPNs as it is, and have been doing this for years to take advantage of cheap labor. BTW, the NIST definition is not "carved in stone" ; The purpose of this publication is to provide the NIST definition of cloud computing. NIST intends this informal definition to enhance and inform the public debate on cloud computing. Cloud computing is still an evolving paradigm. Its definition, use cases, underlying technologies, issues, risks, and benefits will be refined and better understood with a spirited debate by the public and private sectors. This definition, its attributes, characteristics, and underlying rationale will evolve over time. Posted by Jan Klincewicz, MBA
