What are the characteristics of cloud computing? How is it different from the way IT is delivered today?
In most enterprises, the existing infrastructure is ridden with inefficiencies due to the low utilization rate of resources such as computing and storage. Customers have mostly invested in excess capacity considering the peak demand and thus have traditionally spent in excess of their usage levels. Cloud offers to eliminate these inefficiencies and allows enterprises to migrate to an on-demand utility-based consumption model.
