Since traditional software have to deal with problems of scalability and reliability, and in order to scale on these traditional architectures you need to invest a lot of money, IT departments will assign budget for new developments and evolutions that will handle scalability and reliability directly thanks to the services offered in the Scale-Out Clouds. I guess this is the goal of Azure and Caroline in the long term. <br>Server Clouds are not here to stay.<br></p>James Grid Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:28:07 -0000http://blog.jamesurquhart.com/2008/12/two-faces-of-cloud-computing.html#comment-4236732<p>actually you need to look into the Azure specifics. notably the SQL Data Services, which really are not SQL at all! Its an abstraction hiding the "relational" stuff, providing a data index. Azure is very much focused on scale out- though as you point out it also offers service bus in the sky function.</p>monkchipsSun, 07 Dec 2008 13:03:05 -0000
