Challenges
Cloud computing has changed the way users think about the services they consume. In their private life, end users can now consume, for example, mobile applications and services on-demand, by just browsing through an Application Store, selecting the services they are interested in and downloading and installing them with one click. Such high expectations in what concerns service delivery have started to make their way into the enterprise world as well. Service Providers are thus faced with the challenge of delivering services, be it compute or storage resources, desktops, applications, or even complex multi-tiered application landscapes, on-demand, anywhere, anytime. What is more, end users are also no longer willing to pay for more than what they actually consume and need, forcing Service Providers to offer flexible pay-per-use pricing models.
