Use the Cloud to Understand the Benefits

I met my good friend this evening who has become a cloud computing fanatic in a very short period.
For someone who had a dim view of cloud computing this sudden transformation came as a surprise.
I asked him what brought about this change !
The answer was simple he started using the Cloud extensively for his work and even started signing up with various cloud service vendors to understand their service levels and benefits and Eureka he was converted to the cloud.
Today he understands the benefits of the cloud and he does More with Less for his projects which needs him to deliver significant computing provisioning at short notice for his clients.
He achieves this and saves money by using the cloud with the help of his credit card..
He was keen to share with me what he has learnt on his cloud surfing adventure and I look forward to share his experiences in this blog sometime in the future.

My advice to the readers of my blog is start Using the Cloud, get those credit cards out and sign up with any of the cloud service providers based on your needs.
Start stress testing the cloud, try a cyber attack on your applications on the cloud, try seeing how it works for you. Run a whole pilot exercise on the cloud and you would be astounded by the outcome.
If you are not converted as a "Cloud Computing Fanatic" please send me an email, for those of you who get converted keep using the cloud and spread the message to your friends and your digital community.
