Overview:

Why should an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) care about cloud computing? The answer is simple: Using the cloud has the potential to increase an ISV's revenues and/or decrease its costs. Running code and storing data on computers in large Internet-accessible data centers owned by somebody else can offer compelling advantages. One option for an ISV looking to benefit from the cloud is to exploit Windows Azure.
