RPC To Clouds - It all seems like a CIRCLE

rsandeep 110000RB65 | | Tags:  mainframe rpc clouds virtualize com | 5,882 Views

Cloud has been the mantra for a while now, with most players in the train. While I am happy with the success of Cloud Computing, but when I step back and look at what I have seen and worked it gives me a perception of a big round circle or what they call it as re-inventing the wheel ( with different flavors offcourse). While I compliment the Cloud computing bandwagon ( and I am a part of it) - it feels like a old story book - new readers - newer times. But yeah, you may also call it as a evolution.
 
Lets see where we started and where we are:

- I remember studying and even working on RPC , which was considered to be so cool that in mid-late 90's the technology Giants had Distributed Computing Environment softwares which had services running all over and all you need to do is tell what service you want , remotely. (btw, Remote Procedure Calls - which are very much used even today in distributed file system etc)

- Then, Java picked up its fad, up came RMI (Remote Method Invocation) - it said platform independent service at your desk ... use RMI

- COM/DCOM.. followed with CORBA ( hot technologies with great paychecks once)

In between the two was ASP (Application Service Provider) - which I feel had a lot of Cloud essence

- GRID Computing( I call it one of the major near ancestor to Cloud) 

- SaaS (Software as a Service) in LAN

- SaaS (Software as a Service) in internet - up comes Cloud.

Similar we began with MainFrames -> Client Server Models --> Mutiple Server based solutions --> Thick clients based solutions --> <Starts looking messy with cost/power/carbon foot print/ROI> ->consolidate -> virtualize -> centralize --> up comes Cloud --> Mainframes  :-)

So if I summarize the above , I really don't see great invention in technology , but yeah probably good innovation with times and better business models.
