Overview :
Cloud computing allows companies to use IT resources as a service, taking advantage of shared applications, processing and storage managed within the cloud - either inside a private cloud at an internal data center, or in an external cloud at a service provider. Greater robustness of the virtualized servers supporting this new IT model will ensure a resilient cloud infrastructure capable of delivering "on-demand" access to users.

As x86 virtualization has become established and cloud computing emerges, a robust IT infrastructure actually matters more than ever. Software aspects get most of the attention partly because they are new. Despite the hype, not every technical challenge is better solved by software alone because of the tradeoffs involved. For high-performance, high-density or mission-critical services and applications, using fault-tolerant server hardware hardens against new vulnerabilities and complements the resilience you can achieve with virtualization and cloud computing.
