Cloud Interrupted


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.

OpenText Announces The OpenText Cloud


"A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds. As you come closer to a cloud you don't get something smooth, but irregularities at a smaller scale..."    - Benoit Mandelbrot
