What the Hell is Cloud Computing?

By Subraya Mallya | Topics - Cloud Computing

I know every one and their grandfather has their own definition of Cloud Computing. As we go through the blogs, marketing paraphernalia we keep seeing the definition of cloud computing evolve or disintegrate. So I thought what would some of the top technology leaders feel and think of Cloud Computing. (No I did not pick the order based on their unbridled opinion rating).

I will start of with Larry Ellison, the oracle of software industry. Most opinionated and mostly correct, as history has proven, sometimes a few years later. Did I mention he is funny too?.

Then we go to Larry’s mini-me Marc Benioff, who is the posterchild for SaaS. You might have heard Larry himself giving his protege a plug in his video. Sorry, Marc was not available for a video shoot so he sent his marketing powerpoint (or is Google Presentation) on his behalf

Then we go up north from Silicon Valley to Redmond and see what the third most opinionated technology leader Steve Ballmer has to say.
