Cloud Computing

Gained significant traction as a ‘Concept’ but not a reality in the Enterprise… yet

Very few Enterprises will build their own cloud due to TCO.

Why is Cloud Computing interesting for Enterprises?

Lowering Capital and Operational Costs Business Agility and efficiency

Challenges

Ownership of the Cloud Regulating the Cloud Security for your mission Critical Applications housed in the Cloud

In Reality only few companies can support a Cloud Computing Environment.

Companies will mix and match the right cloud/ internet technologies depending on factors such as application design, complexity, business value etc..

What is needed for Cloud Computing to be a reality ?

Important things to look for in a Cloud Computing Service

Security Compliance Support SLA Location of Data Global performance

Akamai has already built a business cloud infrastructure that offers SLA’s for SaaS and Application Acceleration today and will be leveraged by Cloud Computing vendors as they emerge.
