"We believe we’re moving out of the Ice Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age, to the participation age. You get on the Net and you do stuff. You IM (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine."
Scott McNealy, former CEO, Sun Microsystems
Security
It’s an unfortunate truth that the ever-evolving nature of these technologies sometimes leads to opportunities for those who would steal or corrupt your data.

Security
"Security concerns top the list of barriers to cloud adoption led by general security concerns (53%, up from 45% in last year’s survey), legal and regulatory compliance concerns (42%, up from 29%), and data loss and leakage risks (40%)."
Holger Schulze, Group Founder, Information Security on LinkedIn
Platform Management
Wouldn’t it be great if, instead of just being able to install software upgrades to your personal computer, you could upgrade the entire system itself without having to go out and buy a new machine, then reinstall all of your software. This ability to upgrade the platform ‘behind the scenes’ is one of the major advantages of cloud computing. Phoenix experts will manage your cloud platform to make sure you always have access to the ‘latest and greatest’ in terms of both performance and stability.
Platform Management
"I don’t need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster… carrying around these non-connected computers is byzantine by comparison."
Steve Jobs, late Chairman of Apple (1997)
Infrastructure Management
How well your cloud platforms, applications and data storage and management work together determines the effectiveness of any cloud computing solution. Each of these components must be monitored and kept optimized in order to ensure the greatest security, productivity and flexibility.
Infrastructure Management
"Cloud computing is really a no-brainer for any start-up because it allows you to test your business plan very quickly for little money. Every start-up, or even a division within a company that has an idea for something new, should be figuring out how to use cloud computing in its plan."
Brad Jefferson, CEO, Animoto
