Users • simply log on through a website or

software application as usual• use resources as needed, when

needed IT Managers

• focus on enterprise IT applications, not supporting hardware infrastructure

• have access to automatic scaling, updating, backup, availability

Enterprises • only pay for what is used• operating expense tied to lines of

business rather than large capital expenditures

What is Cloud Computing?

Just like a utility – Turn on the tap when needed – off when not

Less Expensive, Superior Solution

The current market for cloud services is $46.4 billion. By 2013, the market will reach $150.1 billion - Gartner Group.

By 2011, early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and instead purchase 40 percent of their IT infrastructure as a service - Gartner Group.

By 2013, 12 percent of the world software market will be Internet-based form of SaaS and Cloud Computing - Merrill Lynch.
