@Michael
For me beeing a technically involved person, it’s sometimes hard to look at topics with laymen’s view. Escpially an extremely hot hightech topic like clouds, grids and XaaS, which might sustainably influence the future of IT, is not easy to communicate.
As I said, youve done a good job give a insight for laymen and on the other hand laying ground for discussions with other, more involveld people.

@Roland,

Agreed. It does only scrape the surface of this evolving technology. For you and I, it probably only scrapes the surface, but to the layperson, it hopefully provides a bit more insight and a way to put one’s head around it a bit better.

I have read many mainstream articles that over-generalize and lump everything together which does more harm than good to the industry. I only hope that we can build on this idea and help other understand it better.

Thanks for the note.

I hopefully will enrich the discussion in the near future, not only by providing comments.
