Cloud is the latest incarnation of the same old idea of (de)provisioning computing resources at moment notice; the SOA is the ultimate distributed environment, and Enterprise Content Management system is a logical evolution of Perl scripts for generating and maintaining web sites…
We do it differently, pack in new features, use different technologies and yet they stay readily recognizable to whomever been around for a couple of decades. It is like a 1920 theatrical performance captured on celluloid film then transferred to VHS to DVD to Blue-Ray…
The following headline caught my eye yesterday:
DHS Plots Its Cloud Computing Strategy
“A Department Of Homeland Security private cloud is expected to serve up SharePoint and enterprise e-mail before the end of fiscal 2010.”
I am happy to see validation for my hunch: private cloud is the way to go until public option matures in terms of security and robustness.
