[ Cloud Computing ] Re: State of affairs : Moving Healthcare Appli cations to the Cloud..

The "no loss of data" thing has been a hallmark of companies like Tandem (bought by Compaq in the late 90's) and Stratus for years.  They have run the stock exchanges, ATM networks, telcos, power grids etc. worldwide, for years.  It is getting so x86 can so that, but right now only with uni-processor VMs.

When lockstepping virtual SMP is reality (I expect another year) we will see an incredible uptick in true commodity fault-tolerance.

These markets will be huge, once compliance can in fact be achieved for a variety of industries and fields.

I think that specific clouds will come for for example banking, medical companies and such. The clouds will have been developed with consideration for sox and such requirements.

those markets will be small, however the company who will start it will be able to make a fair deal of money from it.

Today,Many IT departments are evaluating the privacy, security, and
governance issues of public compute clouds, and some may decide it's a
route they're not willing to take. (See Bob Evans' related post on
InformationWeek's Global CIO blog : http://tinyurl.com/cloud1 )


On the other side ,There is much debate going on in terms of deploying
certain consumer and medical/healthcare applications with sensitive
or  personal consumer data on the cloud (http://preview.tinyurl.com/
cloud2) as being 'Un-ethical,Illegal and Untrustworthy"

Another point to consider is , Pharma /Life Sciences companies have
strict FDA and Sarbanes-Oxley related policies and compliance tightly
tied to their IT Systems and operations

Given the above, What is your viewpoint on How the trend will evolve
for this industry?

Do you think this would be one of the Industry verticals that would
see a *Lower Adoption* of cloud computing?

Do you think Technology and solutions are fast evolving that its a
matter of time before Healthcare or Pharma firms will find answers to
the challenges faced by them today? or Would the Cloud Vendors evolve
specific solutions to cater to this industry alone?

Please share your views....
