Govind: so here’s the question – is anything really going to be different? Today if you want to run a large-scale application you need to have your very own data center. Only a few firms can afford to do this. The arrival of clouds opens the door to just about anyone developing and running very large applications cheaply. I do agree that in 5 years we’ll only have a few superpowers of cloud providers left…

In one of our recent blogs we talk about cloud computing being analogous to Caribbean colonialism. At the moment there is a real sense of openness and opportunity in cloud IT because the infrastructure costs are so much lower. However in reality web services are still running on someone’s hardware and across someone’s wires and the big business guys have to know that capturing share of the cloud is where the future $’s are in IT.

At the moment we do a lot of work on Intuit’s cloud offering QuickBase but are always evaluating what other service PaaS, SaaS can offer value. We also use Amazon Web Services which I guess is more in the IaaS arena.

I’m curious to see in 5 years who the super powers are going to be. It’s naive to think that a power grab won’t occur, it’s just not clear who is going to come out on top.
