| cloud solution provider program: Transforming Enterprise Cloud Services William Y Chang, Hosame Abu-Amara, Jessica Feng Sanford, 2010-11-15 The broad scope of Cloud Computing is creating a technology, business, sociolo- cal, and economic renaissance. It delivers the promise of making services available quickly with rather little effort. Cloud Computing allows almost anyone, anywhere, at anytime to interact with these service offerings. Cloud Computing creates a unique opportunity for its users that allows anyone with an idea to have a chance to deliver it to a mass market base. As Cloud Computing continues to evolve and penetrate different industries, it is inevitable that the scope and definition of Cloud Computing becomes very subjective, based on providers’ and customers’ persp- tive of applications. For instance, Information Technology (IT) professionals p- ceive a Cloud as an unlimited, on-demand, flexible computing fabric that is always available to support their needs. Cloud users experience Cloud services as virtual, off-premise applications provided by Cloud service providers. To an end user, a p- vider offering a set of services or applications in the Cloud can manage these off- ings remotely. Despite these discrepancies, there is a general consensus that Cloud Computing includes technology that uses the Internet and collaborated servers to integrate data, applications, and computing resources. With proper Cloud access, such technology allows consumers and businesses to access their personal files on any computer without having to install special tools. Cloud Computing facilitates efficient operations and management of comp- ing technologies by federating storage, memory, processing, and bandwidth. |

| cloud solution provider program: The Startup Protocol Sally Ann Frank, 2024-03-01 There are lots of founders and lots of ideas floating around to help improve the delivery of healthcare services and positively affect the health of each of us as individuals, as well as groups of patients afflicted by chronic or acute diseases. Unfortunately, many of these ideas never reach their full potential to improve patient outcomes or reduce costs of care. Sometimes, it’s because the idea isn’t feasible or scalable. Sometimes, it’s because the market isn’t ready, or regulators aren’t ready. And sometimes, it’s just because the founder or founding team has a blind spot (or two). Not only do these hidden blind spots ensure their failure, but in many cases, with better planning or a greater, more holistic understanding of the market forces, the blind spot can be overcome. Or better yet, the founder can realize that their idea is doomed from the start and consider other, better options to solve the problem they are attacking. The goal of this book is to help founders and their teams identify blind spots and avoid the most common pitfalls of starting a digital health company. Having spent time with founders, VC companies, and most importantly, prospective digital health startups, patterns have emerged regarding those startups that are successful and those that die an often slow and painful death. While not a recipe for guaranteed success, having a guidebook of sorts can help navigate the perils associated with building a digital health company and can very likely improve the odds of success. The book will go through the typical life cycle of an early-stage company, from ideation to the first few customer deals, and highlight best practices for tackling the challenges at each stage including: ◾ What problem are you trying to solve? ◾ And why are you trying to solve this problem? ◾ Who will help you build the solution and company? ◾ How will you build the solution? ◾ How will you pitch your company? ◾ How will you sell your solution? ◾ And, what does success look like to you, your stakeholders, and your customers? |

| cloud solution provider program: Introduction to Client access license Gilad James, PhD, An Introduction to Client Access License (CAL) is a license system widely used in the IT industry to regulate access to server software. CAL is a type of license that gives a user access permission to connect to a server and thus avail its various services. It is a type of license that comes with every Windows Server purchased. A CAL has to be purchased for every user or every device that requires access to the server. CALs come in various forms such as user CALs, device CALs. These licenses are essential in regulating access to server software such that organizations only use the software to an extent allowed by the license. CALs are usually purchased to enable end-users to be able to connect to a server and avail of its services. They are commonly used in organizations where employees use more than one device to access the server. The CAL system ensures that devices or users access the software according to the allowed limit, ensuring compliance with the license. CALs are especially useful in enterprises that find themselves in need of expanding their current infrastructure. When a company installs a new server or upgrades their current one, it has to purchase additional CALs to accommodate the new needs. The system is especially important in organizations seeking to stay compliant with licensing regulations, which if violated, can result in substantial penalties. |
