One of the key issues for large organizations is ensuring that development of new applications fits the enterprises goals: * Are they built using the most appropriate components and infrastructure? * Is there any consistency of approach between different projects?* Are modern techniques such as continuous integration and test being used to ensure the best productivity? * Are reports on code quality and test coverage available to developers, programme leaders and management? Many large enterprises struggle with these aspects and the result is felt in expensive ongoing maintenance, lack of agility, and technology sprawl.

Although a public cloud has access to an "infinite" amount of computing resources, it's not for everyone. If you need to store your data in data centers that are controlled for security or policy decisions, a public cloud proves to be of little use. In such cases, a private cloud environment is the answer. A complete cloud computing environment can be used by your developers within data centers to build their applications on. They can also create test environments as and when required with almost no help from infrastructure teams.

Many organizations opt to move their applications to cloud considering the innumerous benefits it provides. However, serious thought must be given to the security aspect of the application and data before deciding to make this move For e.g. What happens if part of your critical customer information leaks out or your application becomes non-responsive due to a DOS attack ?
