Since executives from Google and Microsoft talked about cloud computing in the first half of this year, it began a frantic race to see who is ahead with cloud computing services. All the great players that we know of already have their own cloud solution. And even with the brand name, they strategically designed and promoted their solutions to make their grip on market stronger.

According to Nicholas Carr, in his recent presentation, the company that does not invest in cloud computing solutions or cloud servers will be quickly obsolete and doomed to failure.

Even you will see the mass amount of reduction of energy consumption and pollution emitted by data centers and ICT sectors. What nobody wants to say about the dark side means that these comings and goings of technology fads which appear as if by magic and losing their place in stardom to new waves of emerging technologies.
