For your company to be competitive in today’s fast-paced, online-oriented and highly interconnected global economy, your company must be agile, flexible and able to respond rapidly to changing market conditions. That means, for example, being able to scale seamlessly when transaction-processing demands balloon unexpectedly, or being able to grab storage space on the fly to meet a project’s short-term capacity requirements.
Traditional IT, in which applications are bound to specific physical servers and storage, is proving too rigid for the evolving needs of businesses. Instead, companies need a next-generation style of computing in which highly scalable, dynamic and virtualized resources are available on-demand and only as needed. That’s cloud computing.
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Evaluate your IT infrastructure and the role cloud computing might play for your company.
