The cloud, the cloud, the cloud. That’s what everyone is (supposedly) talking about. It seems as if every hardware or software company is jumping on the “the cloud or bust” bandwagon.
It was only a few years ago when the key word in every technical presentation was “paradigm” or “paradigm shift”. Now it’s “the cloud”!
Get 50 people in the same room and you will probably get 50 different interpretations of what the cloud is, whether you need it or can afford it.
My fellow MVP, Tim Barrett, has written a great article with his take on some of the statistics being used to convince everyone that “it’s all about the cloud”.
