Hybrid Cloud: The Best of Local and the Cloud

摘要

If you listen to some cloud vendors, software in the ether can do everything a local machine can, and do it cheaper and better. For some applications, batch-oriented programs for instance, that may be true. Workstations are different. Serious workstation applications where users create, test and modify their ideas in rapid succession are best served with high-performance local processing. Moore's Law tells us that processor power will essentially double every 18-24 months-so your next workstation may be at least two to three times faster than the one you've got today.
