Microsoft Corp. and other vendors, the Federal Trade Commission is examining
potential threats to consumer privacy and data security posed by cloud
computing.

Is compliance in the cloud possible?
There is no doubt that cloud computing is dominating today's IT conversation
among C-level security executives. Whether it's due to the compelling cost
saving possibilities in a tough economy, or because of perceived advantages in
provisioning flexibility, auto-scaling, and on-demand computing, CSOs are
probing the capabilities, costs and restrictions of the cloud. At the same time,
security and compliance concerns are at the forefront of issues potentially
holding large enterprises back from capitalizing on the benefits that cloud
computing has to offer.

Ensuring acceptable application delivery will become even more difficult over
the next few years. As a result, IT organizations need to ensure that the
approach that they take to resolving the current application delivery challenges
can scale to support the emerging challenges. This handbook elaborates on the
key tasks associated with planning, optimization, management and control and
provides decision criteria to help IT organizations choose appropriate
solutions.
