Cloud Computing is the Silver Lining as Dark Clouds surround Global Markets !.

Global Markets are crashing like Nine Pins, the future looks bleak, the US is predicted to be heading to a double dip recession and the world towards economic doom.
The global markets are covered with Dark Clouds of the impending financial tsunami.



Business will recover in this tough situation only cost reduction and migrating to the Cloud offers an opportunity to save on Technology Costs.
When you have no money to spend the resistance to adoption of the Cloud will diminish and the Business will innovate and use the Cloud.
The Cloud is an opportunity which Business needs to clasp with both hands like an answer to a drowning persons prayer.
The cloud is not a dying man's straw to clutch, it is resilient, mature and is working for a number of enterprises and entrepreneurs across the world. The Cloud today is strong like a 100 year old Oak Tree.
The cloud will be the Silver Lining for Business to come out valiant from these hard times and provides an opportunity to  clean their technology systems in their organizations. With scarce money the OPEX model of Cloud computing will be be an ideal solution for cash starved businesses.
We will also see consolidation of Cloud Service providers as VC's pull out their funding and force mergers into more manageable entities  for economy of scale. This will be a great boon for consolidation in the Cloud Computing Service Providers.
This is a great time for Cloud Computing and it is time the Board and Business Leaders consider the Cloud for reducing business costs and improving agility.
Cloud Computing is the Silver Lining as Dark Clouds surround Global Markets !.
