Platform as a Service & Cloud Computing

I think SaaS is the name of the game between of Enterprise Software and Internet (meaning all the online stuff from today to the future). It's a reality. And it’s just a matter of how the thing evolves. But what about Cloud Computing & PAAS .... a tough call, since they are both more experimental, at alpha stages, not mature, and fighting to be defined. 
| I think Cloud Computing is a kind of hosting, collocation, VPS, or remote server.... mixed with parallel computing or distributed computing. As the main idea is to remote infrastructure; and parallel/distributed computing is a field for a few chosen. I believe Cloud Computing is going nowhere. At the end, it’s just infrastructure. And... PAAS... no clear path between Cloud Computing and SaaS ... It may be possible to find a business niche, as a common denominator between several SaaS (sharing a platform). Even it may be possible to stimulate the development of SaaS following a Platform/Standard, providing value added services to an ecosystem. I'm setting the idea in the "wait and see" status. As final conclusion, there's too much anxiety about Cloud Computing & PASS mixed, let's give them 2-5 years to see how they settle. |
PD: Don't need to mention, SaaS is beyond this point, with clear successful cases. PD2: DANGER, be aware, don't try to mix SaaS with PaaS or Cloud Computing. Please, realize you are doubling the risks. For example, a "SaaS new product-service" based on "Cloud Computing" !! To manage the risk, play only with one variable. (.... and please, don't sell it as a feature)
