Common Cloud Management Challenges Faced By Enterprises

Needless to mention, cloud computing comes with a volley of benefits like lower operational costs, ease of deploying and management coupled with the flexibility to scale while meeting the constant demands of availability and performance. On the flip side, there are certain challenges that enterprises are wary about, dissuading them to adopt a cloud platform.

Some of the concerns are enlisted below which are preventing them to get on to the bandwagon of satisfied cloud users.

• Concerns Over Privacy and Security

Topping the list of concerns is the issue connected to data security and confidentiality. This is the case majorly with essential services being outsourced to a third party. The concerns of data security crop up when the third party cannot guarantee the integrity and privacy of your data along with its inability to vouch for its compliance.

• Trade-Off Between Actual Benefits and Business Goals

There are umpteen instances that demonstrate the benefits of cloud implementations. However, on the other side, enterprises are constantly looking at ways and means to derive the best out of the cloud investment. Extracting the complete potential of a cloud while aiming to integrate it as a main segment of their IT portfolio is the top most priority of enterprises.

Basically talking about return on investment (ROI), enterprises are constantly scouting for affordable solutions that will register improvements attached to quality, time, cost and profitability. Lack of such indicators in the cloud ROI model is making organizations shy away from the cloud platform.

• Quality of Service  

Another important challenge that is discouraging managements to operate via cloud is the unanimous opinion that SLAs provided by cloud service providers aren’t enough to ensure the smooth functioning of their respective businesses. Quality of service offered by cloud providers is linked to three important factors including availability, scalability and performance. Cloud providers who refund the enterprises when the cloud service is shut cannot be helpful in redressing business losses that arise out of cloud downtime.

• Bandwidth is a Major Concern

The current scenario with cloud providers is that they operate with an insufficient network bandwidth. This poses serious issues to organizations marring their performance on the network. Their hands are tied when complex services should be delivered via a platform that offers inadequate bandwidth.

• Integrating With Existing Applications

While a cloud based platform offers greater flexibility in meeting the technological and business objectives of an enterprise, cloud management can be cumbersome with many applications that demand complex integration requirements. The task of integrating existing cloud applications with the already functional enterprise applications and data structures is a serious concern.

There can be instances when different departments in organizations use different cloud platforms in a multi-cloud organization. Thus, it is very important that cloud providers should help businesses integrate all their data on two clouds through simple and affordable means.

With all these issues enlisted, it is the need of the hour for cloud management enterprises to come up with easy and purse-friendly mechanisms that can offer the benefits of cloud to all the IT-enabled business enterprises.
