Get your SaaS off my cloud
- pie 17y agoI'd have to agree - the only thing more annoying than the overuse of industry buzzwords is the INCORRECT overuse of industry buzzwords. It's always disheartening to see business analysts who have no idea what they're talking about, although it's something of an ego boost to those entrepreneurs out there with actual skill and know-how.
- kubrick 17y agoTrue enough, but it's also inevitable. Witness "hacker", "broadband", and the redefinition of IP into "intellectual property". It's annoying if you bother to pay attention, but given the lack of credibility in this post, it's not worth it.
- ssharp 17y agoWhile it may not fit the "definition" (not sure who is really authorized to define what the cloud is and isn't), it has gained acceptance by a vast majority of people that SaaS is a cloud service. The most growth "in the cloud" is going to come from there. The market for IaaS is relatively limited in size and growth (though it still has tons of room), and PaaS is even more limited. The markets are pretty clear in size...SaaS touches everyone. IaaS touches IT departments and PaaS touches developers. It's not hard to see what SaaS gets so much attention, followed by IaaS and very little attention to PaaS.
- kubrick 17y agoSummary: oh my god, this "cloud" thing might make us stop resting on our hardware "appliance" laurels! I will attack on every front I can think of, emphasize security to maximize hysterical potential, and nitpick terminology so I seem more credible.
