Cloud & Virtualization Essentials
Description:
Cloud computing isn’t about technology. It encompasses new business models and new economic models that deliver exceptional value in just about any marketplace or
industry. As a business model, it uses digital commerce to drive both virtual and physical assets. In doing so, business agility and flexibility becomes as simple as a few
keystrokes. It also provides the ability to deliver services and goods to any unique customer set, even a set with a population of one. In the economic realm, this approach
virtually eliminates the need for business capital while simultaneously ensuring that every business expenditure can have an associated paying customer. Companies
leveraging this business revolution include Uber, Amazon Web Services, Pandora and Air BNB.
