In these cases cloud computing is an important enabler because a large grid can be efficiently provisioned, used for the project, and then released.\u201d<br \/>\nCloud Computing Journal: The move to cloud isn&#8217;t about saving money, it is about saving time. \u2013 Agree or disagree?<br \/>\nDr. William L. Bain: It\u2019s about both. For certain use cases the cloud saves money in an absolute sense (e.g., where large capacity computing is needed only occasionally, making it impractical to maintain a data center equipped for infrequent maximum use, a public cloud is perfect). We would add that time savings (e.g., from easy provisioning and a ready-made infrastructure) convert into money savings as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cloudcomputing.sys-con.com\/node\/2585004\" >read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cCloud computing definitely plays a role in several aspects of Big Data\u2019s growing popularity,\u201d observed Dr. William L.
