ABSTRACT
with computing and networking environments getting ever more powerful, complex, and expansive, an increasing percentage of the corporate budget is being used for their support. Much of this money is spent on such brick-and-mortar aspects of computer operations as hardware and software and lines and circuits. In addition, many companies can no longer afford the salaries of qualified technical people to run computer systems and networks or skilled programmers to develop the sophisticated applications needed to run the core business.
