Cloud Computing provides users with remote access to IT services and applications. It may include “Software as a Service” (SaaS), where applications are hosted remotely and accessed through a browser or a virtual desktop device, and “Infrastructure as a Service” (IaaS), where server capacity is provided as a shared central facility. Cloud Computing provides users with elastic, scalable and flexible IT capabilities, using on-demand provisioning and pay-as-you-go services. Cloud computing is the next step in the evolution of IT services. We expect continued growth and increased enterprise adoption of Cloud Computing, as well as major shifts in the IT industry, disrupting suppliers and reshaping vendor roles. It is transforming enterprise IT from traditional structures to more nimble, flexible and affordable architectures.
