Great recap. There is so much marketing noise about cloud computing that it’s tough to keep up, but you hit the nail on the head. Indeed, the first go round, it seemed like all the old guard was doing was “cloud painting” — mostly re-marketing existing services as “cloud” computing. I think now we are starting to see more honest cloud computing efforts by the old guard, but the startups will still surprise us in ways none of us could have predicted.

I think that when it comes to Cloud Computing the autoscaling feature is definitely one of the trends that are going to stand out as a required feature--it juts makes sense with the pay-as-you-go model.

@jezarnold – Clearly, HP has some stake in the LAN business given their ProCurve line, as well as having a fairly dominant network management software business in Openview, but they still have had significant partnerships in networking hardware such as that with Cisco, but that changed given Cisco’s move into unified computing. You can’t be a huge integrator as HP and IBM are and not work at some level with Cisco given their dominant position in both WAN and LAN hardware.

Mr Wolf, your point – “HP and IBM, the two most spurned vendors, each found networking partners that can help them lessen their reliance on Cisco” is incorrect in regard of HP.

HP have been selling networks for over 25 years. The networking business was re-branded as ProCurve in 1998. They have been #2 Ethernet LAN vendor since 2003. Its not as if HP “found” a networking partner. They already had one.
