I can't say I've ever had much faith in their 'predictions'. David On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 7:57 PM, Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> wrote: Really? Gartner is saying that Cloud has entered the ?meaningless hype? stage? http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/its-official-cloud-computing-now-meaningless-169416 CIOs and CEOs still pay attention to this stuff because at least there is some effort to justify the conclusion.

Gartner, right now, is promoting the Cloud like there?s nothing else. 3 years ago it was ?outsourcing?. Now, companies are bringing resources back in-house because they realized... ?Oops? that didn?t work. You just have to be very careful with ?industry? information. It can be just as politically motivated as anything else. From: Andrew S.
