Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.

10 thoughts on the Cloud• Gartner says "Cloud is a disruptive force and has the potential

for broad long-term impact in most industries"• 75% of those in the cloud will increase their use• Most adopted services: Email, Storage, Web & Collaboration• The industry needs to speak with more clarity about Cloud• The intersection of Cloud, Mobile and Social will transform the

smart enterprises • For buyers there has never been more choice• But picking winners is tougher – who will be around in 3 years?• #1 concern to satisfy still Data Security, Privacy & Sovereignty• Organisations will adopt independent standards to filter ITT’s• The CIO can be more strategic, but needs to watch for the

business units doing their own thing
