Internal clouds will benefit only large organizations and this will not make any difference in terms IT investment if a small business owner jumps in to internal hosting. For small business, cost effective and productive approach would be to find a reliable SaaS vendor and adopt pay per use model.

Internal clouds may offer certain benefits, but are again only viable for large organizations. The cost of setting up an “internal cloud” would much exceed even on premise software at the smaller scale of SMBs.

Cloud computing?!?! What exactly is it that “cloud computing” brings to the table that wasn’t already there under names like “hosted Applications”, “Application Service (providers)” “SaaS” etc. – is that really the hight of innovation these days – Call it something new every three to five years and our customers will think we’re really innovative? and now “Internal Cloud”?? I think you mean Intranet – they’ve been around for at least 15 years (Thats how long I’ve been selling them).
The greatest innovation of them all has got to be the revolutionary step up from actual TALK to 140 character text messaging – allow me to attempt to predict the future innovation in communication: I beleive that text messaging, through intense R&D will evolve into morse code, posibly followed by simple binary (8 character messages) and with a bit of luck sometime in the distant future (in a galaxy far away) we might be able to wrap our minds around incomprehensible and abstract technologies like smoke signals!!! (I know, I know – It’s as far out as Star Trek).
My apologies for not hyperventilating at the thought of “cloud computing” but it’s nothing but old wine in new bottles helped along by increasing bandwidth and a dash of web 2.0 (another over hyped expression).
What would be really cool is a way to download a pizza and a 2 liter Coke – when “there’s an app for that” I might pee in my pants of excitement!
