This week, John “The Cloud to Everyone’s Silver-lining” Willis<\/a> and I<\/a> start out talking about the recent spate of cloud-bashing, from Messieurs<\/i> Larry<\/a> and Stallman<\/a>. Partly in response, I point out a nice piece from Savio Rodrigues<\/a> in reply to all this trough of disillusionment talk. Bouncing off some Gnip gnews<\/a>, I ask John about the revenue for things like Amazon EC2: can you really survive off $0.40\/month\/customer? We also discuss the implications of Windows running in the cloud, on Amazon EC2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mid-way through, we’re joined by Zenoss<\/a>‘s Brandon Whichard<\/a>. We start out discussing the idea of “market-places” that I’ve been seeing getting attention of late (see yesterday’s debriefing that mentioned Zoho marketplace<\/a>). Brandon points out the common theme here: the return of making money off software.<\/p>\n

Having worked with Brandon over the years, I ask him for his take on IT Management (he having departed into Identity Management for 4 years and recently come back). After John asks about the next part of the enterprise stack to be commoditized, we get into a lengthy discussion of reporting in IT Management: it never seems to do perfectly what users want, why is it that?<\/p>\n
