The Imminent Cloud Services Wave
Friday, April 3, 2009 at 7:23AM
Information Week's Plug into the Cloud blog featured an article by Editor John Foley. In the article, John mentions that Gartner predicts that the cloud services market will jump to $56 billion this year. In that same post, he mentions that Gartner predicts those same cloud services will reach $150 billion by 2013.
John opens the piece by pointing out the skepticism and ambiguity as to what cloud services really are. Many in the IT and business community claim that cloud services are not a new paradigm at all and that the term is nothing more than a buzzword generating a bunch of short term hype around the same old ideas and existing technologies that we in the IT community already utilize.
