Cloud Computing: Fiction or Reality?

The last couple of years lots of articles are written on subjects like “on demand” computing, SAAS, PAAS, etc with one single buzz word: Cloud computing. Despite strong statements of consultants and the IT industry I wonder if the market is already there.

In the coming month’s I’ll try to find out if the big vendors really believe that the browser will become the most important client interface. If they invest in Cloud computing and if they have already interesting offers on the market.

We will make a journey to the Promised Land and will discover the pros and cons. We will find out if the real decision makers believe that Cloud computing will lower their IT cost significantly.

Subjects like security, the impact on Outsourcing and the danger of a “deadly” lock in will be discussed.

Fasten your seat belts and stay tuned for the bumpy ride into the Clouds.
