Cloud Computing – Is it really a disruptive innovation or is it something companies have been doing for years, but has only become a buzzword now ?
Forrester Research had expressed criticism about the nature of and motivations behind the push for cloud computing. They described what is called "cloud washing" in the industry whereby companies re-label their products as cloud computing resulting in a lot of marketing innovation on top of real innovation. The result is a lot of overblown hype surrounding cloud computing. Cloud computing is seen as revolutionary in the long term but over-hyped and misunderstood in the short term, representing more of a gradual shift in our thinking about computer systems and not a sudden transformational change.
So what is Cloud Computing? This panel should help clear some misconceptions about Cloud Computing.
