New book explains the benefits of data aware Cloud Services Brokerages and gives tips on how to get started in a clear, easy-to-understand format
London: Liaison Technologies, a global provider of secure cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions, announced recently the availability of “Cloud Services Brokerage for DUMMIES” as a complimentary download. Liaison partnered with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. to publish the Liaison Special Edition, authored by Lawrence C. Miller, CISSP. The publication was developed to help IT professionals better understand the benefits of relying on a Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) to manage the growing complexity of using multiple cloud services, both inside and outside the organisation.
“Cloud Services Brokerage for DUMMIES®” clearly defines a data aware Cloud Services Brokerage, explaining what it is and what it isn’t in simple terms. It also describes the value of using a CSB for data integration services in the cloud and addresses data translation and transformation challenges, connectivity concerns, system scalability, performance planning and Data-as-a-Service. The author gives pointers on how to get started with a CSB and poses five security questions to ask prospective providers during the evaluation process to ensure sensitive data will be appropriately safeguarded.
“The concept of a data aware Cloud Services Brokerage is still new and people want clarity,” said Shana DeLuca, director of Product Management for Security and Cloud Services Integration at Liaison. “We developed the idea for this book to help clear up the misconceptions and explain exactly how a data aware CSB fits into a hybrid IT strategy in a practical, easy-to-understand format.”
