Topic - Computing in a Cloud

Rapid advancements in hard virtualization, server architecture, intelligent networks, utility computing, software-as-a-service, and Rich Internet Applications will make the location of computing less relevant and visible, leading to a new paradigm called "Computing in the cloud."

In particular, services continues to evolve into full-fledged platforms for which independent software vendors (ISVs) develop and deploy business applications, just like they have done for the desktop environment. As a result, organizations can opt to access a bulk of their IT capabilities ranging from infrastructure to software and services) directly from 3rd parties over the Internet on an as-needed basis. The increasing availability of this option can lead to faster IT response to changing business needs. For user organizations, a wide adoption of cloud computing, which is still subject to concerns around data privacy, security, and integration, will likely redefine the role of IT departments and CIOs because of the diminishing need for in- house IT operations.

  7. 7. “Cloud Hype” Stallman berates cloud computing 'hype‘ Keep your own data on your own machine, says Free Software Foundation chief By Iain Thomson 02 Oct 2008 Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, has warned that cloud computing is mainly quot;hypequot; and companies risk losing control of their data if they buy into such systems. Stallman told The Guardian that cloud computing posed a serious danger, as businesses and individuals would lose direct control over their data by handing it over to third parties. quot;It's stupidity. It's worse than stupidity. It's a marketing hype campaign,quot; he said. Source: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2227326/stallman-berates-cloud Copyright © 2008 Accenture. All rights reserved.
