Managed Services

Cloud Services is not a new idea.  In fact, it's been around for more than thirty years.  Remember mainframe? Mainframe was effectively a virtualization service, using the old "green screen" as the user interface.  With the advent of Windows and other pioneering operating systems and applications, users wanted a more feature rich and aesthetically pleasing operating environment. And this amongst other reasons, caused a shift in the late eighties/early nineties to decentralize the mainframe, placing that computing need on the computer desktop or laptop.  As we can see, this centralization/decentralization is cyclical because here we are once again centralizing are computing needs through virtualization services.  So why did this come to be?  Good question - and I'll answer that in my next blog.

Go Cloud!
