Comments on: Classification of Cloud Computing Stakeholders http://markusklems.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/classification-cloud-computing/ Random Thoughts of Markus Klems Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:36:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Paul Laskin http://markusklems.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/classification-cloud-computing/#comment-243 Paul Laskin Mon, 09 Mar 2009 03:15:31 +0000 http://markusklems.wordpress.com/?p=57#comment-243 Markus, Great visual view of the 3 layered cloud universe. I've been using a similar structure: IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. My view of IaaS is similar to yours. Where I differ slightly is in the definition of the next 2 layers. Above IaaS, sits PaaS a layer upon which one can build and deliver solutions. There are two general types of users here - builders and consumers. Examples include Google App Engine for Python, Heroku for Ruby apps, etc.. The final layer is software as a service. Here sits all the great apps (salesforce.com, liquidplanner) and even those apps that are built and delivered through PaaS. Of course, nothing is clear cut and the solutions mapped to these layers frequently cross boundaries. Salesforce.com has their developer environment sticking into the PaaS layer for example.

It takes what is such a complex layering of products and services and simplifies it. I noticed that in your IaaS diagram you included quite a few of the vendors but did not list Terremark. I would encourage you to take a look at the enterprise cloud offering, which you can see at www.theenterprisecloud.com. Terremark has built a platform that is already being used by enterprise clients. Sincerely, Ryan McDermott Hi Markus,
