Printable Summary
The limiting factor in the adoption and success of Cloud Computing today is moving from IT towards the WAN infrastructure, where Internet – even if it is high speed – is not any more good enough. It is about guaranteed transfer rates, latency at the speed of light – all together without losing any bit of transferred data. This and inherent security of all data while being in WAN transit can be facilitated by commercial networking solutions.
