What are mistakes Organizations Make While Evaluating Cloud?

1. making assumptions about the cloud, without verifying/validating these assumptions
2. making descisions/assessments on perceptions and impressions and not on solid facts
3. Misunderstanding the whole thing about cloud computing and not positioning it correctly within its context 

Take cloud computing as a cost saving tool rather than a performance enhancement and infrastructure optimization tool.

Migrating to cloud without benchmarking the performance of the application on virtualized environment

Hi,

- Assumtions

- Misunderstanding

- Lack of gathered information

- Miking decisions based on wrong facts or collected data.

- Wrong use of evaluation tools

- Wrong management of cloud evaluations (time, resource, cost..).

- No review for final decisions and results of evaluation

- No repeat for evaluation in different scenarios and by different resource.

HTH
