To benefit most from cloud computing's promise of speed, agility, and cost savings, you'll want to refactor your applications to best use the new architectural and deployment paradigms.

In our complimentary guide, "Cloud Computing Infrastructure and Architecture," you'll learn how cloud computing leverages and transforms the way you design, build, and deliver applications today. Covered in this guide are:

1. Cloud computing infrastructure models and benefits

2. Architectural considerations for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), including:

• horizontal scaling

• parallelization

• data physics

• network security practices

3. Sun's approach to cloud computing

While cloud computing is in its infancy, the model is rapidly gaining IT acceptance. This guide can help you and your company take full advantage.
