Computing as a Service - 7 Insights on the Future of Cloud Computing
1 like350 views
This presentation discusses the future of cloud computing. It makes the following key points: 1. Most business computing will move from private data centers to public clouds, marking a shift to a new "cloud era" of centralized and large-scale computing. 2. While older models still have relevance, cloud computing will drive technology to be "better, faster, cheaper." Not all clouds are equal due to varying fine print details. 3. Cloud is a new tool, not a panacea, and the appropriate solution depends on specific computing needs and applications. Cloud will spark innovation but is not always the answer.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Anyway to animate an overhead view of a really large datacenter? It should replace the power plant
- #7: Not sure the image fits…we need something that shows it is additive not a replacement. Done.
- #8: Hard to see middle message on first build; can we make build fasterDone.
- #14: Animate as all refd first, keep that until the new model emerges and make that blue
