Alsbridge: Cloud Computing: The Oregon Trail of Today

The cloud computing industry is growing fast and furiously. Here's how companies can pick the best service for their business.

3/8/2011
Cloud computing is one of the more recent developments in the high-tech industry. Rather than storing data in a specific, physical location, information is hosted on networked, virtual servers.

In a recent white paper, Alsbridge compares today's cloud computing market to "Colorado in the 1800's, [where] every person is for themselves and they will either strike it rich or die trying." Companies provided cloud services are multiplying and the playing field is growing crowded and confused.

Alsbridge provides guidance for companies seeking to utilize cloud services. With its recommendations for potential cloud service providers and user advice, companies can make decisions about cloud computing that best suit their business.
