Here are some highlights, but do take the time to read the whole orginial article if you’re interested:
“…Mainstream consumers will become more aggressive in lowering their cost of both personal and business computing, and will become far more accepting of lightweight client machines running free and open-source operating systems and applications — including application-oriented Internet clients like Google’s Chrome.”
PETER COFFEE
Director, Platform Research - Salesforce.com
“… In a sense, for cloud computing to succeed, system administration needs to be eliminated. Or more accurately, automated and simplified, which creates tremendous potential.”
GEVA PERRY
GM of Cloud Computing, GigaSpaces
“… Cloud Computing will certainly fuel the SaaS business. More and more Desktop applications will turn into Services or at least hybrid online/offline apps that live in the Cloud.”
MARKUS KLEMS
Research Assistant, FZI Research Center for Information Technology
“…2009 will not bring any unified standard or interfaces, but the community will have woken up for the need for this and efforts will really begin to shine through…”
ALAN WILLIAMSON
Editor-in-Chief, Cloud Computing Journal
“…The user doesn’t care where the content is being served, or what web service is involved, they care about it working well and working quickly.”
BEN RUSHLO
Director Web Performance Consulting, Keynote Systems
“… The most important reason will be the confidence gained by the enterprises on the security of the clouds.”
