White Paper Abstract:
Cloud computing has become an important technology to consider for organizations that are looking to optimize their IT operations and reduce operating costs. Until now, leveraging the cloud involved either setting up and running applications in the cloud and managing them long-term off-premise, or running services as a one-time event. Migrating existing services, applications, and virtual machines to the cloud presented immense networking complexities, and if performed outside a local data center, was a non-trivial challenge. Moving live services without user interruption was virtually impossible.
