NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can
be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort
or service provider interaction.
This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of:
5 Essential Characteristics
On-demand self-service
Resource pooling
Rapid elasticity
Measured service
Broad network access

4 Deployment Models

Hybrid Cloud

Enterprise Cloud Computing

Our Perspective
Logical next step towards achieving greater automation and agility, driving efficiency
and lowering cost
An Enterprise Cloud solution should enable transformation of the entire IT into Cloud
And not build more pockets of automation
Should be broad enough to cover typical enterprise landscape
Should reduce complexity, not increase it

An Enterprise Cloud solution must also cater to all personas and roles within an
enterprise
Cloud consumer, Cloud administrators, Developers, Business Sponsors..
New solution must be designed in Cloud context; just repackaging old wine in a new bottle
wont do
