Description
Enterprise businesses are rediscovering the benefits of outsourcing their application infrastructure to a service provider. Bandwidth limitations, latency, security, and privacy are just some of the inhibitors that have slowed wide-spread adoption of cloud computing. With advances in virtual private networks and data center management those inhibitors are disappearing, and organizations are transforming their IT practices to embrace cloud computing. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is a viable option for many enterprise applications, while small and medium-sized businesses can enjoy the same benefits as large enterprises. This report looks at the transition of enterprise applications to the cloud and provides scenarios of how this transformation will impact business telecommunications services, such as VPNs, Ethernet services, and hosting services.
