Whether it be executing custom applications on hosted platforms or a service provider handling a specific software package, the types of cloud-based services are as varied as the applications that are available:
Though cloud-computing is becoming an everyday reality for many organizations, hosting-providers can vary significantly in their costs, service levels and the flexibility they are willing to provide to their clients. Therefore, if an organization teams with the wrong hosting provider or does not select the optimal solution for their operational model, there can be significant cost and operational ramifications.
