Learn more about what it takes to be regarded as cloud.
Many different organisations try to define cloud computing based on the definition that suits their business model best, however, there are a number of key requirements for a solution to be regarded as cloud.
In order for a solution to be regarded as cloud, it needs to be delivered via the internet, ideally in a web browser, and should not require a user to install any additional software to facilitate the core delivery of the applications in “cloud mode”.
Of course, as we have there are potentially additional components to address things such as print management, single sign-on, multifactor authentication and VPNs for additional security but the core should require no user intervention. Often times technology enthusiasts and pundits will want to get into discussions about how an application is built, the programming languages, technologies and architectures, but for most customers those discussions are irrelevant.
