Technology media company TechTarget, Inc., US, has launched two new websites designed to bring needed information to technology buyers who are researching cloud versions of storage solutions and how to manage compliance and security in the cloud. These new sites - SearchCloudSecurity.com and SearchCloudStorage.com - build on the Company's existing portfolio of cloud and virtualisation media by targeting the specific areas of cloud computing that are experiencing the most rapid growth and are in need of the most resources.
They will complement the existing properties in the TechTarget cloud and virtualisation portfolio which include SearchCloudComputing.com, SearchServerVirtualization.com, SearchVirtualDesktop.com, SearchVirtualStorage.com, BrianMadden.com, and the BriForum conference.
TechTarget first launched cloud and virtualisation media in 2006, when the technology was first emerging. Over the last 6 months, the TechTarget network has experienced an 80 percent increase in cloud computing related research activities. In a recent survey, 50 percent of respondents reported plans to implement new cloud solutions this year, however security and compliance concerns continue to be a top barrier to adoption. Additionally, 46 percent of the audience survey is either using or considering cloud storage services in 2011.
Cloud storage is a data storage strategy that involves sending a copy of a company's data to an off-site storage server, frequently hosted by a third-party service provider. SearchCloudStorage.com provides market news, product analysis and practical advice on choosing and managing cloud storage solutions, including public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, cloud backup and disaster recovery.
SearchCloudSecurity.com is a top resource for information security professionals who have a strategic or operational role in their enterprise's cloud computing initiatives. The site provides news and technical content on securing many types of cloud computing deployment models and challenges, including: software as a service (SAAS), infrastructure as a service (IAAS), platform as a service (PAAS), security operations in the cloud, risk management, data governance and compliance.
After maintaining compliance and developing a disaster recovery plan, the Survey found that securing the cloud is expected to see the largest spending increase in the next year.
