The Utility of Cloud Computing
This assignment will focus on the utility of cloud computing. Much like a traditional utility company (phone, gas, electric), cloud computing providers are large and operate at a significant scale, pay-per-use model, are always available, and are designed to serve small as well as large organizations. In this assignment, you are to use the Internet and research a company that has migrated services to the cloud.
