Enterprise architects are facing a cloud computing dilemma – how to enable their business to take advantage of the many benefits of cloud computing, while protecting and leveraging existing IT investments. Because not all IT resources belong in the cloud, this dilemma is not simple to solve.
Architects can and should integrate cloud options into their existing strategies for the organization's business applications and computing infrastructure. Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers up a new set of tools to solve the problem. PaaS can help bridge public and private cloud usage, enabling better trade-offs between in-house resources and use of hosted, curated services.
Attend this webinar and hear PaaS experts discuss the issues and opportunities involved in the transition to the cloud.
