HAVE YOU EMBRACED THE CLOUD?
The following section highlights Oracle partners that provide
and support the hosting and managing of IT solutions on the
Internet. From infrastructure to storage to applications, moving
part or all of your IT environment to the cloud means moving
IT costs from a capital expense to an operating expense. This

Cloud Offerings from AT&T Provide Reliability
and Scalability
The term “cloud computing” has come to mean many things to many people in the technology industry. AT&T defines its cloud
computing services as network-resident capabilities delivered over
a highly reliable network with global reach to a broad range of
devices of the customer’s choice. What differentiates AT&T from the
competition is its pairing of an on-demand, scalable cloud model
with its global network, a breadth of products and services, and its
trusted reputation.
The consumption-based model is a cost-effective way to leverage
a service provider cloud. Businesses only take on expense for assets
and services they use, instead of building out a costly infrastructure
that may not be used in the future. This pay-as-you-go model allows
companies to match revenues to expenses.
For example, companies can very rapidly increase computing
capacity to accommodate higher demands on their website, run
complex computational models, or develop and test new applications. This strategy allows companies to be innovative and agile
without a heavy investment in new services.
AT&T offers two infrastructure-as-a-service solutions. AT&T
Synaptic Storage as a ServiceSM is a web services-based storage
solution that scales up or down, and allows businesses to pay for
only the storage they use. AT&T Synaptic Compute as a ServiceSM
offers pay-as-you-go computing in the cloud for companies and
developers, allowing quick access to virtual servers. Both solutions
are supported by a single enterprise-class service level agreement,
which is unique in the industry.
