Cloud computing on the horizon Wladawsky-Berger

Filed under: Infrastructure Support — Bryan Alexander @ 11:57:54 am

Iving Wladawsky-Berger reflects on cloud computing, noting that the field is exciting to startups and small groups, but not yet ready for enterprise use. Wladawsky-Berger also sees two major features of emergent cloud computing, which could appeal to campuses: solid scalability and improved user experience. Combined, what could be seen?

Cloud applications should be able to provide a really high quality of experience to massive numbers of users without missing a beat. They should significantly improve the way people deal with the many tasks and devices that surround them in their everyday life – at work, at home, on-the-go, and wherever they happen to be.
