Cloud Computing is one of the more disruptive trends in the IT industry today. For big enterprises, new cloud constructs can enhance the delivery of internal services from private clouds. For small businesses, Cloud Computing can offload the entire IT infrastructure required for your business.
We are all watching with interest the engineering of very high speed chips with multiple cores, and very high speed comms connectivity directly to those chips through optical connectors directly to end devices (like Light Peak). We are also watching increased broadband, including Fiber, directly to houses (like Fios, of course).
