It seems like everywhere I go these days, people are talking about cloud computing… Would it be accurate to say that almost everyone are “fairly optimistic” regarding Cloud Computing?
For your convenient, I have collected few cloud-buzz-quotes to spice your cloud computing elevator pitch:
- According to Gartner: “Cloud computing heralds an evolution of business that is no less influential than e-business”
- IDC on Cloud Computing: “This is about the IT industry’s new model for the next 20 years“, Vernon Turner, head of enterprise infrastructure, consumer and telecoms research.
- Merrill Lynch estimates that by 2012, the annual global market for cloud computing will surge to $95 billion and that 12% of the worldwide software market would go to the cloud in that period.
- In January of 2008 Amazon announced that the Amazon Web Services now consume more bandwidth than do the entire global network of Amazon.com retail sites…
- “… the new computing cloud age” Eric Schmidt (April, 2008)
Do you happen to have more???

ReadWriteWeb went on to ask the mystical question “Do You Trust Cloud Computing?”

Yep (with another Quote ;)
“Is Cloud Computing Ready For The Enterprise?” …
“Not Yet, But This Disruptive Innovation Is Maturing Fast” …
“Infrastructure and operations professionals can try to ignore it as it is just in its infancy, but doing so may be a mistake as cloud computing is looking like a classic disruptive technology.”
