Cloud computing

Reduce costs. Improve service delivery. Enable business innovation.

Improve response times, reduce cost

Two legacy computing models continue to dominate information technology - the time-tested centralized mainframe model, and the more recent client-server model. Now a third model - cloud computing has evolved to address the explosive growth of Internet-connected devices, data, and increasing complexity of technology.

Cloud computing has the potential to make enormous improvements, such as:

Reduce IT labor cost by 50% in configuration, operations, management and monitoring.
Improve capital utilization by 75%, significantly reducing license costs.
Reduce provisioning cycle times from weeks to minutes.
Improve quality, eliminating 30% of software defects.
Reduce end user IT support costs by up to 40%.
