Cloud Computing: Beyond the Hype

June 2, 2009

Analysis of:McKinsey Cloud Computing Report Conclusions Don't Add Up | www.cio.com

Cloud computing is here to stay, but isn’t likely to take over the IT world.  Every new technology seems to go through a hype cycle where it will allegedly solve all the problems in the IT world.  Then later it quietly settles into an appropriate niche.  Cloud computing seems likely to follow this same pattern.

Security Technology Vendors, Too Little Too Late?

March 30, 2009

Analysis of:Cyber crime profits running into trillions of dollars | www.itnews.com.au

Information security technology vendors have been trying to catch up with the hacker community with little success in the last couple years.  Most of their tools are out of date the day that they are released for sophisticated attacks.  The hacker community has become more organized and focused on their goal to quietly make money through the use of malicious software and social engineering without advertising their capabilities.  The vendor community needs to change the fundamental ways the design and produce technology or at a minimum reset expectations on the value proposition of their capabilities if they are to continue to drive value and not become commoditized in enterprise information technology environments.

Oracle Buys Everyone!

February 23, 2009

Analysis of:Oracle: Prescient Purchases | seekingalpha.com

Oracle is one of the few companies with both the cash and the prescience to take advantage of the current economy by snapping up dozens of undervalued companies.  When the downturn is over Oracle will emerge even stronger than before.  Their direction is to cover the broad market as well as every small niche.

Who Will Cisco Buy?

February 17, 2009

Analysis of:Cisco eyes acquisition to spur growth | www.iht.com

Prospects of an acquisition by Cisco will drive up any company’s market cap.  The people who know Cisco’s intentions can’t talk, so the whole topic becomes a guessing game.  The game continues because investors are desperate for good news, and an acquisition by Cisco in many cases is the only near-term hope.

Analysis of:Dell Prepares To Dial Into Smartphone Marketplace | online.wsj.com
