Cloud Computing is one of the biggest catalysts of change within the IT Industry. On the one hand, it provides businesses and organizations a way to be more productive, cost-effective, and to reduce the burden of data management. On the other hand, it has struck fear in a large number of networking professionals and systems administrators, due to the misconception that cloud computing will make the environment completely automated and self-functioning, therefore making traditional IT positions redundant. Worse still is the misconception that cloud computing means that there will no longer be any network to manage within the company.
