Cloud Computing

Cloud computing makes IT systems or software applications available as a service over the Internet. With cloud computing, you can reduce your internal IT overhead by essentially purchasing access to IT systems or applications hosted by a third party.


Sybase extends the Unwired Enterprise to cloud computing environments

Cloud computing centralizes common IT systems or applications, giving many different users access to them via the Internet or an internal corporate network. Users do not need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the cloud that supports the IT system or application. Cloud computing has two forms: public and private. Public clouds are managed by third-party vendors, and corporations purchase or rent access to the systems or applications in the cloud. Private clouds are provided by central IT teams in enterprises and can be accessed by different business units across an organization.

By using a cloud computing model, you can:

  • Reduce your IT overhead by having some or all of the IT infrastructure managed by a cloud computing service provider.
  • More quickly scale your IT system or application by incrementally purchasing more computing resources from the service provider.
  • Benefit from the 24x7 availability often provided by cloud computing vendors.
