Demystifying the Cloud: Intro to the Cloud Tiered Architecture
Cloud computing is changing the economics of IT. Many organizations look to the cloud as a potential cost-savings boon by moving internally hosted IT services to external hosting providers. Other IT organizations view the cloud as a potential disaster recovery plan or as on-demand capacity to boost business continuity and customer service levels. But cloud computing suffers from confusion and hype. Multiple definitions, competing vendor offerings, undefined risks, and new business models obscure cloud computing, slowing down adoption. Insightful IT organizations are taking a closer look. In this DCS TeleBriefing, Research Director Drue Reeves will define the cloud, its characteristics, and layout a tiered architecture that brings the cloud into perspective.
