PALO ALTO, CA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 30, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In June 2018, the Cloud Credential Council (CCC) was listed as one of the most valuable cloud computing certifications today by CIO.com.

“This is a fantastic endorsement of the CCC portfolio, the quality of our courses and the strength of CCC certifications in the marketplace. A core value of the CCC is to enable digital-ready professionals and organizations. The CCC is supporting this through our portfolio covering Cloud, Big Data, and IoT,” said Mark O’Loughlin, Managing Director of the CCC.

In the latest 2018 State of the Cloud Report ™ by RightScale, it is clear that the cloud is now widely adopted with its usage increasing year-on-year. However, current cloud challenges reported by organizations include:

- Security;
- Managing cloud spend;
- Lack of resources/expertise;
- Governance/control;
- Managing multiple clouds;
- Performance;
- Building a private cloud.

These are significant areas challenging organizations today in their cloud and digital journeys.

According to O’Loughlin, ongoing research by the CCC is showing a similar trend. “We are seeing so many organizations using cloud these days, which is a good and productive development. However, we are also finding that many organizations and their people do not know what cloud really is. They are struggling to put cloud into any real context outside of the technology that underpins cloud. So many people still cannot provide a unified description or definition of what cloud is. Worse still, they cannot put cloud into context in relation to areas such as:

- Cloud characteristics;
- Cloud service models;
- Cloud deployment models;
- Service levels;
- Changing roles;
- Governance;
- Strategy;
- Security.

And that is just a starting point,” said O’Loughlin.
