Evolving clouds

It seems to me that cloud stuff is now merging with lots of others into what we might call "nexgen IT platforms" (no doubt someone will call it "IT3.0")

Client/server evolved to Software As A Service reducing the demand for desktop resources and faster upgrades; Shared Services Centres provided secure off-site execution services enabling faster upgrades; Virtualisation reduces the number and variety of servers and power demand also enabling faster upgrades; Green hardware reduces power consumption ....

Migration paths are now key; scope for consultancy ;-)
