In today’s dynamic business environment, IT departments are
under permanent pressure to meet two divergent requirements: to
reduce costs and to support business agility with higher flexibility
and responsiveness of the IT infrastructure. Grid and Cloud
Computing enable a new approach towards IT. They enable increased
scalability and more efficient use of IT based on virtualization of
heterogeneous and distributed IT resources. This book provides a
thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Grids and Clouds and
of how companies can benefit from them. A wide array of topics is
covered, e.g. business models and legal aspects. The applicability
of Grids and Clouds in companies is illustrated with four cases of
real business experiments. The experiments illustrate the technical
solutions and the organizational and IT governance challenges that
arise with the introduction of Grids and Clouds. Practical
guidelines on how to successfully introduce Grids and Clouds in
companies are provided.
