INTRODUCTION

The adoption of cloud computing has provided an alternative model for buyers across segments, to gain access to and consume enterprise-class infrastructure, with high levels of flexibility and scalability at reduced costs. Cloud adoption continues to grow, with enterprises increasingly demanding cloud delivery as part of their IT infrastructure deals, especially during engagement renewals or while commencing transformation initiatives.
