Go Do Cloud … The Perfect Digital Toolbox in Building The Future
Cloud Computing is amazing!
An apology
Let me start with an apology. I apologise for the graphic of some clouds for Cloud Computing in this article. Why? Because like cybersecurity - where there are often graphics of young male persons with hoodies looking at some JavaScript code on multiple screens in dimly light rooms — there are very few good representations of Cloud Computing in a photographic form.
So, you will have to do with a few clouds. Anyone, I’m from Scotland, and I love clouds .. they are beautiful and bring life to our world.
Introduction
We live in a legacy digital world. We created something in the 1980s, that we have never freed ourselves from. The digital world of the client-server infrastructure is a static one, and, if we need more resources, we just scale up what we have, with more servers, more disks, and more memory. It is an old digital world. Our core understanding is that a box, and that data is a whole lots of disks that sit in our server room. That’s the way the Internet grew — by buying things we could touch and feel. It made us feel good when we created server rooms with beautiful brands such as Cisco, Dell and IBM. As they say, “No-one was ever fired, by buying IBM”.
