Cloud Software Begins to Lose Altitude

If anything, self-hosted cloud software will continue to grow in popularity. It's cloud-based Saas companies that are more hype than substance (read Disrupted for an unsavory inside look).

Self-hosted cloud software will continue to grow in popularity though. Shameless plug alert: I recently released Wheatbin which is Open Source and 100% free: http://wheatbin.com. Github repo is here: https://github.com/wheatbin/wheatbin

Yeah, I was just thinking this - reading around it a little bit, it seems that it's the cloud aspect that's where the hesitancy is for a lot of players (correct me if I'm wrong). If BigCorp is always going to have some on-site IT/server resource, then surely the best middle ground is renting out the software, letting BigCorp store the data on their own servers, and then charging for training, backup and integrations?

Good point - this is exactly the market Sandstorm (https://sandstorm.io) is trying to reach as well. Will be interesting to see how cloud-within-the-enterprise will turn out.

Weird that you show a BlackBerry on the product page. It makes perceiving the software as very old.
