I am in The Cloud again


….just about the time I think I am finished researching The Cloud, some one sends me more data.  So here you go.  Grab some of these articles and check out some of the interesting ideas I have been sent.

I have been in the business world for many, many years and most of the industries have some kinds of Standards.  I have even been a part of those who set those Standards.  In the “olden days” of the PC Network, there were no Standards.  It was pretty much “get your stuff out on the market and who ever sells the most sets the Standards.”

We are in a new era with more and more applications having the ability to run in The Cloud.  So, who now sets the Standards and what will the Standards look like?  I received an interesting article written by Rutrell Yasin entitled “How standards could get cloud out of the 1970s.”  Check out the following URL and read the whole thing.  He feels the standards are either non-existent or based on mainframe technology. 

In the same group of articles is one on security.  Check that one out, too.  The really good  article I read, and am passing on, is one entitled, “At last, a solid definition of what a cloud looks like.”

Most of these articles are written from the point of view of what the Federal Government is trying to do.  But, take a look at the ideas they are trying to implement and whether all of The Cloud providers already clash with each other, what they look like and how can they be standardized world wide.
