Lowering operating costs has always been among the top priorities of today's enterprises, and cloud computing may be what they need to achieve that.
This technology has been around for years, but its role today has increased tremendously since it is used not just to provide software as a service, but infrastructure and platform as a service as well.
"This has enabled enterprises to cut costs tremendously on application delivery. It allows enterprise applications, whether they are in the data center or outside, to be delivered to users wherever they are," says Michael Harris, Citrix Systems director of strategy and communications.
This means users can take their notebook computers anywhere and still access their enterprise applications hosted on the cloud.
