Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) are changing how organizations design their technology environments.
• How do IaaS and PaaS impact business continuity planning?
• Have any of the cloud service providers (such as Google, Amazon, Rackspace, Savvis) experienced any major outages that would impact their customers?
• Assuming a hospital used the services of a cloud provider for business continuity services, explain the type of response, recovery, and continuity testing they should conduct.
