The benefits of the cloud is just too great, we won't go back. Except in a few years, when something goes down, instead of being some random site who's down, it's going to be the 20,000 sites that are hosted on that hardware.
- TheAmazingIdiot 16y agoNow, different clod providers "speak" different languages now. But I can see in 5 or so years that the cloud will speak a similar set of languages. One could use a storage cloud from this provider and a CPU cloud from another provider. I could eventually see, with help from functional languages like Lisp or Erlang, a intra-company cloud running on and between networks. CPU could be bought from 3 providers, and storage could be bought from 4 providers, with GPU acceleration clusters when big data needs crunched quickly. Or right now, companies can make their own clouds via Eucalyptus. Don't want Amazon to hold your keys? Load balance between Your cloud and Amazon's.
