[Capi-bof] Cloud Standards Roadmap

Tue Mar 24 05:42:23 CDT 2009

Hello Sam,

I think that it would be very important adding to your "model" a layer
dedicated to the Calculus (CPU or computing power) question, such as GRID
computing or things like AMD Render Fusion.  I think that both IaaS, PaaS or
SaaS are layers well defined, but none of them contains attributes that
could be considered useful to the computing or calculus power paradigm.

In the follow up of other things that I've presented, and also in the same
perspective that others also have done, I could resume my (naive) view or
model in the following layered sequence:

SaaS - end-users
PaaS - developers and entrepreneurs
IaaS - IT administrators
GRID or other  complex processing solutions that would deploy specific large
amount of computing power - scientific or technical advance solutions
