Sustaining Technologies are changes in technology that maintain the rate of improvements in customer value. (Gemino, 52) Disruptive Technologies introduce a very new package of attributes to the accepted mainstream products. (Gemino, 53) We believe cloud Computing is a hybrid.

From another perspective, everything is new because cloud computing changes how we invent, develop, deploy, scale, update, maintain, and pay for applications and the infrastructure on which they run.
