Comments on: On Joyent and "Cloud Computing", Part 1 of Many http://joyeur.com/2009/03/17/on-joyent-and-cloud-computing-part-1-of-many/ Joyent's Weblog Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:03:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Alexis Le-Quoc http://joyeur.com/2009/03/17/on-joyent-and-cloud-computing-part-1-of-many/#comment-4027 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 06:45:53 +0000 http://joycomad.joyent.us/blog/uncategorized/on-joyent-and-cloud-computing-part-1-of-many/#comment-4027 I have to say that, in the long run (3-5 years), I’m curious to see how smaller “cloud” players will survive, not being able to extract the same economies of scale than the google/amazon/microsoft of this world. The issues of security and trust can be solved contractually or architectonically, though we’re not there yet. Once there are standard patterns to store and use data on someone else’s infrastructure have been figured out, pricing is likely to become an ever increasing differentiating factor, assuming an equal ability to maintain a decent level of service — decent, not perfect.

I’m very impressed that you are being so transparent and security-focused. I would disagree that Amazon is “competent” in this case. My company is an Amazon customer, and I’ve done some research on their privacy and security:

Thank you for doing what the big companies will never ever do – maintaining accountability. This really means a lot, and I hope I see Joyent owning the AWS datacenters in a few years :-)

I look forward to reading your thoughts on where Joyent is headed.
