Clouds in general may be sleeping giants of climate change - true ?

I was listening to one of the documentaries on "Thunderheads" where a daring group of scientists tries to catch the Perfect storm across Darwin in Australia. International cloud experiment is what they call themselves. During their research they realize that clouds are indeed sleeping giants and they have ability to trap heat and reflect sunlight back into space.

So how is this related to our cloud in the whole cloud computing space? I believe that cloud computing is a sleeping giant and organizations are yet to realize the potential of the same. Once it’s unearthed it’s beyond doubt going to change the rules of Information technology. If the demand heats up will the cloud coverage change? That is the question which most of us simply don’t know but part of the answer lies with the enterprises or large organizations and cloud vendors as they are the clouds that make the cloud. Going forward it’s going to be collaboration amongst all of them which will keep the cloud sparkly.

  1. Good comparision. I have started writing on cloud computing, to explain its concept and developments, in layman terms. Please visit http://sudhirkirloskar.blogspot.com and let me know your feedback.
