The overloaded cloud, IaaS, the future, and C3

posted by Michael Harries

This is a deck I used recently to explain Cloud Computing, Citrix and to demystify the C3 offering at iForum Sydney and Melbourne (May 2009). I know that this flies somewhat in the face of those who believe that the definition of cloud is completely and globally understood, but the reality is that "Cloud" is stupidly overloaded. This is my attempt to unpack cloud computing, and to illustrate which parts are most relevant to Citrix, C3 and the enterprise IT shop. Let me know what you think.
– Cheers! Michael

    Michael, I think you have captured it right. It's not that people see the Cloud in pieces, but they "want" to see it that way!

    Everyone is coming from position of strength and positions are shaping up. I liked your positioning too.,. well articulated slides was added bonus!

    Regards, Anand.

      Hello Anand,

      Thank you for the comment. I think we're going to see a lot more refining of positions over the next 12 months, and some real appreciation that cloud is not a silver bullet.

      BTW - I have an updated version of this deck at http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/michaelha/2009/08/13/All+the+faces+of+cloud+and+the+Citrix+Cloud+Computing+story

      Best Regards,
      Michael
