The technology industry has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. In economic times like these, leading companies are looking to cloud-computing platforms to deliver business functions ranging from packaged business applications to custom application development at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional on-premises platforms. With this growth in enterprise use of cloud-computing comes a corresponding increase in responsibility on the part of vendors to provide cloud-computing platforms that offer outstanding service delivery.
The building blocks of the best practices every successful cloud-computing platform should follow:
1. World-class security – Provision world-class security at every level.
2. Trust and transparency – Provide transparent, real-time, accurate service performance andavailability information.
3. True multitenancy – Deliver maximum scalability and performance to customers with a truemultitenant architecture.
4. Proven scale – Support millions of users with proven scalability.
5. High performance – Deliver consistent, high-speed performance globally.
6. Complete disaster recovery – Protect customer data by running the service on multiple, geographically dispersed data centers with extensive backup, data archive, and failover capabilities.
7. High availability – Equip world-class facilities with proven high-availability infrastructure and application software. Force.com is the only cloud-computing platform that adheres to all seven of theses standards.
