The “Scalable Computing” section of the Digital Systems Knowledge Transfer Network has published an “article, called “Cloud – why now?” by me, Dave Levy. It is a brief article looking at some of  the thoughts I developed over the last year about why organisations are developing new architectural models for IT delivery and how they’ll do it. It looks at the computer science, the economics and the way in which scale is self fulfilling. The scale of the problem, of which there are three dimensions, (data, complexity & connectivity) inspires scalable IT, which itself enables the scale of the solution, and enables higher levels of scale.

ooOOOoo

When I copied the blog article accross from snipsnap, I tested some of the links which failed, not sure if it’s been hacked, down for maintenance or a victim of the Tory led coalitions cuts. Anyway, the article is available here….
