Cloud services are here to stay

“Cloud” has become the umbrella term for many areas of IT delivery, Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Whatever your own definition of the “Cloud”, we do know that it means the move away from the end user owning and managing IT assets to consuming IT as a service. Many different business models are evolving and continue to do so. With the availability of cheaper more reliable connectivity and bandwidth, the development of hardware and software to be internet optimised and the growth of consumer cloud services such as IPhone and Android applications and Facebook, there is a sea change happening in the IT industry.

The large super vendors such as Microsoft, Google, VMware and IBM are investing heavily to ensure that they have a

place in the cloud and this pulls along the rest of the industry.

At ground level, within this disruption, the end-user customers are looking to IT resellers for good advice. The macro economic climate has also driven change pushing organisations to review capital investments and operational costs.
