Gartner’s top 10 predictions on IT futures
Gartner: By 2011, early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and instead purchase 40 per cent of their IT infrastructure as a service.
Our take: The key term here is “early technology adopters.” For startups and new projects, purchasing infrastructure as a service, such as from Amazon, Joyent, HP, Sun or salesforce.com, will be common. As for the Big Switch from individual data centers to most infrastructure delivered to businesses like electricity, the ramp will be far longer.
