On Friday I recorded a podcast with SOA expert David Linthicum. David and I discuss the recent article by Bernard Golden The Case Against Cloud Computing published on CIO.com. In that piece, Golden tries to address common objections to cloud computing at enterprises, namely:
- Current enterprise apps can't be migrated conveniently
- Risk: Legal, regulatory, and business
- Difficulty of managing cloud applications
- Lack of SLA
- Lack of cost advantage for cloud computing
