I don't know why I am still reading this list ... :) I think because it is still funny from time to time and because I tried to unsubscribe some time ago and wasn't able because of a firewall from the location I was trying to send the e-mail :)) But still the man was trying to say that: those that weren't (given their conservative attitude) willing to outsource, now, because of the financial crisis, will outsource. Outsourcing is cheaper as you know already I believe. (Ok I might start an argument here but please indulge me ... :) ). The plumbing means infrastructure. I like him, he's kinda like an green circuit boarded poet. :) Anyway, those that have the technology to receive and fulfill those requests for outsourcing (the cloud computing enabled providers) will break those attitudes. I might argue with him here from the less technical point of view (God, is this really happening on the redhat list??? :))) ) and tell him that it should be more of the crisis's effect. But like someone stated before I don't believe in cloud computing that passes the LAN borders not from the IT perspective nor from the business one. Hope I shade some light on the redhat-it/philosophic-list muahahaha Cheers mates On Tue, 2009-05-19 at 09:52 +0200, Smith Jack (Ext. - UGIS - UniCredit Group) wrote: > > Jose R R Wrote > > -- snip -- > > > > Here is the rephrased paragraph: > > > > Current economic conditions are dragging conservative attitudes into > outsourcing their IT plumbing; cloud computing platform providers are > the receivers or beneficiaries of exactly that (traditionally > conservative corporate IT) outsourcing.
