As I write, TechCrunch has just posted updates on Cloud Computing roundtable. There have been presentations by industry bigwigs over future of the Cloud. Everybody out there has gone ballistic over the future of Clouds. Some were announcing paradigm shift in the way computing shall be done in future. Amazon, Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook all of them want to have a pie of the cloud computing. There were intriguing presentations and a peek in to them can just give one an idea about the future of computing.
But the way scenario is unfolding, we may have to tackle basic issues first. No doubt with clouds, need to buy dedicated server storage space will be done away with. The computers may not be required to have an OS. Computers may just be a hooking up device.
The presentations at cloud round-table, as I have come to know, have not tackled basic issues. Clouds will have a future it is for sure. But important thing is how the issues relating to privacy, security, reliability and accessibility of data gets addressed. We are at crossroads today, even the cloud computing roundtable has thrown more questions than answers.Time is now to get down to basics and resolve issues.
The choice will be both like software-as-a-service and as cloud platform-as-a-service, as put in by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. But FriendFeed co-founder Paul Buchheit assertion that people are not bothered where their data is getting stored, may not be correct. People would definitely like to understand and know about where their data is getting stored.
Cloud computing has to first put in all the necessary regulations in place, only then we can see some sort of things shaping up.

It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t. It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.
