Cloud Computing's Naysayers
|
Cloud computing isn't ready for primetime, at least for larger enterprises, at least now. |
Analyst Peter O'Kelly of technology researchers Burton Group tells The New York Times that many established companies will not save money by moving to the cloud, programs and services offered over the Internet. And Alistair Croll, a partner at Bitcurrent, a consulting firm that specializes in Web and cloud technologies, tells the newspaper that companies will not be able to put data willy-nilly into the cloud because of security concerns.
But Croll contends the cloud isn't going away. "The Web has become the interface" for computing, "the 110 AC outlet," he's quoted as saying.
Just give the cloud time before it bursts.
