IT Analyst Dan Kusnetzky Talks about Cloud Computing and Cloud Hype (Video)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday July 11, 2013 @09:32AM from the the-more-the-buzzwords-chaange-the-more-things-stay-the-same dept.

Dan Kusnetzky and I started out talking about cloud computing; what it is and isn't, how "cloud" is often more of a marketing term than a technical one, and then gradually drifted to the topic of how IT managers, CIOs, and their various bosses make decisions and how those decisions are not necessarily rational. What you have here is an 18-minute seminar about IT decision-making featuring one of the world's most experienced IT industry analysts, who also writes a blog, Virtually Speaking, for ZDnet.

Don't reference Dilbert. If you must, get it right by they_call_me_quag · 2013-07-11 10:31 · Score: 5, Informative

I stopped watching after three minutes.
The first two minutes were like "Cloud computing for kindergartners". In minute three he referenced a Dilbert comic, which is bad. He got the reference wrong, which is even worse. (Here's the comic in question for anyone who still cares about Dilbert: http://dhansen.cs.georgefox.edu/~dhansen/Classes/DBMS/sqldb.gif)
Perhaps this fellow had some brilliant stuff to say in minutes 4-18.... perhaps not.
