Cloud Computing

“Cloud computing is emerging at the convergence of three major trends – service orientation, virtualization and standardization of computing through the Internet” - Gartner

Cloud computing is Internet based development and use of computer technology.  It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet.  Users do not need specialized knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure “in the cloud” that supports them.  The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams, and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals.

EcomNets helps IT organizations avoid capital expenditures (CapEX) on hardware, software and services, rather paying only for what they use. Consumption is billed on a utility or subscription basis with little or no upfront cost.  Other benefits of this time sharing style approach are low barriers to entry, shared infrastructure and costs, low management overhead and immediate access to a broad range of applications.  Users can generally terminate the contract at any time, thereby avoiding return on investment risk or uncertainty, and the services are often covered by service level agreements with financial penalties. 
The core benefits of Cloud Computing are:

• Resource on-demand
• Pay for what you use
• Accessible as a loosely-coupled service
• Scalable and elastic
• Improves economics due to shared infrastructure and elasticity

EcomNets empowers clients to drive measurable financial and environmental benefits from IT Eco-Efficiency and IT Eco-Innovation.  Our goal is to optimize energy efficiency, reduce power consumption, reduce electronic waste, and realize a return on investment.
