FEATURE INTERVIEW
Cloud Computing I

What is cloud computing? Here, our two presenters try to define cloud computing and what it means for your enterprise. Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Software-as-a-service, and Platform-as-a-service are all explained from the perspective of two people at the heart of these emerging business models in a way that people who don’t quite have their “head in the cloud” can understand. Watch now to get a new handle on what cloud computing can do for you.
