| الوصف: | Many vendors dream about making it big in the cloud, but licensing Web apps is a fiercely competitive market with rampant risks. Software as a service must overcome several challenges to prove itself as a successful business model. C loud computing was the key buzzword of 2010 in IT media, confirming Gart-ner analysts ’ prediction that it would be the year’s top trend and leading them to predict similar excitement in 2011.1 Software and Web apps vendors are indeed buy-ing into the promise of cloud expansion, with both large and small businesses increasingly consi-dering this form of application delivery.2,3 Unfor-tunately, too many developers are envisioning unlimited demand, overlooking obstacles to busi-ness adoption, and designing complex products with short life spans—in effect putting their businesses on a straight road to bankruptcy. IT leaders look-ing at Web apps solely from a technical feasibility viewpoint fail to understand the industry dynamics and the market-related and legal risks involved. We offer a reality check of the Web apps land-scape, where cloud technology could replace tradi-tional Web architectures in key market segments. We begin with an outline of the cloud industry ecosystem and analyze the implications for the next Web apps architecture. The Cloud Industry Ecosystem Cloud computing comprises three service models4: • software as a service (SaaS), which delivers device-independent Web apps with Web ser-vices extensions; • platform as a service (PaaS), which hosts a development environment for mashing up composite processes and apps; and • infrastructure as a service (IaaS), which deploys high-end apps configured for elastic comput-ing resources. The software layer seems to be a good proxy for the entire cloud industry. Over the next five years, industry analysts predict a 15 percent |
