How & why big hardware & software companies are spreading FUD about the cloud:

CIOs get pitched on “the cloud” more than the rest of us, but when it comes to dealing with legacy vendors — the big boys like Dell, HP and IBM — they might hear a lot more cloudwashing and a lot more fear, uncertainty and doubt (a.k.a. FUD) than the rest of us, too.

At the CloudBeat conference today, we sat down with Scott Bils, a partner at Everest Group, a consultancy with an eye on the cloud. Bils told quite a bit about the wool that vendors sometimes try to pull over executives’ eyes — and he gives some choice advice for CIOs considering new cloud technologies, too.

Stay tuned for more from CloudBeat today and tomorrow.
