Agreed. the market need to reinvent itself to boost noise and justify ceo expenditures. this is just one attempt that is as you say the same we have with a different name.
now, who creates this terms? the big it companies. why? they need excuses to show r&d, they need excuses to keep talking their customers, etc.
we all now, this is not big money unless you hit the crowded end user segment…
have a great year

Agree that the (X)aaS naming is becoming somewhat of a cliche, since they’re all variations of a managed service offering.

Regardless, the trend is compelling for anyone in a large enterprise that’s had to wait for a new business capability to be delivered by a legacy internal IT group that’s consumed by the day-to-day operations.

The drudgery associated with managing fundamental infrastructure is inhibiting the talent in IT organizations from focusing on strategic business technology applications.

We’re now getting to the point where we can move many IT processes outside the datacenter and into ‘the cloud’ (sorry, had to use the term). Not just processing and storage but full-blown solutions (DR, software dev, etc).

They totally miss the big picture. Ultimately cloud computing is about NOT having to worry about managing infrastructure. Their view seems rather bias.
