Clouds and CIO: ' you are a scientist or a journalist? '

As for the expert community remembered the old anecdote.

Chukotka, Chukchi, weather station.
The Chukchi are preparing for winter, turned to the shaman for the forecast. Shaman poshamanil, also said: ' winter will be cold '. Chukchi went to stock fuel (there is no wood, what they were fueled? Probably dried fish...). A shaman is thinking - ' we ought to podstahovatsya with the forecast, and then... '. Went to the scientists in the weather station:.
- How will the winter?.
- Cold.
- And how do you predict?.
- And then there is predicted: see - Chukchi hard wood, fish stock up.

We have approximately as: vendors tell us, the media repeated again, telling vendors, but with reference to the media. In the case of surveys CIO, it seems as this is the case.

Did I mention that I do not really like the CIO- event, as it may seem, more than those they arrange themselves ( in their ' Moscow Nights ' was a time three years ago, had the -. http://www. itblogs. ru/blogs/kolesov/archive/2007/09/23/21245. aspx. ). They are well talk about their internal problems, but it is not my topic is, but about a general analysis of the situation and about the technology they.
obtained in a strange.


On the one hand, they are very proud of their independence. But the flip side of independence lies in the fact that the activities need sponsors, whose voice then listen to the loudest. You go to an independent event, and get on vendorskoe. What was clearly seen by the example of their current ' cloud round table '.

I saw Mikhail Kozlov issues a plan, but it (the plan ), I initially did not like. The problems here are already visible in two of its main theses:.

A ...
There is initially set the tone: that all is fiction. The fact that the concept of 'fashion ' in IT has a clearly negative connotation such as ' fiction '.

2. 'The size of the market in Russia is not known '.
This banal statement of the problem the seller. How can ' market ' indicators to measure the trend, the concept of?.

In this regard, I would like to quote from the written but not yet published his article:.

... In terms of cloud computing - it is external, in the first public cloud. If we talk about the industry as a whole, we must understand that today the overwhelming proportion of the IT infrastructure necessary for the internal customers of the system.
Yes, from the conversations and publications sometimes get the impression that the clouds - it is only public services. But it is not. Today, public clouds - is to some extent a prototype of future IT. But the bulk of the real work takes place within companies where there are processes evlyutsionnogo shift of the IT infrastructure, created largely in the last century, in the direction of cloud models. This is a complicated, long and multifaceted processes, then we must understand that the Cloud - is a broad umbrella term that brings together different aspects of IT - architecture, products, methods of implementation and use, etc. '.

In short, the Constitutional Court initially instead of discussing the trend itself has been focused on the assessment of sales.

But even this plan (as a whole is also interesting) Michael failed to realize, however, because instead of some structured discussion (to the question about what the debate is necessary to prepare and manage them ) has turned a rather banal set of speech vendors.

There was typical for the CIO- action situation. Instead of talking to real people, the word got sponsors, vendors - Oracle, EMC, and revived in the first half in Russia CA Technologies,.
What they said (10 minutes), it is hardly worth commenting. But remember the emotional story of Victor Buryakova (Oracle, director of hardware business, it was evident that the Sun), which in waltz tempo scroll presentation of at least fifty (or even hundreds ) of slides, slide, which ended with the reassuring conclusion that Oracle .

In fact, he had some interesting abstract ( but too rapidly ), the most recent of which is this is - we in the Russian language, IT needs to move from the term ' cloud ' to ' Cloud '. I can say that the idea I expressed even a month ago (. http://cloudclub-ru. blogspot. com/2010/10/microsoft-management-summit-2010. html. , That there ' may be in the Russian language will soon be strengthened a new term -' Cloud '. In fact, it is quite logical, since the term cloud brings some confusion ').

Still remember the discussion of the debate was that the bytes and money - is a little different and comparable figures (sorry, do not fotknul schedule by which the companion of the ECM was trying to prove that the memory requirements grow much faster than IT spending, on average ).

For questions from the audience ( they were ) had the impression that the only problem for the transition to the cloud model is the law on personal data, despite the fact that no one now knows how it will apply to reality.

It seems to me that the spirit and purpose of the roundtable beautifully conveys the question I asked in a private conversation ( which took place in parallel with discussions ), one of the members ' program committee ': ' Who are you - a scientist or a journalist? ' . '). Then they all found the same and said that I was still in fifth grade have been taught that it is impossible to summarize the foot and head.

Then a round table 'Saaa Iaas and as a key trend in the industry and the clouds as a concrete manifestation of his ' ( a wonderful statement!) Ended, and I went to a press breakfast.

It was also interesting....
