►Which model(s) should your organization adopt?

►How can you be sure that moving hardware, software, servers, storage, and other infrastructure components to a third-party provider is right for your organization?

►Should you consider IaaS for temporary or experimental workloads only?

►And what about the technical/security risks, scalability, and legal/contract issues that are critical to a successful IaaS platform deployment?
