Why on-premise private cloud matters
In this letter to the editor, CSC Australia and Asia chief technology & innovation officer Bob Hayward responds to our critical comments about the company’s recently launched BizCloud offering. Hayward is also a former director of IT advisory at KPMG and a former senior vice president and Gartner Fellow.
Hi Renai,
Glad to see you noted the CSC announcement of BizCloud in your blog this week, but obviously keen to address some of the opinions and analysis you shared in your article.
I am in agreement with you about some aspects of cloud computing. I personally don’t like the word ‘Cloud’ to describe these new ‘as-a-service’ styles of delivering IT based solutions we are now seeing in the market. It is not a word that inspires confidence, and actually has negative connotations, especially in Asia. However, the horse has well and truly bolted, so rather than try to swim against the tide, I guess we are now stuck with Cloud as the word to use, although I think the word ‘Utility’ is more descriptive and appropriate.
