Google&#39;s (GOOG) App Engine is a cloud for running Python applications; EngineYard is a cloud for Ruby-on-Rails; Amazon&#39;s (AMZN) EC2 and S3 provide generic compute and storage clouds, and so forth. While each of these companies addresses a vertical market need, I believe that by 2018, clouds will instead be evaluated based on three generic criteria: transactions, user experience, and presence. And as with any active market, it&#39;s a safe bet there will be plenty of companies that best showcase each of them.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/businesstransactionmanagement.blogspot.com\/2008\/12\/business-transaction-managements.html\">Business Transaction Management: Business Transaction Management&rsquo;s Challenges<\/a> &#8211; Business Transaction Management (BTM) is a natural continuation of the past decade and a half&#39;s evolution of IT systems management. In the past few years the modern data center has finally started to stabilize; the number of node types has become constant and each node has had tools developed for it.\n<p>These silo specific tools are now able to solve 90% of the problems; leaving us with the hardest to solve &#8211; last ten percent. This last ten percent is characterized, for example, by those application bottlenecks that occur even though all of the silo specific tools are showing 100% availability.<\/p>\n<p>If the monitoring tools at all tiers are showing 100% availability then how does one know that there is a problem? Well, either the enterprise has put in place an end user measurement tool or the help desk is receiving user complaints.<\/p>\n<p>The IT organization&#39;s number one priority is very simple; ensure that all transactions are executing correctly and in a timely manner &ndash; it&#39;s that simple.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Links that I have found interesting for December 15th: BSM 2.0 by Jean-Pierre Garbani &#8211; Forrester Research &#8211; BSM Will Become Irrelevant Without A 2.0 Evolution It&#39;s 2018: Who Owns the Cloud? &#8211; Today, cloud computing offerings are application-specific frameworks that are run by companies both large and small.
