RECENT CLOUD COMPUTING QUOTE:

"One of the issues surrounding cloud adoption is the data governance requirements a customer may have, and what, if any, controls the cloud provider offers. For example, a financial institution within a jurisdiction such as Switzerland or Australia has regulatory compliance requirements stipulating that customer information must remain within the jurisdiction.

For a large organization, this 'data residency' issue may be enough of a deterrent to adopting a public cloud solution - unless that cloud hovers over their jurisdiction, they must look at on-premise solutions as the only viable alternative.

As more public cloud vendors acknowledge that data residency is a barrier to adoption, they will need to address it if they intend to grow beyond their borders. To those vendors, I say ''Call me - we need to talk.' "
