Abstract
Cloud computing has finally matured enough that the time has come to properly understand what benefit it could provide to SharePoint owners. The SharePoint owner in your organization will still ultimately have responsibility for users’ content despite the fact that the infrastructure is owned by an external third party. There will also be the responsibility for credential federation and single sign-on. SharePoint in the cloud is available on dedicated hardware as well as in multi-tenancy environments. In either case, the administrator has to adapt or replace existing plans and procedures for HA and DR. These concepts have to be thought about differently now because some aspects of the HA and DR are in the hands of a third party and a whole new raft of servers will have to be managed if you want single sign-on.
