ABSTRACT This paper will focus on organization’s IT/IS strategies that called utilizing virtualization combine with cloud computing. The organization’s use of Saas Paas or laas to reduce the total cost of ownership (TOC) and results produce an increase in Return on Investment (ROI). I will examine the impact to IT support personnel after implementation new strategy and infrastructure. I will identify three considerations that management should be aware of as the new strategy is incorporated into daily operations. I will provide architectural diagrams showing usage of Saas Paas and Laas. Finally, I will provide three security issues that may arise utilizing this type of infrastructure.

Let me begin by discussing how corporate America and businesses are rapidly adopting the tools to enhance the capability for an organization to grow utilizing strategies known as software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) . These strategies are all a part of system virtualization. As I search the Internet, I found a good depiction of what each strategy offers to the organization and for this discussion I would like to share it , as I did when I answered question one on incorporating cloud computing. “Cloud Computing is a broad term that describes a broad range of services. As with other significant developments in technology, many vendors have seized the term “Cloud” and are using it for products that sit outside of the common definition. In order to truly understand how the Cloud can be of value to an organization, it is first important to understand what the Cloud really is and its different components. Since the Cloud is a broad collection of services, organizations can choose where, when, and how they use Cloud Computing. In this report we will explain the different types of Cloud Computing services commonly referred to as
