5. What is this cloud thing anyway?

6. Definitions – Cloud Computing is:Providing IT resources, as a service, in a dynamic and scalable manner over a network

7. Five essential characteristics of the Cloud*:

8. On-demand self-service

9. Broad network access

10. Resource pooling

11. Rapid elasticity

12. Measured service*National Institute Of Standards and Technology v155

13. Why the Cloud?Cloud computing is delivering new capabilities to the IT Industry. Elastic computing that expands and contracts as you require enables organizations to deploy new innovative business solutions, often at a lower cost than traditional on-premise hardware solutions.Microsoft’s cloud offerings build on familiar proven Windows technology and can be deployed both on-premise (“private cloud") or hosted services (“public cloud”).

14. What’s the Difference?Public cloud solutions allow organizations to reduce capital costs and free up IT staff to concentrate on delivering greater business value. Private cloud solutions enable organizations to drive more efficiency and flexibility out of their existing IT investment. With the cloud, IT becomes the enabler to new business solutions and not the barrier.
