3. Evaluate the effectiveness of cloud storage | 3.1 Review and evaluate, cloud storage technologies for performance, usability and benefit to the enterprise 3.2 Document and action the required improvements |
Evidence of the ability to:
review the benefits and challenges associated with implementing a cloud storage solution
determine and document the most appropriate cloud storage solutions for the enterprise, and effective strategies for their implementation
review the implementation of a cloud storage strategy, and identify any areas for improvement.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the business types that may have cloud storage requirements
define the current trends and directions in information and communications technology (ICT), and the major industry technology standards used in cloud storage services
analyse the advantages and disadvantages of cloud storage

identify and describe, current industry hardware and software products, and their general features, capabilities and application, especially where applied to cloud storage technologies
define the characteristics of cloud storage that must be included in service level agreements
describe the additional costs that impact on a cloud storage strategy.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the general ICT industry, and include access to:
a site where cloud storage technologies may be used
the cloud storage technologies currently used in industry
service level agreements (SLA) documentation relevant to cloud storage scenarios
documentation detailing work health and safety (WHS) standards, environmental guidelines, and enterprise requirements.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
