Moving Into the Cloud: Microsoft Online Services
“Hey, Hey, You, You, Get off of my Cloud” –- Rolling Stones
Hmmm, looks like the Rolling Stones need to revise their song lyrics to be “Hey, Hey, I - T, Get Into the Cloud!” Sorry…for the bad humor!
But with more and more companies looking to save on hardware costs, energy costs as well as maintain a high-level of server up time at low cost, now might be the right time to look at hosted solutions.
I received an email today from Microsoft with a link to a whitepaper on Microsoft Online Services Business Value. The whitepaper goes into detail on the benefits of online services.
Here’s a synopsis of the whitepaper. The link to the original site and download will be at the end of this post.
