100-day Cloud Watch: Location, Math, Money and Value

March 3, 2010 By brenda michelson

After a short break for some client work, I returned to the 100-day cloud watch.  I’m on the adoption subtopic, working my way through the cloud computing survey list.  At the time of my last update, I had reviewed the two enterprise architecture related surveys.  Those findings:

  • MWD Advisors Survey: Cloud Computing is Fundamentally about Service Delivery & Consumption
  • Forrester to Enterprise Architects: Use Cloud Phenomenon to Boost Role as Business Advisor

Since then, I reviewed 6 more surveys, 4 of which had notable findings.  My commentary:

  • Impressions from CIO Magazine Survey: Do the Math, Don’t forget the Business
  • BT Global Services Enterprise Intelligence Research Report: Location does matter in Cloud Computing
  • F5 Networks Cloud Computing Survey: Business Reasons, Business Influencers
  • Enterprise Management Associates: CapEx reduction is largest, but not sole, cloud computing benefit

Related to the major finding of the BT Global Services Intelligence report – Location does matter – I posted two cloud watch items: 

  • James Urquhart: It’s not (just) the data destination, it’s also the journey
  • Forrester: Interactive Data Protection Heat Map

And while not adoption specific, I couldn’t help but comment on, and pass along these posts:

  • F5’s Lori MacVittie: Users use Applications. Applications use clouds.
  • Gojko Adzic: Tips for keeping your sanity (and apps) in the cloud

Finally, I began my coverage of Cloud Connect with the post below.  If you are attending Cloud Connect and want to meet up, let me know.  I’m taking meetings on Wednesday.
