Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). iLink has been leveraging Windows Azure, a Windows-as-a-service platform consisting of the operating system and developer services that can be used to build and enhance Web-hosted applications.
The advent of cloud computing is forcing companies to re-evaluate their IT strategy. The following are a few scenarios in which companies find themselves today with respect to "Cloud Computing" adoption:
- You are an ISV or Enterprise with significant investment in Microsoft Technologies.
- You are trying to find ways to scale-up and scale-down based on user load, ensure high availability and performance by utilizing a world class infrastructure, and streamline your infrastructure and tightly manage your costs
- You want to focus on adding value for your customers as opposed to managing large IT infrastructure and server farms.
- You have heard about cloud computing models such as SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IAS (Infrastructure as a Service), and would like to explore their relevance to your offerings.
- You want to explore how Azure, "Microsoft's Cloud Computing Platform," will impact your existing solution portfolio and IT planning.
- You want to extend your current offerings to the cloud by utilizing the Microsoft skillset that already exists in the company.
