You have the new breed of cloud management systems (Rightscale, Elastra, Scalr, etc), the virtualization vendors(VMware), Microsoft, and the old guard of systems management (Tivoli, BMC, etc) all competing to manage hybrid cloud environments. Plus, I think we’ll see others develop bridge or glueware that allows management systems of one type to play nicely in their non-native realm (e.g. making Tivoli cloud-aware or making Rightscale more enterprise IT aware).

This is indeed the next battleground for the big tech firms. Cloud services allow companies to focus on their core competence and product portfolio, leaving IT LAN/WAN/Mobile to IBM, NSN, ALU, Ericsson, Huawei, etc.

“Boxes” have become commodity, IT talents are scarce but services have margin. I predict more consolidation and would not be surprised if Cisco enters the services space by 2010 to get their share of a $100-$150 services market for converged managed services in the LAN and WAN + mobile (recent Business Week article refers to Cisco as having a stretch goal of becoming an IT powerhouse).

Dedicated servers, co-located equipment leased with the heft of a larger balance sheet can sure beat the cost of an outsourced cloud solution if an organization’s IT team is ‘cloud ready’. But do look at Amazon’s plans for enterprises as opposed to their normal pricing before you compare the numbers.
