Cloud Tracking - Is Your Data Where It Needs To Be?

As enterprises are increasingly turning to cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) as a means to a more profitable end, it appears that some are finding themselves between a rock and a soft place. The unbending realities of privacy legislation and compliance are becoming a growing concern in a world of "boundaryless" data services.

Despite all the economic and productivity advantages that cloud and SaaS can bring to today's enterprises, questions are being raised around data that have rarely been asked before. As more companies become familiar with the data cloud, they are also coming to the realization that in many cases, boundaries do matter. One particular point of concern is the physical location of data in hosted and/or managed services data centers.
