There are many different ways in which cloud computing is described. Some call it Software as a Service ("SaaS"); others call the phenomenon hosted services. And more recently, the term Hardware as a Service ("HaaS") has come along. Whatever you want to call it, the benefits are the same: you get quality computing services without ownership.
One of the most popular hosted services is Microsoft Exchange Server. Installing an Exchange server is a major project. You must invest in hardware, software, and ongoing service from a skilled IT professional. If you want Exchange Server 2007, you must install it on 64Bit hardware. So, the investment goes up and up and up. And for the small company that wants to potray a professional appearance, this investment is cost prohibitive. A new installation of Microsoft Exchange 2007 on new 64 Bit hardware will easily exceed $20,000 in the first year for just 5 users. However, if you purchase 5 Hosted Microsoft Exchange accounts, you'll pay as low as $15 per month per user. And with a hosted option, there is no hardware to keep maintained. All you do is pay a monthly fee and we do the rest.
