What will the cloud computing industry look like in 5 years?
With all of the changes in the industry, most recently Ray Ozzie's departure from Mircosoft, what do you think the cloud computing scene will be like in the coming years?

I hope the main players BT/HP/Microsoft/Salesforce/VMware/etc will be offering various flavours of portable on demand “environments” and “data Stores” that anyone can connect to for hosted services. I also hope that google etc will offer private hosted clouds in a rack for those that don’t feel they can trust others with their data hosting.
So that when I’m at home working in one project, I get a call popup in my video enabled TV, about another project and call up that environment with its map-able data stores so I can address the problem. Or maybe I need to spawn a new environment with persistence for some service I wish to publish. Local multi function printers are map-able worldwide.
Servers generally cease to be separate machines and instead are pure services running in per-machine cycle charged containers. Email archiving is inherent in all mail boxes and chargeable by size and removable by auto processes – e.g after 7 years. Multi profile fmc phones will have time profiles and potentially carry any numbers call.
Desktop office software will become a service and almost never be installed on a machine. Operating systems will develop to from DOS to WOS (Web Operating System) to exploit the distributed nature of the new resource pool available. Java/Dot net will wrap these calls into system building blocks.
Users will get to switch supplier’s mid processing as timezone profiles make different vendors more cost effective for service provision.
Rental agreements will become right to use agreements with a more pay as you go model actually generating invoices.
well 5 years from now , cloud computing will be the standard way of computing for both enterprises and SOHOs even the end users , and having physical servers will become an odd thing!
speaking about the vendors we will have only 4 or 5 vendors who provides every thing
Servers/HW/NW/SW/OS/Storage/etc...
That's a huge question, and of course, impossible to answer. In the communications space, we've only been talking about the cloud for a year - maybe two at the most. Cloud has been out there for much longer in other areas of IT, but it's still early adopter technology for communications.
I basically agree with the earlier comments. Cloud is simply a fancy way of saying hosted communications, but with a few more bells and whistles. Just like how software has basically displaced hardware in the communications space, the cloud will displace software, and it will simply be standard environment for doing these things.
The term cloud will be like client/server; a style of computing we now take for granted. The cloud will just be the way we do enterprise computing.
