Cloud computing not yet a reality, says event panel

Cloud computing not yet a reality, says event panel
With all the hype surrounding cloud computing only about 5% is a reality. The remaining 95% is all an illusion or forward-looking statements of what are to come, Fanfare software VP of marketing David Gehringer told CommsDay International in an interview.
Though the interest for cloud computing remains very real, it seems to have become a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle. Since so much has been written and discussed about the cloud, there is now a growing impatience for actual results, Gehringer said.
Speaking at this year’s NetEvents Singapore, Yankee Group VP for global service strategies Camille Mendler said that the cloud vendor community remains adolescent in its approach. It is cliquey as it squabbles about service definition and standards; geek-led, focusing more on the technology that the consumer; and immature as it lacks consistency in process.

According to the research, if this changes the take-up of cloud computing will explode because those that are familiar with cloud computing are usually already implementing it.
