Can cloud computing live up to its hype, or is it just another empty promise designed to create demand and liberate more funds from already strapped IT budgets?
“Hype aside, cloud computing is nothing new,” according to Bruce Schneier, an internationally renowned security technologist and author of numerous books on the subject. “It’s the modern version of the timesharing model from the 1960s, which was eventually killed by the rise of the personal computer. It’s what Hotmail and Gmail have been doing all these years, and it’s social networking sites, remote backup companies, and remote e-mail filtering companies such as MessageLabs. Any IT outsourcing–network infrastructure, security monitoring, remote hosting–is a form of cloud computing.”
