Beware of Cloud Computing Myths
by: Shahid N. Shah
Tuesday September 22, 2009
The cloud is being discussed everywhere today – and it’s a great offering that almost every government agency and commercial firm is at least thinking about. However, there are lots of myths and untruths about cloud computing that need to be dispelled so that executives and technical team members alike can make proper decisions. The cloud is not going to take over the world and there’s no such thing as “ubiquitous computing” yet. Shahid, an expert in networking and cloud technologies, will discuss what clouds are and aren’t and dispel some of myths and discuss real security and performance issues of the cloud. As an architect for OMB, he is also familiar with the government’s general direction on cloud computing and will share some information on what’s already available in the public domain.
Shahid is an expert at discovering practical technology solutions to real-world business initiatives, especially in the government, healthcare and financial services industries. His expertise includes standards development, enterprise architecture analysis and design, interoperability planning, legacy modernization, and related work. He’s worked at NIH on standards, Executive Office of the President (White House) and OMB on helping define the needs for standards, and at various commercial healthcare firms like Cardinal Health and COMSYS. In addition to working with C-Suite executives he continues to help engineering teams with architecture and development advice.
He is an influential thought leader and a winner of Federal Computer Week's coveted "Fed 100" award given to IT experts that have made a big impact in the government and runs three successful blogs. At http://shahid.shah.org he writes about architecture issues, at http://www.healthcareguy.com he provides valuable insights on how to apply technology in health care, at http://www.federalarchitect.com he advises senior federal technologists, and at http://www.hitsphere.com he gives a glimpse of the health-care IT blogosphere as an aggregator.
