Breaking from the theme of this Blog I’m posting on Cloud Computing. I started by reading Andre Yee’s definition of Cloud Computing. I’ve known Andre for many years and greatly respect his opinions and vision.
Independently we both discovered the National Institute for Standards (NIST), ITL recently came out with their draft definition of Cloud Computing…and I like it…not because I agree with the definition, which I do, but it provides structure.
It is not a simple elevator pitch like Andre was proposing but it is good. It provides much needed structure around the characteristics, delivery models, and deployment models. It basically says Cloud Computing is the overarching terms for everything and provides a definition of where things fit – like SaaS.
This will go along way to creating consistency. We will know for sure we have a good definition when we can equally focus on what Cloud Computing isn’t AND we clearly demonstrate value to the user/buyer personas.
