Clouds are coming..
Clouds is catching up and that is what the customers want..why do u want ur customers to buy a complete powerhouse..to get power?? they shud be able to pull in power from the lines and shud pay only for the power that they consumed..Utility computing + SAAS+ HAAS + Visualization = Cloud Computing. I am loving this concept and if I am customer that is what I would want..now who ever catches up with this cloud computing and provides services on cloud are going to be the winner!!!..now what about the Integration with ur Enterprise Systems?? what will u do with ur existing applications?? how can I customize the generic services that is there on Cloud?? can I just move everything onto a cloud and just buy a net-books and be happy??..these are some questions..that need serious thinking and answers..but I am sure they all will be solved sooner or later…I am personally excited with clouds
…and started thinking cloud for everything..thanks to IBM there is a cloud sandbox in the intranet, where I can do some experiments…and thanks to google apps…I wish I had all the time in the world to focus on this thing…and sit in the back office and see how the Infrastructure would look like for a cloud…instead of being just another application developer on the cloud
