•     Changing the very shape of modern computing and the Internet itself, Cloud Computing is a relatively new technology that can be defined in a number of different ways. At its core, however, it just means "running your applications on infrastructure other than your own."
•     Computing in the cloud makes many different solutions available to you. Both the tasks and the methods used to achieve them can be quite varied. You might need full infrastructure or perhaps just a back-end to build your application with -- or maybe you just need one narrowly focused service. These needs, as outlined, actually map exactly the three main service levels available with cloud computing.

    Level 1: Software as a Service; when you just need a tool
    Level 2: Platform as a Service; when you want to develop an application yourself
    Level 3: Infrastructure as a Service; when you want full control

• Many organizations aiming to become higher-performing by improving service delivery and customer experiences are considering adopting cloud services. If IT can achieve  the following, then the impact on business outcomes will be dramatic:
•     Increased agility – able to deliver  new IT capabilities faster
•     Efficiencies resulting in cost savings
•     Innovation in IT delivery
•     Higher speed to market
•     More rapid provisioning of services, applications, capabilities and resources to support business and IT transformation and change, and better services to customers
•     Moving from a capital expenditure (CAPEX) model to an operational expenditure (OPEX) model
•     Greater elasticity of infrastructure.
