There's also SaaS - Software as a Service. I think that was the first *aaS, in fact.

All of these fall under the same umbrella of "Cloud Services". I personally think the xaaS term has run its course. With the rise of cloud services pretty much any function or application can be offered via cloud services. Hell look at what M$ is doing with Skype and Cloud PBX. Now if its smart to run them via AWS or Google Cloud, Azure or any of the other hundred or so providers is up to you. Unless your CEO sites next to some wanker on the plan ride home whole sales him on "EVERYTHING needs to be in the cloud right NOW!! or you will die." Then well, sorry...

I see Cloud services picking up more momentum this year and its just growing year after year. Hell 5 years ago who in their right mind would consider pushing phones and email to the Cloud? But now its pretty much when will you move them off prem.

Just my opinion. As always would love to hear what everyone else thinks and sees.

There's also the IaaS, Infrastructure... which I'm not crazy about. Don't pay your bill? No network for you! One's network should never ever have the potential to be held hostage by an angry vendor...

IaaS is just hosted services that marketing renamed. Honestly how it is going we wont need infrastructure in the cloud.

Sure there will still need to be hardware running and connecting everything but that is the providers issue to deal with. With Cloud, we just request apps or services, spin them up and connect into them. Who cares how they are connected.

For you security guys I got an in-person demo of zScaler a month or so ago and they have a pretty bad-ass solution for security in the cloud and mixing it into your current footprint. They are completely tearing down the traditional Internet security stack and hosting all these services for you, thus greatly simplifying this area. How they handle connections into cloud resources is also pretty awesome.

A client of mine has put their voip in the cloud after being sold by one of those cloud providers. They have a single DSL line with 3 Mbps upload and a NAS that's synchronizing 18 hours per day. Best decision ever :lol:

I'm still paranoid as hell about what could be done at/with/near a cloud provider. Concentration like that also makes it easier for government surveillance.

then one would move to a fog computing architecture,  not so far as in the cloud, but far enough towards the network edge where it's not in the mainstream network.

future tends to be leaning towards this, things that can go into the cloud, go in,  stuff that can't, goes into a fog bank close to the edge (down by the river).

Yes, a foggy bottom is better than a total cloud.
