Cloud Computing is an emerging model in IT for delivering IT-related capabilities as a service and promises dramatically better ease of use, economies of scale and much greater flexibility in sourcing and adapting to change.  Virtualization, SOA, Software as a Service (SaaS), request-driven provisioning are technologies that comprise cloud computing.

Cloud computing enables users and developers to utilize services without knowledge of, expertise with, nor control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. It is, almost literally, operating the service in a cloud. That's a good thing, because many companies lack the ability or desire to work with infrastructure. Utility computing, conversely, provides on-demand infrastructure with the ability to control, scale, and configure that infrastructure.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is, simply, a software-enabled service that is offered on the web, on month-to-month subscription or on a pay-per-use basis, rather than having to purchase or license the software. Technically, SaaS does not have to be offered in a cloud, but given the nature of the SaaS business model, it is hard to conceive of running it in an environment other than a functional utility or cloud makes much business sense in most cases.

To use another analogy, if you as an individual pick up a telephone, you get the same dial tone and ability to make calls as large companies. You just pay less because you use it less.

If you, as a small business, plug something into the wall, you get the same 220 volts 50 Hz alternating current as Microsoft gets. You just pay less because you use less.

Largely, though, that is not true of computing and IT today. Not many businesses can afford to have access and build IT infrastructure that is available to the large companies. A real utility computing platform can change this. It should enable you to affordably have access to, and use of, the same world-class information technology as any large company. You would just pay less, because you use less. Of course, if you use a lot, even enterprise amounts, it's still a great deal. It's all about scalability up and down. Pay for what you need and use. Why would anyone ever pay more than that? You get to deploy applications instantly with infrastructure that grows and shrinks with your business needs.
