Cloud computing changes the way the channel attacks the market and is “not something for the faint of heart.”
But the cloud creates four distinct flavors of solution providers that put their own spin on cloud and SaaS models. And the market is ripe for all four types of cloud solution providers to take advantage of to make money.
“I think we all understand the cloud is very cool,” said Treb Ryan, CEO of cloud provider OpSource in his keynote address Wednesday at the All About The Cloud conference in San Francisco. Ryan said the cloud is cheap, fast, delivers flexibility, while offering interfaces that unlock new computing capabilities.
“The cloud is completely self-service,” he said. “It’s not something for the fiat of heart. It’s not something you can do easily.”
