Cloud Computing Foundations

Class Overview & Benefits

Overview

In today’s computing world, the latest buzz is about “Cloud Computing”.  With so many trends, best practices, and other technologies being put forth as “the hottest”, the “silver bullet”, the “next killer app”, coupled with the continued emphasis on lean operations and cost control, making decisions that affect the enterprise as broadly as “going to the cloud” can, having a strong reality-based knowledge of what it is, what it delivers, and how it can figure in your organization’s long-term IT strategy is crucial.
