Top Ten Misconceptions about Cloud Computing

Since it is so hard for me to verbalize my fascination with cloud computing and therefore clear up others misconceptions of cloud computing, I thought I'd publish a few key points from the article, Virtual Global Highlights Top Ten Misconceptions about cloud computing.

2. The cloud is not secure. Truth-be-told, in-house systems are often less secure, because they use unproven home-grown security models. Cloud applications developed with cloud platforms use a common security model, which lends additional security from the ground up; and cloud providers will often pay more attention to issues such as physical security and access controls.

6. It’s only for low-end consumer applications. Cloud computing has gained popularity in many consumer areas, but has also gained widespread acceptance in business applications, including productivity suites, online backup and storage, and collaborative environments; with applications of enterprise-class software already being delivered over the cloud.

Ok, that's enough blogging for today. I have real things to do like, studying and homework!
