Adaptive Computing

Increasingly, cloud computing has become an IT priority for virtually every organization in business today. According to a June 2010 Pew Research Survey , a decisive majority of technology professionals predict that, by 2020, most people will access software applications online and work through remotely-accessed server networks. SaaS (Software as a Service) cloud applications such as Salesforce.com and NetSuite are standard, acceptable alternatives to traditional client server enterprise applications. A new competitor to Amazon’s EC2 service surfaces almost every day, and virtually every technology company is incorporating the word “cloud” somewhere in their description.
