Partly - world virtualization vision, IDC

http://www. pcweek. ru / themes / detail. php? ID = 127604. ) And I started to write comments on it.
Summary of the first part of the comment (. http://cloudclub-ru. blogspot. com/2010/12/idc. html. ):.
like, when you listen to, everything looks nice, but when you start to look narrowly closely, there is a lot of questions.

Here are a few of these.

a. One of theses: the server infrastructure, the share of operating expenses rising faster rate (compared to capital ). It is clear. We present here a chart:.


This is the November schedule. And then it turns out that there is the same, but the January.



In general, it is not to say that radical, but still different graphics data. The second in the last year, the cost of the server - 30 %, and the first - 15%. As can be seen for 10 months, the trend of ' increased dramatically '. The first ' crisis fall ' clearly visible on the second it is not....
' The little lie gives rise to a lack of confidence '....

Let me remind you that the report IDC started with virtualization. Stages of development that now begins the stage of the movement to the Virtualization 3. 0 ( the creation of an adaptive IT infrastructure based on a fully virtualized data centers, a significant spread of private and public cloud computing models, the predominant use of the service-oriented patterns of relationships between IT and business ). Let It Be. Here we come to the ' context of the clouds '.

I believe that in the cloud theme, we observed a complete mess, confusion and vacillation. All very ' vague ', there is an elementary structuring... abstract discussions are under way at the level of theories that are not very clear how to relate to the practice of. Moreover, the Russian.

2. IDC will try to start some kind of restoring order, but so far it looks pretty weak.

Here is the new functional slice:.



The message is clear: to introduce the concept of IT services and non- IT services.

The idea is good, but.
A) a very unfortunate name 'Process-as-a-Service' (PaaS is already taken, then there better than Business-as-a-Service)).
B) Where is the line that separates AaaS of Business Cloud? .

3. Now let's see here on this classification of IT cloud.



This classification is not enough. And the fact that there is a - slightly.

Private clouds are called here internal. By the way, the question is private and domestic - are synonymous, or reflect some different category? . This can be important.

By introducing the concept of AaaS IDC completely confused all. At first I thought AaaS in its terminology - is synonymous with SaaS. But this slide shows that SaaS - it's part of AaaS. To put it mildly, strange. So far, applications have been part of the software, not vice versa. Moreover, it is strange that SaaS is associated with application virtualization. It is evident that there is no strict dependence is not here.

Then there is ' hybrid cloud = virtualized private '. At that time, as today it is an accepted ' hybrid public = private '.

And still looks rather weak attempt to tie the virtualization and cloud. Communication, of course, there is, but generally, virtualization - this is just one method of building a dynamic scalable infrastructure.

And then another slide.



The idea again is good, but implementation is not very strong. Imported players piled in a heap, while not among them, such as VMware and Parallels. There are no hosting companies as a class. It is not clear that the cloud makes integrators.

By the way, I've recently wondered how the vyyaglyadet in English called ' IT '. It turned out - I. T. Co. It seems like not very much... Then ITC or ITCo. By the way: Co - is a company or corporation?.

In general, the clouds have to understand and deal:-).
