Had lunch earlier this week with Bob Warfield from a company called Helpstream. Smart guy. He wrote a great piece this week on the 10 things his company no longer has to worry about now that they operate in the cloud.
Highlights include no longer worrying about server power consumption or load balancing. Bob also notes that operating in the cloud keeps you from “Worry[ing] your engineers are spending valuable time worrying about infrastructure and worse physically visiting that infrastructure instead of doing something that gives your company a distinct competitive advantage.”
ZDNet’s Larry Dignan responds that these are great in theory but cloud computing isn’t a reality yet for most companies – I think it’s actually a lot closer than Dignan says and these 10 advantages are an incentive for companies to adopt the cloud sooner.
