QoS-Aware Management of Cloud Applications

云计算作为提供按需资源的范例越来越受欢迎。企业开始将云视为一种经济的方式来增强甚至取代其现有的IT基础设施。因此，许多组织正在考虑将其应用程序和数据迁移到云环境，以利用其灵活性和潜在的成本节约。我们预计，随着技术的成熟，云计算市场的流动性和竞争将越来越大，这将迫使供应商采用更广泛的机制，如销售价格和激励措施，以吸引消费者。为了利用不断发展的云市场，消费者将需要技术来有效地评估提供商的产品，并在提供商之间高效透明地迁移应用程序。

Cloud computing is growing in popularity as a paradigm for providing on-demand resources. Organizations are beginning to see clouds as an economical way of augmenting, or even replacing, their existing IT infrastructure. As a result, many organizations are considering moving their applications and data to a cloud environment in order to take advantage of its flexibility and potential cost savings. We anticipate that the fluidity of, and the competition within, the cloud computing market will grow as the technology matures, which will force providers to adopt a wider range of mechanisms, such as sale prices and incentives, to attract consumers. To take advantage of the evolving cloud market, consumers will demand technologies to evaluate provider offerings effectively and to migrate applications efficiently and transparently between providers.
