Thanks everyone Q1: What do you see as the primary benefit of #IaaS?
Mike Miller
No servers! Unless you're in the IT business, IT isn't your business. Focus on your own product or you will lose.
Michael Fork
Business agility and the empowerment of the developer - procurement and provisioning cycles that are minutes instead of weeks and access to more infrastructure options.
SoftLayer
If infrastructure isn’t a company's core competency, it shouldn't drain the company's resources (capital, time, people, etc.).
Mike Miller
it's a good thing we're not in violent agreement
Mike Miller
I think @softlayer nailed it -- developer time is precious. Don't waste it.
Holger Mueller
Really about elasticity of compute, storage, network #cloudchat
John Furrier
will the commodization be a good thing?

@mlmilleratmit Spoken like a true SoftLayer customer. :-)

commoditization isn't a dirty word. It means it's no longer about the technology, but what you do _with_ the technology.

Agree with @mlmilleratmit focus on your product - know your value, if it isn't infra use #IaaS
Brian Fanzo
If the CIO or the business IT unit isn't familiar with managing a datacenter or Infrastructure you should use IaaS so that you can focus on your core work.

primary role of #IaaS is to provide basic services (compute, storage, network) for upstream "standard" PaaS and XaaS without lock-in to a IaaS-specific services like EMR, SQS etc. #cloudchat
