Agility
As a shared resource, the cloud provides flexible, automated management to distribute the computing resources among the cloud's users. |
 |
Reliability and Fault-Tolerance
Cloud environments take advantage of the built-in redundancy of the large numbers of servers that make them up by enabling high levels of availability and reliability for applications that can take advantage of this. |
 |
Service-Oriented
The cloud is a natural home for service-oriented applications, which need a way to easily scale as services get incorporated into other applications. |
 |
Lower Costs
By enabling IT resources to be consolidated, multiple users share a common infrastructure, allowing costs to be more effectively managed. |
 |
Green
Sharing resources means less servers; reducing energy consumption and overall carbon footprint. |
