Cloud: "The ultimate game of scale" HERE    

In a recent issue of GigaOm.com, Marty Wolf emphasized that, "Cloud services represent the ultimate game of scale and more traditional IT players will keep investing to up their ability to compete in that arena." 

He also said, "There's another trend at work here as more small and medium businesses (SMBs) decide there's no reason to keep buying servers and storage when they can outsource all that to the cloud. Many IT incumbents remGigaOm Cloud Article 1-6-12ain ill-equipped to deal with this class of business customers."

Marty went on to state that it is one thing for EDS to outsource stuff for Kraft. They get that. But these big [IT] service companies aren't good dealing with smaller businesses. For example, EDS or (Electronic Data Systems) was the giant services company HP bought a few years back.

"That means that the tech resellers - or anyone with customer relationships with these SMBs - will buy up cloud services so they can keep those customers in the fold," Wolf concluded.
