The cloud model is animated by a set of Internet technologies for juggling computing workloads in data centers far more efficiently than in the past — potentially reducing costs by about half, analysts say.

Cloud...... is it right for my business?
Does this describe what you want from IT in your
business?
• I want to reduce the cost and complexity of my IT
• I want my IT provision viewed as a business service rather than core overhead function
• I only want to pay for what I use
• I am open to expert external IT service provision
• IT should serve the business, not vice versa
