Shiva & Nandi and Cloud Computing & CIO

In Hindu mythology Shiva is the destroyer and Nandi the Bull is Shiva's mount and is the gate keeper to Shiva and his consort Parvathi.

Every Shiva temple has a Nandi at its entrance which prevents direct view of the idol at the Sanctum of the temple.

If the CIO is the Nandi then cloud computing is Shiva the destroyer of traditional computing. Unless the Nandi moves the business cannot reap the benefits of the cloud and attain salvation.

Hence it is important that the CIO transforms himself as the mount for the organization to benefit from cloud computing rather then being the gatekeeper who will not allow the business to adopt cloud computing.

Is the CIO - Nandi ready for the transformation from a gatekeeper to the mount for the business to ride into cloud computing for agile and innovative computing ?

BIG 5 in Cloud Computing

@larrycincy Larry Carvalho #Cisco , #Oracle and #HP are behind #IBM and #Microsoft on #cloud messages - agree? 20 Apr via HootSuite Favorite Retweet Reply Larry Carvalho's twitter question a few days ago got me thinking and here are my thoughts ! The BIG 5 is a popular term used in South Africa and I have picked a few points from Wiki source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_game The BIG 5 collection consists of the lion , the African elephant , the Cape Buffalo , the leopard and the rhinoceros . [ 2 ] The members of the big five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them and the degree of danger involved, rather than their size. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The BIG 5 were not enough for this blog, so I have extended the species to include animals from other parts of the world to bring out the impact of M&A. So let us map Larry's BIG five to the African BIG 5; which of the BIG 5 is the best? You can be the judge ! Lion - MICROSOFT African Elephant - IBM
