Market Snapshot: IaaS

           • Computing

             IaaS providers that providing computing services give you the ability to compute via remote hook ups and other types
             of over-the-net connectivity services, e.g. AWS, Savvis, GoGrid, etc

           • Enterprise IT

                Many large companies with dynamic computing needs look at enterprise solutions. Rather than own their own
                hardware they can outsource the infrastructure to house their internal applications.

           • Cloud Storage

                This may include storage, backup and continuous data protection, e.g. Cachengo Cloud Storage

           • Resource Sharing

                Becoming more common, resource sharing allows companies with similar goals or computing needs to share the
                expense, the maintenance and the infrastructure, e.g. CloudShare

           • Telecom

                Virtual PBX, VOIP and other Internet telephony services, e.g. Cisco

           • High Performance Computing

                Also called supercomputing, HPC refers to using computers for large scale statistical computations. It’s no
                coincidence that the 10 largest HPCs in 2010 all run on Linux., e.g. Penguin
