I am going to be making a day trip out to Vegas for The 451 Group’s ICE Summit in September. Would love to meet up with some of you if you are going to be there for either VMWorld or the ICE Summit. Email me at onsaas -at- gmail if you are interested in connecting.
Thanks and looking forward to it!

So what is cloud computing? The latest buzzword for grid or utility computing? A superset of clustering or virtualization? The public network? Software as a service? A new sourcing model? The Internet for business?
‘Cloud computing’ describes a service model that combines a general organizing principle for IT delivery, infrastructure components, an architectural approach and an economic model – basically, a confluence of grid computing, virtualization, utility computing, hosting and software as a service (SaaS).
Or, put more simply, the cloud is IT, presented as a service to the user, delivered by virtualized resources that are independent of location.
This report examines cloud computing, beginning with this clear-cut definition of the technology. It then looks at the cloud computing trend – by analyzing the technology, as well as the economic models and delivery mechanisms involved – with the goal of separating the reality from the hype.
