New cloud companies become IT manager’s best friend – IDG.se

American cloud companies in Exchange beats other technology companies by a wide margin while cloud technology is the hottest area for investors across the world, according to a survey by Deloitte. There may not be any surprise that the cloud is hot, but it is now that the new cloud companies are ready to seriously compete with the big boys.

Most people of the new cloud-based companies have no presence on the Swedish IT departments – yet. Still dominate the traditional suppliers, but if you believe investors around the world will soon be changed. Many of the new companies focus on selected parts of the so-called stack. Software-defined networking technology or smart way to monitor the operation and utilization of resources makes the cherry-picking by offering cutting-edge technology at a fraction of the price of what a traditional supplier can handle.

There are not so that the traditional suppliers competed by these uppstickarföretag. However, I think that newcomers will compete in selected parts of the IT environment. If companies like Oracle and EMC, together with VMware and Cisco wants to own the entire converged stack – and thus the customer – so the new cloud-based shooting that strategy in shreds. They shoot themselves in the parts where the best margins available or where it is easiest to outrank the big boys.

It is no longer clear that it stands on the Oracle database machine or EMC storage disks. An innovative CIOs can drive parts of the infrastructure in the cloud, parts installed in their own data center and choose to take advantage of new suppliers for technologies that are both efficient and makes it operations cheaper. It is no longer possible for future vendors to lock customers in the same way as today.

There are brilliant news for those who buy it.
