Apt Apps?

摘要

What's the hardest part of a network architect's job? Setting up servers? Managing IT applications? Staying one step ahead of software upgrades? How about doing none of those things. That's right, none. It may sound paradoxical, but that's actually the idea behind a new class of hosting services known as MAPs (managed application providers). Think of it as extreme outsourcing: The MAP takes over a company's entire application suite, delivering access to end-users over the Internet.
