Comments on: Cloud Computing vs. SOA: Look for a cross-over in hype http://ctovision.com/2009/07/cloud-computing-vs-soa-look-for-a-cross-over-in-hype/ News, analysis and context on enterprise technology for the CTO Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:01:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Wayne Parks http://ctovision.com/2009/07/cloud-computing-vs-soa-look-for-a-cross-over-in-hype/#comment-413 Wayne Parks Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:31:19 +0000 http://ctovision.com/?p=1064#comment-413 Bob, the trend seems intuitively obvious but as you state, it is truly dependent on the varying definitions of SOA and Cloud Computing. I am finding that understanding the definitions coming from the various professional markets determines the distinguishing factors between SOA and Cloud Computing. One credential that both must have is a flexible operating environment for the users (whomever they may be). In the end, the users must be able to operate freely without disruption to their mission and functions. This is critical to all definitions.

Without appropriate vendor/technology agnostic planning and designing, implementations will fail just the same as in the past, especially from an enterprise perspective.

That focus on the mission is something that was driven into me in the fleet and I still believe it now. I'll get you my list of top cloud IT players. It would be good to chat with you about that someday. Bob Thanks Joe. That focus on the mission is something that was driven into me in the fleet and I still believe it now.

To many in the IC believe SOA is just the enterprise buss, but you don't get effective SOA without orchestration which demands knowing what you are trying to do with your capabilities. Same for Cloud ---- what is it you want Cloud Computing do. That should drive decision about Cloud implementation ------ not some as yet incomplete definition for cloud computing or adherence to some externally derived reference architecture. And yes I would like your list of top cloud IT players thanks joemaz Well said Bob.
