Since cloud computing entered the IT scene, there has been a fear that ‘normal’ IT tasks, and the people doing them, will be deemed unnecessary. This is simply not true.
But what about cloud
computing’s promise that it will cut costs? Sure there will be fewer servers
(virtualisation and cloud computing effectively make more use of computing
resources), but there will still be a need for IT professionals. When a company
decides to make use of on-site private cloud, it means that the IT department
of the company will most likely be responsible for the setup and management of
the servers.
It is time to know the
truth about cloud servers and applications. Cloud servers will not
automatically do a backup themselves. You will need to ask your providers to do
so, do it yourself, or take the risk of losing all your information. Security
is another issue. While a cloud provider might offer you a virtual server, it
might not have the necessary protection against all the threats in the cyber
world. This means that you will still need an IT person (the systems
administrator (cloud architect) most likely) managing the cloud server.
Cloud applications
need to be managed to make sure that backups are made regularly, users can
access their accounts and that passwords are strong enough so that sensitive
data will be safe from outside threats. Therefore it is crucial that IT people
manage the cloud application environment. Any company will feel better about
the fact that their data is still in the hands of their own IT departments, no
matter where or on what that specific data is stored.
It is thus clear that
cloud computing will not destroy IT jobs or departments, but it will definitely
bring changes to the roles of the people in IT departments. The cloud actually
needs the ‘assistance’ from IT people to straighten out the bumps that are
created by people rushing to the cloud and to do this, new skills will be
needed.
You are responsible
for your own fortune. Instead of fearing the cloud, embrace it. Take the
necessary action to up your game (skills) to find your place in the cloud
computing movement.
