5 5 Cloud Computing Misconceptions Misconception 1: The Cloud Is One-Size-Fits-All or only targeted to small or medium sized organisations Cloud computing can offer services for any organisation regardless of size. Consider products such as salesforce.com or Google docs. Misconception 2: The Cloud Is risky and Not a safe place to store my data x There is a strong argument to say that cloud is even safer. Most organisations that provide cloud solutions such as SAP ensure their data centres are SAS70 Type I and Type II Certified, if you couple this with products such as SAP Afaria, your data is as safe as it can be. Is your current data centre SAS70 certified? Do you currently reports? Misconception 3: ROI is too low and TCO is too high x Most cloud solutions cut capital expenditure in infrastructure and support and moves to an operating expense. Most solutions see an immediate return: lower cost, higher availability, better security and more stable and accessible environment. x

6 5 Cloud Computing Misconceptions Misconception 4: I don t know where my data will be stored Most cloud companies including SAP can tell you exactly where you data is stored including where your back-ups are stored.
