Large organisations are moving to cloud for IT services
Large organisations in South Africa are increasingly adopting cloud computing as they realise it doesn't always pay to own their own information technology systems. The concept of accessing processing power, data storage facilities or software on tap has been around for years, but a lack of affordable bandwidth and experienced service providers made it a potentially risky business.

Why cloud computing will kill programming - and make us all developers
We've been promised all sorts of benefits from cloud computing: faster development, cheaper applications - and even a recession-friendly switch from capex to opex for IT projects. All of this is marvellous news for the CIO, but could it be that the cloud is anything but good news for the humble techie?

Cloud computing growth will make the datacentre stronger
Some say that cloud computing will be like the PC revolution all over again. The availability of commodity services will convince everyone that they’re IT experts and they don’t need a CIO to tell them how to create a new system.

Campus Computing Survey: Mobile Apps Grow, Cloud Adoption Slow
The results of a nationwide survey about technology in higher education suggest that the growth of mobile computing on campus has been dramatic in the last year, but that despite the attention paid to cloud computing, most universities are taking a wait-and-see approach for most applications beyond e-mail.

Cloud computing proving popular as economy toughens
A recent report from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has shown that in the year ahead firms are planning to invest in IT, but scaling back spending on other items such as land, buildings, vehicles, plant and machinery, with the most commonly cited factors being the uncertainty about demand and business prospects, and an inadequate return on investment.

3 reasons cloud app development is taking off
Plenty of analyst reports are showing the growth of cloud computing, along with the fact that PaaS (platform as a service) is picking up steam in 2011.
