The Cloud Computing Market Education Market Needs Many CIOs see cloud computing as a problem, when it may be the solution and the possibility to move closer to the business-end of their companies. Cassio Dreyfuss Gartner's Research VP Within this context, the existence of a neutral forum is necessary, where technology suppliers and consumers can meet to clarify all issues concerning the adoption of Cloud Computing. Myths and frequent questions: Public or private cloud? What is the best approach? When is it better to migrate? Is there any available methodology for evaluation without vendor influence? CIOs see cloud computing as a threat to their power. If most of the qualified workforce is employed in the cloud providers, the number of jobs in the IT industry is going to shrink dramatically. Choosing the wrong cloud technology provider could lead to vendor/supplier lock-in. 6
