Editor's Notes
No one knows for sure how it play out, but here we have what might be thought of as a hypothetical adoption curve. What this represents is the shift from traditional data centers, run as they are today, to a world which is dominated by cloud computing either as public or private clouds. Since this projects into the future, the timeline is almost impossible to guess, but some parts of the industry are already well up on the curve. Take web startups. Anyone seeking funding to on an unproven business model is unlikely to get funding from venture capitalist for infrastructure. Instead they are using operating funds to run their applications at cloud service providers. This not only put less capital at risk, it also lets the new company focus on what it should, which is it’s product offering, not the undifferentiated infrastructure.
Note: if you haven’t read it already, Nicholas Carr has this really great book, called the Big Switch. In this book he compares what we are seeing today with the conversion of the electrical power industry to a utility at the turn of the century. At one time, each manufacturer had to have it’s own power generating capability. Over a short period of time, once the technology was able to scale and distribution solved, it quickly moved to a utility. Of course computing isn’t exactly like electricity, but it’s an interesting analogy.
