SMBs Head for the Cloud

in

At HostingCon 2009, a conference for the hosted services industry held in August, Parallels CEO Serguei Beloussov, delivered the keynote presentation “Finding Your Position to Compete in a Changing Hosting Industry.”

During the speech, Beloussov noted, “I believe that in the future, small businesses will not have IT infrastructure. It is potentially one of the largest changes in IT. I truly believe that over time there will be no SMB applications hosted in-house.” Beloussov went on to say that SMBs represent a major opportunity for hosting companies looking to compete with the huge cloud computing platforms being built by Microsoft, Amazon and Google.
