Cloud Evolution

Dion Hinchcliffe posted an excellent article about the current state of Cloud Computing.

Interesting to see the evolution of this new service evolve and generate the agility that companies want from their IT infrastructure. I am curious to see who the big players in this arena will be in one or two years from now… Amazon, EMC, IBM? Somebody completely unknown today?

As soon as the market agrees on standards, the fight for market share will start and we will see a huge amount of investments being made… increasing competition will then put pressure on prices, playing into the hands of consumers.

Cloud-Computing to invalidate Moore’s Law?

An interesting article on InfoQ says that Cloud-Computing will dramatically reduce the computing power per Dollar and therefore grow the available processing power even faster than Moore predicted in 1965 – expecting an exponential growth.

Not only will it increase the available processing power, it also requires ultra-fast networks which will help network infrastructure providers like Cisco and Nortel Networks (are they still around?) to create and sell new products and services.

Providers like EMC will make storage available in the cloud – another crucial piece of the puzzle.
