A little more SaaS

Since the last article on SaaS - quite a few of you have asked for more information on the same.
Rightly so, since SaaS as a trend has the potential to change the way people buy software and hardware totally, going ahead.

To quote from this article : "The concept isn’t new. Even before computers, it was common enough — it is like the shift that happened from actually owning a cow to getting milk delivered in packets. Having your own data center with all the necessary software installed is the IT-equivalent of owning a cow. SaaS allows businesses to subscribe to the service without having to own the product."

The below article gives you a good enough background to discuss this in length with the next CEO you meet up, while trying to sell Virtualization.
