Impact of service level agreements on a manufacturing organization
Managing a service level agreement (SLA) is a continuous process and should be constantly monitored, updated, and improved to meet the business needs of the manufacturing organization.
Software and data security compliance responsibility in the cloud
Software and data security and regulatory compliance in the cloud should not be taken for granted because security in the cloud is often intangible and less visible, which may create anxiety about what data and software applications are actually secured and controlled.
Cloud deployment model risks for manufacturers
It's important for manufacturing organizations to know what to expect in terms of controls and security risks with cloud deployment models.
Cloud computing service model, control, and security risks
Cloud computing promises better and more efficient usage of resources and virtually unlimited scalability and greater flexibility, but they also carry a number of technical and business risks that manufacturers need to be aware of.
Cloud service models and responsibilities
Manufacturing organizations choosing to use cloud services must specify requirements for their software applications and data that satisfies the needs of their business processes.
The importance of cloud security
Moving to the cloud still provides many challenges for manufacturing organizations to overcome, but smooth transition is possible and definitely without fear provided companies take security seriously.
Cloud computing challenges and fears for manufacturers
Cloud computing is changing the world of manufacturing, but many companies are concerned about visibility and security when it comes to their information and security.
Educating users and companies on the cloud and its applications
Manufacturing organizations are responsible to provide the right education about clouds and they need to ensure that training is available to employees on cloud computing infrastructures and services.
Choosing between PaaS and SaaS models for cloud service
Platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) each have unique benefits for companies looking to expand to the cloud. PaaS is targeted to cloud service customers (CSC) who wants to create, test and deploy applications whereas SaaS is focused on end users looking for minimized hardware and software setup costs.
The cloud and infrastructure as a service
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is the most widespread cloud service model used by manufacturing organizations and is designed to allow users to store business and production data, or deploy and run software applications just like they would do on traditional, on-premises infrastructures.
Frequently asked questions about private, public, community, and hybrid clouds from manufacturers
There are four kinds of clouds for manufacturers—public, private, community, and hybrid—and each comes with specific benefits.
Picking the right cloud model for a manufacturing organization
The cloud offers many potential benefits for manufacturing organizations, but certain companies might require a specific type of cloud network, depending on their overall needs.
The future of cloud computing
Future cloud computing benefits include optimized resource utilization, better responsiveness, faster innovation cycles, and a better platform for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Cloud computing and virtualization
Many of the technologies and services associated with cloud computing such as virtualization already exist, but they are being implemented in new ways to provide dynamic, scalable, and virtualized computing infrastructure, platforms, and software.
Five characteristics of cloud computing
Cloud computing's characteristics and benefits include on-demand self-service, broad network access, and being very elastic and scalable.
Manufacturing industry reaps cloud computing benefits
Cloud computing is designed to revolutionize the way manufacturing organizations implement information systems and manage critical production and business processes.
