Securing your Journey to the Cloud
So you’re looking to the cloud for greater flexibility and less cost. Welcome. You’re joining progressive companies everywhere. But your journey to the cloud will be unique to your business. You might start by evolving your data center, with steps such as consolidating physical servers, virtualising servers, and determining what type of cloud implementation best suits your business objectives—private, public, or hybrid. Or you might take the route of embracing consumerisation in your workplace—consolidating physical endpoint security, virtualising your desktops, and deploying cloud-based applications and security to enable your mobile devices to have safe and consistent access to your business data.

Trend Cloud Security Blog
The Trend Cloud Security Blog is dedicated to the discussion of cloud computing security issues. Enterprises are aggressively pursuing virtualisation and cloud computing because of the benefits it affords: reduction of IT costs, increased flexibility, greater scalability, etc. Equally important, however, is IT security. In this blog we strive to address the challenges presented to infrastructure security and provide a framework for evaluating cloud security – both security for the cloud and cloud-based security.

How the Cloud Is Transforming IT
In a business world where first movers gain the advantage and IT is central to every decision, IT responsiveness and agility provide a competitive edge. Yet many IT organisations aren’t quick enough on the uptake because their infrastructures are exorbitant to manage and too complex to easily adapt.
Cloud computing provides a vastly more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective way for IT to meet escalating business needs: IT as a Service. VMware offers you an evolutionary and practical path to this new model, with solutions that harness the power of the Cloud while ensuring security and preserving the value of your existing technology investments.

"You would be hard pushed to find a public sector organisation that hasn't virtualised to some level. Anywhere, anytime, on any device virtualisation and cloud computing will move forward in the public sector and we are seeing enormous take up."
Andy Tait Head of Public Sector Strategy at VMware
"At many companies, virtualisation is already a proven way to cut costs and increase efficiency – it's a mature technology now. For those companies that are thinking ahead – and frankly, more should be doing this – the real challenge is to build on what they have today for further cost and efficiency gains."
