Came to your blog while I was googling for some research info to use in a business plan for a client intending to enter the Cloud market. Your blogs are insightful and quite interesting. Will come again!

Not much of the above text was used on the B2B marketing site, but at least I got name-checked! See the article entitled CRM ANALYSIS: Cloud computing - In search of the silver lining.

Comment on The future of cloud computing in Scotland by drmiw

With the imminent bailout of the Irish economy and the potential failure of other European economies, I don’t think there’ll be much new EU money going into Scoland in the near future, but if a good business case can be made based on green data centres and renewable energy then you never know.

Could there be a case for EC funding? It would certainly relieve the pressure on the London sites and could act as a backup should the London sites fail.

I was impressed with the idea of selling heat to offset running costs.

It surprised me, too. According to the conversations I have had with people in the IT industry in Scotland the case has been made to have a back-up system for Scotland in a different location, but the government is unwilling to lend their support because of the costs involved. Here are a couple of links to lists of internet exchanges, by the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_exchange_points_by_size and http://www.euro-ix.net/resources/list/; and here is a map of them: http://www.datacentermap.com/ixps.html. As for the main internet hub for Scotland, there was ScotIX, which was set up in 1999 but I don’t know if it’s still going or not – the website (scotix.org) disappeared in around 2005 – see http://web.archive.org/web/20041204042744/www.scotix.org/scotixhome.html for a blast from the past.
