A cloud is a powerful combination of cloud computing, networking, storage, management solutions, and business applications that facilitate a new generation of IT and consumer services.
These services are available on demand and are delivered economically without compromising security or functionality.
We are moving to an interconnected "world of many clouds". This will give people access to services any time, on any device, anywhere in the world.
To take full advantage of cloud computing, enterprises need to evolve their IT strategy to achieve greater business value through the improved cost-savings and productivity that cloud services offer. Service providers need to offer and monitor cloud computing services to serve their customers even more effectively while improving profitability.
