Cloud computing offers near-immediate value for clients, but its full potential will be realized as a

platform for new, innovative solutions. After helping their clients adopt cloud models appropriately,

providers should help them establish cloud services as a basis for next-generation solutions.

processes to fully unleash the potential of cloud-based solutions.

■ Take a "cloud first" philosophy for solution delivery, leveraging

cloud computing's strengths of standardization, scale, distribution

and cost-efficiency to deliver new solutions using the cloud as a

foundation.

Impacts

the nature of the solutions IT services providers must deliver to their

customers.

Striking a balance with the

Hybrid cloudNew to Cloud? Take the

Cloud First approach

Cloud and security

Public and private clouds are a reality

today and organizations need to

consider solutions that can integrate

these clouds and make use of them for

their business advantage. As the

technology will keep evolving in this

area, hybrid cloud adoption will

continue to grow.

First time adopters need the right

guidance and complete support when it

comes to the move to the cloud. The

clear benefit of the hybrid cloud

architecture lies in its flexibility and

inherent ability to be structured exactly

the way clients want it. This makes it

easier for enterprises to make the first

move towards the cloud.

Hybrid cloud is basically an

amalgamation of private and public

cloud and offers the benefits of multiple

deployment models. The Cloud gives

organizations the flexibility to put their

workloads and data where it makes

most sense, whilst addressing data

security, governance, compliance and

budgetary challenges.
