Cloud Confusion

Cloud computing and industry related terms can be confusing. For example, do you know the difference between SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and On-Demand? Private and public clouds? Fabric managment?

As a product management consultant I work with many companies that are trying to make sense of the technology and business opportunity that cloud computing offers both vendors and customers. Given the massive (and growing) buzz around cloud computing, it can be particularly challenging to align product teams, development and executives --- each with a unique ear.

To that end, I recently came across two sites that can help decipher the industry lingo. They also provide an extensive list of niche service providers (this can save you hours of research!). If you are in the industry or an ISV considering cloud computing options --- I recommend you bookmark these sites.

Enjoy!

FYI -Fabric Management is a service vendors provide to help you manage and deploy your application in the cloud. This varies from features that allow you to design a virtual data center, to auto-scaling an application when load increases, to monitoring cloud servers to restart them if they fail.
