Intel, Yahoo, HP join hands for cloud computing; term it ‘natural evolution of the internet’

Chip giant Intel is going to team up with Yahoo and HP for creating virtual research centres focused on cloud computing that offers online storage.

Research firm Gartner has termed cloud computing as significant e-business model that promises a wide range of new services for data and devices plugged into the cloud. Initially six data centres will be made available for researchers to test new applications.

John Manley, director of HP’s strategic research lab, said:

Cloud computing stands for a new era of computing. There will be several unanswered questions, to start with, but we want to create an environment, which can attempt to answer some of these challenges.

Apart from providing new means of storing data, cloud computing will offers new ways to utilise the data.

The web-democratised creativity allowed anyone to create something new and innovative. Cloud computing is the next logical stage for that.

To my mind it is no doubt, the natural evolution of the internet. If we look back in 15 years time from now we will be amazed by what cloud computing has allowed to happen.
