The appeal of cloud computing is obvious: ease of use, lower costs, and capacity that’s dynamic and scalable.

The cloud makes it possible for asset managers to handle large and changing volumes of data effectively and economically.


It also can provide data replication and resilience to support business continuity and disaster recovery.


But asset managers have hesitated to embrace the cloud due to concerns about data security and lack of control.


Different cloud structures offer different degrees of security for clients.


Private Public

Private clouds are thought to offer optimal security and control over access.


But private clouds are expensive. You purchase all the infrastructure and software. You pay for all the maintenance.


Public clouds share resources. This enables efficiencies and economies of scale not possible in private clouds.



At the same time, the sharing of resources worries firms about data security.


But no system – public or private – can guarantee 100% invulnerability. That’s why it’s essential to find a cloud vendor with a track record in financial services.


The economic benefits and efficiencies of cloud are too compelling to ignore.
