The enabler for all of this is the commoditisation of the components (eg email is SMTP these days) in much the same way as standardisation of frequency and voltage allowed an open marketplace to develop for energy generation and distribution.<BR/><BR/>In any case your take on Cloud Computing looks well aligned with mine: <A HREF="http://samj.net/2008/07/cloud-and-cloud-computing-consensus.html" REL="nofollow">'The Cloud' and 'Cloud Computing' consensus definition?</A>Sam Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816529874906993705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29701096.post-61365162193034655232008-06-23T15:18:00.000+02:002008-06-23T15:18:00.000+02:00Thanks, Graig.-JackThanks, Graig.<BR/><BR/>-JackJack van Hoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073941747649739657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29701096.post-48199848602309667462008-06-23T14:38:00.000+02:002008-06-23T14:38:00.000+02:00Lovely diagrams Jack!Makes the post worthwhole jus...Lovely diagrams Jack!<BR/><BR/>Makes the post worthwhole just for their beauty :)Craig Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210437173582289473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29701096.post-90727844565761947942008-06-14T00:56:00.000+02:002008-06-14T00:56:00.000+02:00Thanks for your comment Mark.I think you are right...Thanks for your comment Mark.<BR/><BR/>I think you are right about the electricity analogy. I only used the example to illustrate the cost effect. The price of electricity has such a low level that you don't mind the costs anymore. That may happen to software services as well, if delivered to huge numbers of consumers.<BR/><BR/>-JackJack van Hoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073941747649739657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29701096.post-85134140808375868632008-06-14T00:35:00.000+02:002008-06-14T00:35:00.000+02:00Lots of good points here Jack.

It's delivery method and use really hasn't changed over the past 50 years (demand has). The consumer really doesn't have very many(None) options on the way it's delivered. <BR/><BR/>Contrast that with business users who demand a large amount of customization. If every household wanted a slightly different version of electricity well it would be a different world wouldn't it. The reason electricity works from house to house is because of regulations and standards. We are a long ways from that in the computing world when it comes to business applications.<BR/><BR/>I think there are some things that lend themselves to the cloud but there is still a lot that doesn't. It will be an interesting thing to watch over the next decade or two.Mark Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696309270838259732noreply@blogger.com
