What is cloud - Definitions
Research firm IDC describes cloud computing as "an emerging IT
development, deployment and delivery model, enabling real-time
delivery of products, services and solutions over the Internet.“
Analyst firm Gartner defines the new technology pitch phrase as "a style
of computing where scalable and elastic IT enabled capabilities are
provided 'as a service' to external customers using Internet
technologies."
Analyst firm THINKstrategies defines cloud computing as “a set of webbased tools and services, which permit users to acquire computing
resources and development capabilities to build or support applications,
or perform specific IT functions on a pay-as-you-go basis.”

When have I found a provider?
Its like picking a bank
• You’re trusting your IP to them
• What level of security do they have?
• Do they have the services you need?
• What about fees?
What about SLA’s?
• What is it worth to you?
