A quick start guide to cloud computing

Abstract

This Quick Start Guide aims to cut through the industry hype and confusion surrounding cloud computing, create understanding and help executives to select those cloud computing solutions and service providers, if any, that can best improve the way they do business. Technical terms are used where necessary, but the terminology is introduced gradually and a glossary is provided at the rear of the book. If you are involved in directing IT strategy then this book contains tips, tools and checklists that can help you make the right choices for your business and reject ‘solutions’ that fix problems you do not have.
