Progression Towards Cloud Computing

Progression Towards Cloud Computing

By:


A good definition of cloud computing can be found from many sources, so I will spare myself from coming up with my own definition In my opinion, the following two trends in IT Management and Technology development set the foundation for cloud computing .
Technology developments in managing large scale web applications, like rapid & dynamic provisioning, virtualization, etc.
oSLAs took precedence over where or how application or data resided in the data center
IT's Increasing reliance on Service Providers
oRealize benefits of using shared resources - resources of Service Provider being shared by many of its clients and hence reduces cost
oVendor Management as a core competency of IT
The technology developments mentioned above were adopted in the in-house data center, giving raise to the term Internal Cloud.External Cloud is delivered by vendors, and popularly known as SaaS, PaaS, Iaas (or 'X'aaS).
While IT can play a vital role in corporate business innovation, it is abundantly clear this is not going to happen by IT spending most of its time and resources managing commodity technology stack. (Nicholas Carr's books "Does IT Matter" and "IT Does'nt Matter" are good reading in this area) Cloud computing provides an opportunity for IT to get away from from mundane tasks and focus on what really matters.
