Cloud computing is the most exciting evolution in information technology today.

Defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) as “a model for enabling convenient, on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider intervention,” cloud computing represents a fundamental change in the way that corporations conduct business today, a shift that is well underway.
