A weighted scorecard (show in Table 1 and also provided on the web page as download) can help companies decide between cloud computing and virtualization for particular projects. Here are five factors that can tip the scales.

 

1. CAPACITY: Can your provider accommodate fluctuations in storage and capacity requirements and provide an outlet for spikes in demand?

 

2. SECURITY: Ask yourself, "Is this a capability that 1 can trust to place in the hands of an external service provider?"

 

3. DISASTER RECOVERY: Find out what types of backup alternatives a vendor offers for your particular application or data.

 

4. VENDOR HEALTH: Research whether a vendor is likely to remain stable in today's highly volatile economic climate and how you'll be compensated for performance shortfalls.

 

5. PERFORMANCE: What are the details of a vendor's service level agreement, and what is the provider's track record in meeting that commitment?
