Cloud computing is a new model for IT, and a new IT stack of technologies is emerging to support and accelerate cloud adoption with customers.  eGroup, in conjunction with VMware, Cisco, and EMC, is able to deliver the complete solution stack for the new model of IT today.  eGroup’s offerings enable customers to evolve their business to the enterprise hybrid cloud—a secure, managed, compliant model of IT that shares resources across public and private cloud sources.

	Each layer in the stack creates new approaches and opportunities for IT to serve and anticipate business needs:
	Cloud Infrastructure and Management: How IT will run and deliver applications
	Cloud Application Platform: How organizations will build, run, and scale applications
	End-User Computing: How users will consume applications

The Journey to Your Cloud

As customers transition to cloud computing, eGroup has identified three distinct, evolutionary steps: starting by achieving higher degrees of IT production and cost savings, followed by increased reliability and quality of service for critical business applications, and eventually moving to an on-demand approach for consumption of IT as more and more automation capabilities are brought online.

While each customer’s path to cloud computing will be unique, understanding this basic framework helps customers, in lock step with eGroup, understand how to plan for this transition.
