there're tons of technologies out there and cloud computing is one of them.
just like there're numerous makes of cars and "bettles" is one of them.
one paticular car/make (for instance, rav4/toyota) may be good for buyer a
but probably not suitable for buyer b; same theory applies to cloud
computing.
basically, there're two targeted potential users/companies. one is sme (who
either cannot afford or not willing to "own"/build/maintain infrastructure);
the other is service-oriented companies (bigger or smaller, such as netflex
, youtube, or marketing/CRM/DRM companies, etc.)
cloud computing consumer companies (CCCC) don't own (or don't have, if they'
re startups) infrastructural facilities, rather, they lease "computing power
" from cloud computing companies. cccc has to negotiate a sla besides prices
($$$/user or $$$/gb or whatever terms negotiated between two parties). sla
is very important and cccc definitely need a decent professional lawyer for
that.
