What Happens When You Move to the Public Cloud?

Cloud computing clearly offers some very attractive benefits for significant elements of an enterprises business. Many companies have made the move (generally in-part) to the public cloud; Moving major parts of their application stack to Amazon, Microsoft, and others, reducing their in-house data centers, moving from a mainly capital expense to a mainly operation expense IT model. Most companies though have placed limits on what part of their business have moved to the public cloud, some choosing to engage in private and hybrid clouds where they can continue to host secure elements of their application stack in ways that are more controlled from a privacy and security point of view.

Having some of the application stack in the public cloud and some in private environments often leads to a fracturing of the way that the entire application stack can be monitored, with the public cloud elements using solutions that look mainly at java-based applications, and struggling to monitor legacy databases, applications, platforms, and middleware. And the complexity of monitoring across demilitarized/security zones between private and public IT environments is often beyond the experience of recently hatched monitoring companies, and they don't see the potential return on making this kind of a technology investment.
