I think Apple might have put the final nail in the coffin in the term Cloud; no more will vendors want to call their offerings Cloud.
‘Cloud, isn’t that some that Apple do? Isn’t that some where people can save their iTunes? Why would I want to implement one here?’
‘Run my applications in the Cloud? We use Windows and Unix, not Macs; surely it’ll be very expensive to move all my applications to Mac!’
‘Cloud, isn’t that a bit like iCloud but not as cool and user-friendly?’
So lets hope that in their maniacal plan to take over the world, Apple have done us all a favour and killed the term Cloud in ‘corporate IT’.
First thing the missus said when I slipped up and mentioned cloud, “Aren’t you copying apple ?”
That’s just like asking “what colour is your new car?” So it doesn’t count!
