Foretelling the future of cloud computing

Foretelling the future of cloud computing

Douglas GourlayDouglas Gourlay - Senior Director of Marketing and Product Management of the Cisco Data Center Business Unit, foretells the future of cloud computing in his recent Cisco blog entry.

Interestingly, Gourlay states:

"What seems to be changing is the rate of change."

He then proclaims:

"Enterprises will build mini-clouds."
"Service Providers will move into higher revenue cloud models."
"Hypervisors will become THE way of defining the abstraction between physical and virtual within a server."
"Service Providers will scale their cloud managed application/hosting/hypervisor offerings out initially by taking ‘low hanging fruit’ applications."
"IP Addressing will move to IPv6."
"Workload portability between Enterprise Clouds and Service Provider Clouds."
"The Value of Virtualization is compounded by the number of devices virtualized."
"Someone will write a DNS or a DNS Coupled Workload exchange."
"Skynet becomes self aware."
