Virtualization in the data center allows hardware to be reused for multiple
services and provides a mechanism to extract more value out of a hardware
purchase. Virtualization also allows new business models like Amazon Web
Services, where the virtualization is leveraged to provide hardware for rent.
That model combined with scale allows for a dynamic resource allocation that
is very attractive for start-ups that do not have an IT workload that is
either constant or predictable.
Scientific research is much like the workload of a web service start-up:
potentially heavy but highly unpredictable. In this context, the work on
virtual workspaces that is done by the globus community is very interesting.
The Virtual Workspace Service provides an open source in... (more)

The shift created by SaaS as well as Cloud Computing is retargeting the IT
supported business process services towards the mid-market where it will
proliferate in a very different direction. The value that is created by the
on-demand capacity inherent to Cloud Computing is the big differentiator here
for both startup and established business.
Whereas SaaS is predomi... (more)
