Application developers are being challenged by their customers and competitors to deliver their desktop or workstation applications as cloud-based services, without compromising usability or security. This leaves developers in a quandary: how do they take their highly valued applications to the cloud — quickly, easily, and securely — and continue to deliver the great customer experience their users expect?

- Determining the correct infrastructure platform for hosting their service
