Some may want to dabble in private cloud or move some of their basic infrastructure apps like e-mail or collaboration to a public cloud environment using Office 365.
These tools must be designed to provide increased visibility to virtual and cloud environment, which will allow IT personnel to more effectively identify the source of issues that arise.

This, combined with the cost effectiveness of the pay-what-you-use cloud environment and white glove service of a fully managed SAP environment, we now plan to move to HANA for all of our production environments in the Virtustream enterprise cloud.
To effectively service an increasingly demanding and tech-savvy consumer base, financial institutions must be able to operate within a cloud environment - but on the surface that may seem incompatible with the regulatory strictures in which financial institutions operate.
But the actual hosting of the application, the actual requirements for that application to exist in a cloud environment, to connect to the virtualized resources and whatever administration tools the cloud providers may give you to configure and maintain the application, will be, for the most part, controlled by the cloud provider.
FORBES: Cloud Computing's Vendor Lock-In Problem: Why the Industry is Taking a Step Backward
An example of an application that does not work well in a simple cloud environment is a shared database, such as the typical Oracle database application, where the information is one big block of data that needs to be manipulated all the time by many computing processes and where access to the shared data needs to be synchronized and managed.
Other software works on ways to transform applications while minimizing risks like compliance or dependence on the software by a remote department, then put it in a cloud environment, untied to any particular server if that is appropriate. (This stage is where the Microsoft part comes in.) Afterward, there is a security assessment, checking software for security attacks in real time.
The total solution provides end-to-end segmentation of a cloud computing environment while offering the economies of scale customers seek to reduce infrastructure costs.
FORBES: Every Company is Now in the Technology Business, But Be Careful
In November 2009 IBM announced the creation of the world's largest private cloud computing environment for business analytics, called BlueInsight, which holds more than a petabyte of information.
Awhile back, EMC-owned VMWare bought Springsource, an open source software company that it hopes to can create an easy to use cloud developer environment for both Java and Ruby on Rails.
The trouble with this approach to the relatively slow interconnection of the processors, latency and lack of real-time security is that there are synchronization and communication challenges, software programming complexities and other issues that are exacerbated in a cloud computing environment.
The cloud is also a shared environment where your Web site or Web service is one virtualized tenant among many others.

Why would you want to copy and distribute dozens of plastic DVDs to people, if you had it available to you in a centralized server on the cloud, in a secure environment that was only accessible by the people who needed to have access to it?

You do indeed leverage a multitenant environment, and other cloud users work within the same logical cloud.
More specifically, cloud computing refers to a hosting environment that leverages pooled computing resources by way of virtualization.

The basis for the platform centers around research related to Microsoft's Singularity project, and envisions a distributed environment where applications, documents, and connectivity are blurred in a cloud-computing phantasmagoria which can be run natively or hosted across multiple systems.
You as a customer can use SQL and standard tools with Oracle applications, and the environment is secure (you can query, integrate, and backup the cloud at the database level, not the application level).
There are cases in which cloud could function as the primary backup site, with on-premises backup as the failover environment.
FORBES: Why a Hybrid Approach to Cloud Computing Works Best for Now
Cloud providers benefit from keeping things proprietary as long as possible, because it locks consumers into their environment.
