Moving to a model that utilizes the cloud is a huge proposition. You can throw some applications out there without looking back \u2013 if they have no ties to the corporate datacenter and light security requirements, for example \u2013 but most applications require quite a bit of work to make them both mobile and stable. Just connections to the database raise all sorts of questions, and most enterprise level applications require connections to DC databases.
\nBut these are all problems people are talking about. There are ways to resolve them, ugly though some may be. The problems that will get you are the ones no one is talking about. So of course, I\u2019m happy to dive into the conversation with some things that would be keeping me awake were I still running a datacenter with a lot of interconnections and getting beat up with demands for cloudy applications.<\/p>\n
