Cloud Computing is Hyped and Overblown, Forrester s Descrição do Vídeo:
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- While cloud computing is bringing
enormous power to large and small organizations, the hype
around the trend is "over blown," says Forrester VP and
Principal Analyst Frank Gillett. I interviewed him on
Wednesday afternoon on the MIT campus.
He told me that the whole movement has lead to "cloud
envy" with companies branding existing services by "cloud
washing" -- using "cloud spray," he says.
Earlier this month he published a report on the subject.
Seems like Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is one of big
skeptics over the cloud gazing, as Dan Farber over at

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The focus of clean-tech, or as

refridgerators, which have markets worth hundreds of
billions of dollars.
Khosla has invested in a number of companies exploring
more energy-efficient technologies. "Almost any area you
