- Should I consider moving a portion of my existing traditional Data Center hosting services to the Cloud? If so, which services and what type of Cloud?
- What is the current market pricing in the Twin Cities for hosting services options (Construction, Colocation and Cloud Computing)?
- What new trends should I be addressing in my near, mid and long term Hosting Services Strategy? Are there non-traditional solutions I should be reviewing? What is real and what is hype?
- With new compliance and security regulations, how can I cost effectively ensure my hosting strategy meets the standards? (i.e. PCI-DSS and ARRA/HITECH/HIPAA)
- How do I ensure my hosting strategies align with the business requirements at the appropriate risk level?

July 2009 - St. Jude Medical quoted Aeritae recently on our differentiating factors in the area of Leadership Services. At Aeritae, the difference to us is having individuals with the enterprise business leadership experience versus just project/program (task) managers. A senior executive was quoted as saying “Kudos for leadership, process, communication and partnering with all divisions” of Aeritae staff working at SJM. Yet another example of how Aeritae is the differentiating leader in innovation, balance and performance in IT Organizations.
