My Service Space
the cloud by Axel Haentjens
our experts talk about
what's "new" about the cloud?
about me 
In my blog, I explore how the cloud is being used in all businesses from small office home office (SoHo) and small and medium businesses (SMB), to multinational corporations (MNC). I examine the successful tactics to move into the cloud, its benefits and the return on investment that is achievable. I also offer insight into what makes a successful cloud player and the impact of different business models.
As cloud computing VP, my mission is to define and maintain the strategic vision of Orange Business Services. I arbitrate key technological decisions, select partners and ensure a consistent product roadmap.

- virtualization of computer servers
- e-commerce
- immediate access to services
- billing based on usage and number of users
- capacity to scale up and down rapidly
