13. How it works
1. Build
Using the AtomSphere library of connectors and maps, visually
design your integration processes and load them into a
lightweight, dynamic run-time engine called an “Atom” for
execution.
2. Deploy
Deploy your Atoms to the AtomSphere for SaaS, PaaS, or cloud
integration or safely behind your firewall for on-premise
applications.
3. Manage
Monitor and maintain the status of all your deployed Atoms,
integration processes and trading partners, regardless of
location, using a feature-rich web-based dashboard.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road
A good proportion of the data center
has leaked OUT of the data center
This particular genie
will never go back

We will have to learn to
live in THE CLOUD,
so how can we do that?
