   هی, پل. I always love to read your stuff.

   I saw that line too, and thought it was just as provocative… اما, I believe they stopped short of saying multi-tenant. پس, my take on it is that the superset would apply where the software is “in the cloud,” and leveraging multi-tenant infrastructure perhaps, but not multi-tenant application layer, at least for now.

   And in that sense, I tend to agree with the statement, in that the “cloud,” meaning a hosted and managed solution does now and/or will offer a superset of on-premises capabilities.

   مثلا, my customers get a dedicated, full-featured SharePoint that we allow them to customize (equal to on-premise), along with a 99.9% uptime guarantee SLA, and performance SLA, on a solution that leverages our shared infrastructure platform to optimize costs and enable highly dynamic scaling, so they pay for only what they use of bandwidth, storage, computing capacity, licenses, غیره.

   Plus, we have tremendous networking capabilities for connecting the system to customer’s users around the world, so they don’t have to give up as much as they might think in terms of network performance. On top of that, they can leverage our ICDS content delivery network and/or optionally apply WAN optimization (Riverbed, مثلا) to the solution to boost network performance even further. The option for remote BLOB storage is there as well, and that can be pointed to our Storage as a Service platform to get cheap storage for older or non-critical data.

   Then you have to consider that many companies lack state of the art data centers in multiple locations around the world. A provider who can make that available easily offers a tremendous value for geo-distributed corporations.

   When you put all that together, it is a lot more than most CIOs can match on-premise.

      I think you make a great case for the cloud there.

      I think that companies still worry about:
      – Monthly costs
      – Customer service
      – Security of data
      – Integrating their cloud data with their on-prem systems. مثلا, custom SQL databases (an issue I’m working out with a client right now).
      – چیزهای دیگر بدون شک

      To a small extent, this is sort of like the old javascript / cookie issue. We actually had design requirements that said that our web pages needed to work reasonably well if the user turned off cookies and disallowed javascript and we’d actualy advertise that our stuff worked without the need for these “potential security problems”. این روزها, no one even bothers to support users that won’t accept cookies or disable javascript on their browser.
