On July 19th, Evolving Solutions was pleased to welcome Forrester Analyst, James Staten, to our annual customer event.  Staten delivered a presentation on Cloud Computing, including the challenges and the benefits.

According to Staten, the biggest challenge with Cloud Computing is understand what it really is. Forrester defines cloud computing as “a standardized IT capability (services, software, or infrastructure) delivered via Internet technologies in a pay-per-use, self-service way.”

Over the next 7 weeks, we will be posting a series of blog posts introducing you to the various types of Cloud Computing:

1. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Iaas)
2. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
3. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
4. Private Clouds
5. Public Clouds
6. Combined Private & Public Clouds
7. Is the Cloud Right for You?

Check back next Wednesday (August 4th) for a post on Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
