So it seems my previous blog where I employed a Mandelbrot quotation
about clouds in the context of the OTEX-ESIC acquisition, may have been taken
the wrong way. Let me put that to rest
before more of you get your knickers all in a bunch.
I used Mandelbrot’s quote because it stemmed from his
lifelong research as a mathematician and as an “IBMer” who is known as the “father of fractal geometry”. His perspectives of “clouds” are a parallel thought
of sorts: As you get closer, there are more complexities.
Today’s cloud computing environments certainly have more complexities
as you get a closer look.
