Information technology is changing rapidly, and now forms an invisible layer that
increasingly touches every aspect of our lives. Power grids, traffic control, healthcare,
water supplies, food and energy, along with most of the world's financial transactions, all
now depend on information technology.
An emerging compute model—cloud computing—addresses the explosive growth of internet-connected devices, and complements the increasing presence of technology in today's world. Cloud computing is massively scalable, provides a superior user experience, and is characterized by new, internet-driven economics.
