The Cloud Bubble: Is Computing Becoming a Utility?
September 15, 2009 - 06:50 AM

The Gartner Hype cycle research shows Cloud Computing as being on the peak of expectations… the very top of the hype bubble roller coaster.

Vendors are looking for something to sell, and the consolidation of the data center, reducing operational cost and economy of scale are as convenient of an excuse as anything. There are some fundamental technologies as well that will make a big difference such as Virtualization.

The question that still remains is whether computing is becoming a utility?
