Roman Stanek, during his opening keynote at the Cloud Computing Conference & Expo Europe in Prague today, said "Big server vendors such as HP, Sun, Dell, Microsoft, as well as monolithic app providers will be among the losers of the Cloud Computing revolution, while innovation, SMBs, and the little guys will be the winners of the Cloud."

In his presentation, titled: "Building Great Companies in the Cloud," Stanek - a technology visionary who has spent the past fifteen years building world-class technology companies - talked about what it means to be 'born on the cloud.' Specifically he shared with delegates his thoughts on how to use cloud computing as a technical design center; how to take advantage of the economics of cloud computing in building and operating cloud services; how to dramatically change customer adoption; and how to plan for the technical and operational scale that cloud computing makes possible.
SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Conference & Expo Europe, held on May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic, is the first major cloud event in Europe and is co-located with SYS-CON's Virtualization Conference Europe 2009. The next event is the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Santa Clara, CA, November 2-4, 2009, co-located with the the 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo.
Stanek's presentation can be downloaded here.

Enabled by virtualization technologies, an ever-increasing number of companies now buying computing, storage, and networking power as they need it from the cloud, it is hardly surprising that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series is going from strength to strength.
Now held three times a year, in New York, Prague, and Silicon Valley, the event unfailingly attracts developers, engineers, architects, IT managers, and hardware and software professionals of every stripe.

Liz, thanks for reporting on this, I’ve heard this take on cloud in other forums as well. While Dell wasn’t able to attend the Europe Expo, I wish I could have been on hand to hear the full context of Roman’s talk. I agree with his assertion on who some of the winners will be in cloud but I’m not as sure about the losers he lists out. Computation has to take place somewhere, be it locally or in the cloud, and new architecture possibilities are creating usage models and demand for even more and more of it. Innovation is happening. On the app side Microsoft has been shooting ahead of the duck for quite some time with the investments they’re making in Azure. At Dell we stood up a division two years ago to build gear optimized for cloud infrastructure. It’s taking us to some interesting places, like http://budurl.com/4t76 Cloud will give both SMBs and large enterprises more choices and new efficiencies, as long as IT providers remain focused on how to best deliver there’s going to be a lot more winning than losing! |

The cloud crashes make major new stories. We've got two things occurring right now. We've got a massive move into the cloud. That was my first prediction.

Frankly I’ve grown weary of the debates over the security of cloud computing.
