Now, the individual sessions, I picked Jim Blakely’s Cloud Transformation of Business Models, Architectures, and Usage. The room is packed. Mostly vendors and cloud operators, but a good number of hands went up for enterprise IT folks.
Jim opens with story about making the ASP (application service provider) rounds. Met with potential customer in IHOP to talk about $150 million data center, made him think this thing “ASP” didn’t have legs. It didn’t, it fell apart 6 months later.
Now, with 10 years of experience, believes it is real.
