Challenges – Latency & Stability
• Not as fast as on-premise• How to move massive amounts of data• Scaling up for performance• Coding for Failure• What if my provider goes away?

Opportunities – New Projects
• Prototyping, proof of concepts• Start in cloud, move to on-premises when ready• If it fails, not left with excess capacity• Speed to market rapidly increased

Opportunities – Multitenant Solutions
• No costly re-architecting• Rapidly scale out with multiple silos• Isolate costs for each tenant• Geo-locate solution close to client
