I enjoyed your blog on the subject of The Interactive Cloud. I can't disagree with anything you wrote but would ask what sort of application development effort would be required to build such sentient applications? Can existing applications be easily modified to take responsibility for their deployment infrastructure resources as you appear to advocate? Or are we looking at a new breed of applications, architected to understand their SLA commitments and the infrastructure required to meet them?

You are right to say that our cloud offering is not highlighted in our website as you would expect it to be. The main reason as you rightly pointed out is that cloud is over hyped. We didn't wanted to put something at the front without first having real substance behind it. Now that we have good success stories, online offering that enables user to try out the product in one click on the cloud (gigaspaces.com/mycloud) we feel more comfortable to bring that part of our offering to the front end. So i agree with you that we should put it at the front end of our offering and that's probably what your going to see in couple of weeks from now. "One interesting feature of GigaSpaces’ XAP product is its application services management layer (my term not theirs – they use application management services!)" I liked your term better:) Note that the idea behind all this is to bring operational awareness to the application. You can read more about it on one of my recent post: <a href="http://natishalom.typepad.com/nati_shaloms_blog/2009/09/the-interactive-cloud-part-i-general-concept.html" rel="nofollow">The Interactive Cloud (Part I)</a> Nati S CTO & Founder GigaSpaces Hi Danny
