The core attraction of clouds si that companies can avoid buying and running hardware, software and other equipment by contracting with a services vendor to run selected systems or applications on its own infrastructure of virtualized servers. This common use of virtualized environments for SaaS (Software as a Service) is becoming a wide-eyed optimistic approach to managed technology with diversity relevant to project or company size. “The ‘services’ you purchase are delievered in a standardized, multitenancy fashion that observers say will save one-third to one-half of your current costs.” Motorola with 33 SaaS applications, including Salesforce.com, “estimates the cost at one-third to one-half of what Motorola normally spends on those applications.”
