Since Amazon launched EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) which triggered the worldwide phenomenon which we see as Cloud Computing today, Mainframe's experts claim there is nothing new to Cloud Computing and they have been doing it for 40 years now i.e. a Mainframe runs multiple Virtual Operating Systems on physical hardware which in essence is a Cloud in a Box. Traditional Datacenter operators pitch their services in the guise of Cloud Computing offerings. Today 5 years after the Cloud Computing market leader Amazon started it seems everyone is into Cloud Computing and trying to capitalize on it. Cloud Computing revenues are projected to reach $149Bn by 2014 of which >50% will be from SaaS. This report helps our clients cut through the Cacophony and presents Cloud Computing in a structured fashion on which customers can base their Cloud Computing strategy. This report is all that you will need to assess the phenomenon of Cloud Computing and create a Goto Cloud Strategy or if you are already in the game, will help you reassess your strategy with a fresh perspective.
