ABSTRACT

In short, the cloud idea bridges and blends the business and IT environments together to accomplish more and better things for humanity.

­e domineering trend is that all sorts of IT products and solutions are becoming cloud-based services to be provisioned to millions of users simultaneously across the globe. In a nutshell, the stability of cloud facilitates the vision of “IT as a service.” Cloud computing has become such a path-breaking and premium technology. All tangible modules of IT are being touched upon in an exemplary fashion. If there is not a wellintended and dežned EA in place to spell out which cloud solution has to be used, what technologies are required, how they have to be approached and accomplished in the cloud context, and how it all žts into the big picture, eventually the enterprise is bound to su¡er. ­e long-term perspective will be sorely missed.
