Compliance and Cloud Computing
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 by Brian Wolff

Rich Miller raises an interesting question in a recent blog post: Can Cloud Computing handle compliance?  He does a good job of summarizing the conversation between Chuck Goolsbee at SearchDataCenter.com and Michael Sheehan from GoGrid.
  
In their conversation they touched on many of the common issues and concerns regarding, security, PCI compliance, infrastructure, software configuration and network deployment. Their discussion also included their opinions surrounding the cloud computing business model.
 
The article is filled with links to more conversations and discussions, all worth reading.  The bottom line: There is a general theme supporting the belief that virtualization can be compliant. At BlueLock we work closely with partners VMware, Shavlik and others to insure a secure, stable and compliant environment for our clients.  We believe this will be an ongoing conversation in our industry being that there are no set compliance "rules" around Cloud Computing.
