Computer Science Wolfson Building Parks Road OX1 3QD** Cloud: blessing or curse? */Challenges in building a real, large hybrid cloud/* Dr. Evangelos Kotsovinos Head of Cloud Computing Strategy Morgan Stanley * * Cloud computing is often touted as the solution to many challenging problems, from overprovisioning and resource underutilization to data-center optimization and carbon emission reduction. However, the hidden costs of cloud, largely stemming from the complex and difficult system administration challenges it poses, are often overlooked. Reaping the fruits of cloud computing requires the enterprise to adopt new infrastructure design paradigms, re-architect applications, navigate scalability limitations, revamp traditional operational practices, aggressively manage performance, and achieve unprecedented cross-silo collaboration. Cloud is not a curse: it can bring material benefits, but only to the prepared. At Morgan Stanley, solving complex challenges and fuelling economic growth across continents is what we do. We offer you a career path to success, providing you with the training, mobility and responsibility to make a real difference.
