Got interested in Cloud computing recently and the potential it has in revolutionizing the IT world. This distributed computing model is akin to the commoditization and distribution of electricity a century ago. Google, Amazon, IBM, Yahoo! and Microsoft will fight this battle and the winners would emerge as the utility computing leaders of tomorrow. Jeff Bezos' EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) initiative has been catching up with the SMBs. Yahoo!'s Hadoop support which is the Open source distributed computing leader places it at an advantage. Google is investing $2billion a year in data centers and is the leader in cloud computing. My bet is on Google-IBM and Amazon winning the cloud computing war.
