Introduction

  from, choosing a cloud provider is no easy feat.
  Choosing the right cloud service provider for
  your company is much more than visiting the
  prospective cloud vendors website and going

  cloud hosting in India to enhance your business,
  choose a suitable cloud service provider that can
  offer an easily adaptable shared and virtualized
  infrastructure.

History of the Cloud Service Provider
First and foremost, it is very important to
assess the reputation and capabilities of the
cloud service provider. You must consider the
following criteria

• Whether the cloud providers vision and financial
  viability matches your firms business and IT
  objectives?
• Check the track record of service of the cloud
  service provider in the industry marketplace.
• Whether the track record showcases a positive
  record of the cloud providers customer service,
  management and technical support?

Flexibility of the Cloud Provider

• Choose cloud hosting in India that provides
  top-notch availability on service-level
  agreements. Virtually all the cloud providers
  promise 99 system availability on SLAs.
• In order to assess the resiliency of the
  provider, review its uptime and outage history,
  and the overall flexibility of its data recovery
  and data security processes.

Costs Associated

• Since cost is a significant factor when choosing
  a cloud service provider, it certainly should be
  the primary basis for this critical decision.
• Focus on your current and near-future business
  needs and IT objectives and the overall pricing
  structure of a cloud service provider and then
  match the firms objectives to the provider that
  offers you the most apt cloud services in India.

Security and Compliance

• As a decision maker, you should also assess the
  cloud providers security capabilities in areas
  like, anti-malware protection, government and
  industry regulations, role based access control,
  forensic analysis, data encryption mechanisms,
  and identity management.
• In addition to this, you must learn whether the
  cloud service provider participates in and
  complies with the CSAs STAR guidelines.

Conclusion

• Cloud computing has played a considerable role in
  enhancing businesses worldwide, enabling
  businesses to scale the infrastructures they
  actually need. Moreover, it also provides
  flexibility as well as driving operational
  experiences, so that the companies are able to
  respond to any of the issues that might arise.
