Cloud computing is THE buzzword in the IT industry at the moment. Promising faster system implementation, flexible pricing, no hardware or software - even lower energy costs. It seems too good to be true. And, as with everything else, all of the hype is too good to be true.

Cloud computing can offer many benefits but there are many risks to be considered before moving your IT services. As a solution it is still developing.

 Above the Clouds will help you to create a strategy for moving your IT services to the cloud, identify and mitigate risks and advises on how to select a cloud services provider.

Above the Clouds is probably one of the first practical books on cloud service adoption and a great introduction into how you can make cloud services work for you.

Above the Clouds is published on the 9th February 2010 and can be pre-ordered from Amazon HERE
