“In a cloud computing environment, the vendor holds the strings”

And that is why you will always have a corporate datacenter exist. That does not mean that cloud computing will not prevail- infact quite the opposite. check link here

But what it means is that Fortune 1000 will shrink to fortune 200 – and that Fortune 200 will have their own datacenters.

I was just wondering how in your opinion “vendor holds the strings and can shut you down, SLA be damned” fact in the context of cloud computing is any different from absolutely the same fact in the context of regular colo?

I see how it’s different in cloud computing vs enterprise own datacenter. But that battle hopefully will be resolved the old fashioned way – costs vs benefits.

Thanks for a great blog!
