Cloud computing is fundamentally changing the way we do business – from strategic planning to how services are delivered. We’ve been actively tracking these changes on our channel ReadWriteCloud and this report is an extension of that.

The Future of the Cloud highlights cloud computing’s impact on IT organizations, and explores both its disruptive nature and the new markets and opportunities it’s creating.

Now that the fundamentals are in place, companies are using them to become an essential part of the cloud’s value chain.

The report covers the impact of the transition on IT organizations in areas such as security, data, the new fundamentals of service provision, network architecture and the need to make the cloud part of a long-term systems and technology strategic plan.

It also features:

  • Emerging leaders in the cloud computing space.
  • How an always-on, always-available infrastructure supports applications that cut expenses and generate revenues.
  • Open APIs and how they drive the marketplace of the cloud economy.
