2006 was when I got hooked on to this new age concept of on-demand consumption. Things are not the same anymore & has helped one to innovate at a rapid pace & aggression. Successful start-up stories on how one achieved a hockey stick growth & repeat customers with the SAAS offering built on top of public infra (IAAS) has helped foster growth.Remember how we used to go through a week long approval cycle to just commission a demo box.
6 yrs have already passed & finally cloud is taking strong roots at both start-up as well as enterprise levels.
Kudos to Amazon for putting things together in a never before manner & are a trend setter in true sense. Even a high school kid can innovate & build an iPhone app & scale with mom-pop pocket money.
Still business challenges are there but all have a better chance to crack the impossible & think of being the next Google or Facebook or Zynga's of the world. In fact Facebook's growth & coverage is so rapid that the IPO might actually hurt them as there are limitations as to how far can you grow, unless they launch a rocket & reach out for an intergalactic mission of spreading Facebook universally.
