As IT organizations increasingly face the challenges of managing the complexity of delivering superior application performance and reliability across a disparate range of technology and deployment environments, the Cloud has emerged as a cost-effective means to build virtual data centers. But Infrastructure platforms like Amazon Web Services don't preclude companies from needing experienced systems administrators to build and manage their applications. This white paper will describe how a PaaS system operates, and present how CIOs can use this cloud-based enterprise solution to meet their customers’ needs and save money on budget expenses.

Quantifying business service performance can represent a bit of a challenge for IT organizations supporting sophisticated environments and relying on external service providers in part to deliver IT services to end users and customers.

Most of the world is interconnected thanks to email and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
85% of people around the globe who are connected online send and receive emails and 62% communicate through social networking sites, particularly in Indonesia, Argentina and Russia, which have the highest percentage of users.
More than 80% of Indonesians and about 75% in Argentina, Russia and South Africa visit social media sites.
Although Facebook and other popular social networking sites, blogs and forums, were founded in the United States the percentage of users was lower at 60%, and in Japan it fell to 35%, the lowest of the 24 countries in the global survey.

The cat is out of the bag when it comes to public cloud. Business has figured out that it can get resources and services faster from external providers than IT. What’s more, IT knows that this is going on, and they have realized they are powerless to stop it. The survey told us that 79% of respondents were planning on running mission critical workloads on resources that are not managed by IT within two years, while only 36% allow this today. Further, among the CIOs we surveyed, 72% agreed or strongly agreed that the business sees cloud as a way to circumvent IT!
There is an old saying that if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Business has seen IT as part of the problem for a long time, and can finally do something about it. However, all is not lost for IT. If the business is embracing cloud, IT can help make the transition a successful one. We also learned, unsurprisingly, that expectations for cloud are extremely high. Business is expecting cloud to speed up time to market, reduce costs, and solve world hunger (ok, maybe not). So the question is: can IT be a positive force towards meeting these high expectations for cloud?

CIOs are waking up to the reality that they've lost control over access to data stored in software-as-a-service applications purchased by other departments.
By the time an organization buys its sixth or eighth SaaS application, it's in trouble.
More auditor attention and more security will be directed at this problem.
