The value of cloud computing became apparent after Lionsgate received cost estimates for a new data center in Santa Monica, California, "The computer room in Santa Monica was very expensive and moving it to less expensive space still was not cost-effective," noted Leo Collins, Executive Vice President and CIO for Lionsgate. "The difficulties of managing two physical facilities, with many network and server devices recede into the background when you embrace cloud computing services."
