Content preview from Cloud Computing

As discussed at the beginning of this book, cloud service providers are leveraging virtualization technologies combined with self-service capabilities for computing resources via the Internet. In these service provider environments, virtual machines from multiple organizations have to be co-located on the same physical server in order to maximize the efficiencies of virtualization. Cloud service providers must learn from the managed service provider (MSP) model and ensure that their customers’ applications and data are secure if they hope to retain their customer base and competitiveness. Today, enterprises are looking toward cloud computing horizons to expand their on-premises infrastructure, ...
