What Do We Mean by “Cloud?”
• Managed Services…
• The use of a collection of services, applications,
information, and infrastructure comprised of
pools of computing, network, information, and
storage resources.
• Components can be rapidly coordinated,
provisioned, implemented or decommissioned,
and scaled up or down.
• Providing for an on-demand utility-like model of
allocation and consumption…without the
administrative headaches or resources required
