In IT computing there is tendency to move towards a demand infrastructure instead of a supply infrastructure. This paradigm shift has a lot of benefits for companies it limits capital expenditure and increase efficiency within the company.

As mentioned before I am a strong believer in an on-demand computing infrastructure, I do think that in the near future companies will move towards SaaS concept. This will hold tremendous value in the SMB market space...

Customers will only pay for each CPU/Cycle. A next logical step would allow a third party to analyse the content. The infrastructure would be free for SMB company and it could even turn into a profit center.

The companies listed below hold some interested solutions for the near future…:

- Gigaspaces;

- Amazon Elastic Cloud
