Cloud Intelligence. There are 3 new things in the cloud intelligence compared to the old business intelligence. 1. Elasticity Dynamic on-demand pro-visioning of resources. For cloud computing‚ this term has mostly been used in relation to scaling up/down the performance‚ e.g.‚ the number of processing nodes. While this form of elasticity is obviously also relevant for cloud intelligence‚ an even more important type of elasticity is the ability to dynamically bring in new data sources to meet
