Cloud Computing Explained
|
Cloud Computing Explained provides an overview of Cloud Computing in an
enterprise environment. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm around
cloud-based solutions and services as well as the cost-savings and flexibility
that they can provide. It is imperative that all senior technologists have a
solid understanding of the ramifications of cloud computing since its impact is
likely to permeate the entire IT landscape. However, it is not trivial to
introduce a fundamentally different service-delivery paradigm into an existing
enterprise architecture.
This book describes the benefits and challenges of Cloud Computing and then
leads the reader through the process of assessing the suitability of a
cloud-based approach for a given situation, calculating and justifying the
investment that is required to transform the process or application, and then
developing a solid design that considers the implementation as well as the
ongoing operations and governance required to maintain the solution in a
partially outsourced delivery model.
