Hosting.com’s 2009 Cloud Computing Trends Report addressed Security as the top obstacle that cloud providers needed to address. Over the past year, security measures for cloud hosting users have improved dramatically due to advancements in network, microprocessor and virtualization technologies. They later discussed the sources of confusion as they apply to IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) implementations and then outlines the practices and technologies available to keep clouds safe in the areas where they do have unique vulnerabilities. This will continue to be huge to protect cloud users.
“Clients demanding high levels of application security or regulatory compliance utilize Hosting.com’s Cloud Dedicated solution (single tenant) to store sensitive applications and records and utilize Cloud Enterprise for additional compute resources for non-sensitive assets.
