- External Cloud Providers Must Be More Than Hardware Pool Providers | Open Source and Cloud Computing – loud computing provides more than scaling. It provides elasticity. That means it can expand needed enterprise software resources and contract those resources that are not needed and It can do all this on demand. On the surface, this looks like a great opportunity for new cloud services businesses to emerge. These providers would basically sell capacity to other businesses that would otherwise have to maintain enough IT to accommodate infrequent but significant spikes in usage traffic. These cloud computing vendors would be providing what is called an external cloud.

- Part I – Beware the Wolf in Blue Clothing – Appirio – The CIO’s Guide to On-Demand – Its not unexpected, a look back only a few years tells a similar story. When left trailing in disruptive innovation, large legacy vendors muddy the market while trying to play catch up. IBM's push of the private cloud concept is analogous to their and other providers 'leadership' in 'helping' develop web services standards, In reality they created substantial complexity until they could catch up. This led to a bottoms up revolution that brought about alternatives like REST.
