Good post!!

I’m interested in Southwark implementation to perform the IFRAME funciton on their site.

I notice they must have created another Stratus Connect web page in their application to allow for zoom, easting, northing etc parameters to be passed into it.

Any chance you can put me in touch with the Southwark guys so I can see if we can “borrow” their custom page?

Cheers
Darcy

Hi Hakan,

Yes we see that in many instances where data can potentially live in the cloud, so long as the cloud lives within that country. Datasets such as DVP in the US has long been an example of something which can sit on a cloud and be viewed anywhere, but you cannot ship that dataset outside the borders of the US. By contrast we know other datasets in countries like China can only live there, and can’t always be viewed by anyone outside of the borders.

So instead of having clouds based purely on a infrastructural basis, we need to accomodate infrastructure and politics. Infrastructure is something that ultimately will be overcome. It’s a physical problem that we can solve with time and money. While it could take a lot of both, one day it will be feasible for every country worldwide to have internet access at high speeds.

However the politics side of life is something which will remain far longer with our deep seated mistrust of other nations leading to higher costs for all when setting up cloud networks. From a SaaS vendor perspective we need to be clear on where our clouds are, and what restrictions we are abiding by in order to confidently provide a service that consumers trust.

The problem is actually not restricted to data in the cloud. One of our large corporation customers working with logistics are active in 100+ countries and have 34 branch offices in their service organisation. They planned to have a common office for China and South Korea, but it turned out that the detailed road data (file based) that they need in their Location Intelligent analysis is not allowed to leave the country for either of these markets. So they ended up having to locate a physical office in each country.

Clearly you’ve been scouring the internet to find some old quotes of mine – damn the internet!

I’m sure you could make a case for micro hype cycles within the hype cycle itself! It would also be good to see how some things have followed the cycle right through, whereas others drop out completely at different stages.
