"IT systems will become so interconnected that the risk of failures will escalate."
IT systems will hopefully use the increased connectivity to increase redundancy to counter this. One node failing should not bring down the entire network.
"And endpoints will never be secure."
Yes and no. Security technology is improving, so it's not as hopeless as it seems. As always, it's a matter of balancing security against convenience.
"By 2017, people and organizations won?t be buying computers and connectivity the way they are today. The world will be dominated by telcos, large ISPs and systems integration companies, and computing will look a lot like a utility. Companies will be selling services, not products: email services, application services, entertainment services. We?re starting to see this trend today, and it?s going to take off in the next 10 years."
People said that ten years ago. It didn't happen. Ten years from now, he'll still be saying the same thing and it still won't happen.
And I'll fight it tooth and nail, because it benefits nobody. For exactly the reasons he says. SaaS is our enemy, not our friend. I don't like it and I don't want it. I want to have all of my applications on my computer, not in the "cloud." - Posted by: CobraA1 Posted on: 12/04/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
