Introduction
Think about when you hit a busy season and need extra vehicle capacity. It’s fast and easy to increase capacity by leasing – you simply make a call and a truck appears for the specified term. There’s no need to go truck shopping and approve a capital expenditure for an asset that will sit, unused, for nine months out of the year. You will see that the same basic principles apply to the cloud.
The cloud in today’s world consists of two things that cannot live without each other:
- Software as a service (SaaS), where software
resides on the Internet, and - Computing infrastructure, such as servers and
storage.
