  • Quote

    "Every decade or so, the computer industry's pendulum swings between a preference for software that's centrally located and programs that instead reside on a user's personal machine. It's always a balancing act, but today's combination of high-speed networks, sophisticated PC graphics processors, and fast, inexpensive servers and disk storage has tilted engineers toward housing more computing in data centers." —Aaron Ricadela, BusinessWeek BusinessWeek: Computing Heads for the Clouds (November 16, 2007)
