* So what is really different about cloud computing? A tradition enterprise tends to pull together resources and deploy them in support of a business function workload on project at a time, or in silos. The resources are dedicated to the workload and are unable to support other workloads where they could be leveraged as added support. Cloud computing on the other hand leverages a pooled resources environment that uses virtualization in order for the physical assets to support multiple workloads. In order to drive efficiency of the delivery to enable the self-service, self-management of cloud computing requires standardization of the assets (hw, sw, delivery) as well as automation. This is what delivers a responsive end user experience. So from the end users point of view it is elastic in scalability, accessible from any device, anywhere, any time, and if charged pay only for what they use during the time they are using it. From a provider’s perspective its about an environment of highly virtualized resources that are location independent and have automated service management to handle provisioning, de-provisioning, change management, security and overall environment controls. * * So how are real clients realizing benefits from the cloud? We’ve compiled here a list of the ways that clients are telling us they’ve been able to see real, tangible results from their cloud delivered implementations. Why can a cloud environment have this kind of effect? The key is that the cloud is based on three essential fundamentals: it’s standardized, it’s virtualized and it’s automated. That’s how you can provide scalable services. That’s the way you’re going to see efficiency. And that’s the way you’re going to drive down costs and improve service. That’s really a pretty simple equation, and we are seeing clients that are doing this achieve very real, measurable business results. For example: Virtualization of IT resources—servers, storage, networks and applications—are po
