「シン vs.ファット」―― MS Officeの牙城に切り込むGoogle Apps : Googleウォッチ - Computerworld.jp - 0 views

  • ただ残念ながら、この“クラウド”も、現時点ではまだ実用的ではない。グリッド・コンピューティングやSaaS(Software as a Service)、アプリケーション・デリバリの管理、グローバル規模でのアクセスなど、ほとんどの技術がまだ幼年期にあるからだ。シン・クライアント型アプリケーションも、初期のWebがそうであったように、まだ先行き不透明な荒削りの欠陥製品にすぎない。  ただ、そうした限界はあっても、Googleはサーバや特殊なインフラを導入することなく、データを簡単に共有できるホステッド・モデルの強みを生かして全力を尽くさなければならない。Microsoftはすでに(パスワードでプロテクトをかけたSharePointのワークスペースにすぎないとはいえ)Web経由でドキュメントを共有できる「Office Live Workspace」(画面1)のベータ版をリリースし、クラウド・コンピューティングのトレンドセッターのポジションを奪い取る姿勢を見せているからだ。(もちろん、Office Liveという名称にもかかわらず、Officeの全機能を提供しているわけではないので、今のところそれほど脅威ではない)。
  • おそらくGoogleの究極の競合は、ユーザーが長年慣れ親しむWindowsとOfficeを組み合わせた環境の快適さと、ホスティング型アプリケーションのアドバンテージを融合したハイブリッド・モデルになるだろう。それこそがまさにMicrosoftの目指す方向なのだが、皮肉なことに、Windows Vistaと「2007 Microsoft Office system(Office 2007)」の大幅なインタフェース刷新、ならびにOffice 2007の不安定性に対する不満が、IT部門のMicrosoft製品離れを引き起こしており、Googleに絶好のチャンスをもたらしている。
  • しかしGoogleは今、大きなプレッシャーに直面している。企業向けホスティング型アプリケーション・スイートの「Google Apps」をはじめ、オフライン対応のWebアプリケーション開発/実行環境「Google Gears」(画面2)への期待は大きいものの、実際のところ、どれをとっても不十分なものばかりであるからだ。唯一「Gmail」だけは例外と言えるが、全体的に見れば、現行のデスクトップ・アプリケーションと比較して遜色がないと言い切れるものはない。実際、まちがってF5キーを打ってしまっただけで、時間をかけた労作がいとも簡単に消えてしまうなど、ビジネスで本格的に利用できるレベルにはまだ達していない(こうした欠陥は改善されつつあるが、Google Appsの未成熟さがいかんともし難いのは事実だ)。

  •  Googleはまず、現行のサービスを強化すべきである。なかでもWebアプリケーションのオフライン時利用の実現は、Google Gearsイニシアチブでようやく解決に向けて動き出した重要な技術的課題であり、この機能を「Documents」や「Spreadsheets」、「Presentations」の各アプリケーションに早急に拡張する必要がある。ところが同社は、先ごろ打ち出したオープンソースの携帯電話向けアプリケーション開発プラットフォーム「Android」プロジェクトによって、Google Appsへの熱意が冷めてしまった感がある。Googleの経営陣は、今一度Microsoft追撃に集中し、やみくもに戦線を拡大しないよう気を引き締める必要があるだろう。高いROI(投資利益率)が見込めない無数のサイド・プロジェクトに埋もれ、身動きが取れなくなる愚だけは避けなければならない。

Marc Andreessen: "The three kinds of platforms you meet on the Internet" (2007, retriev... - 1 views

  • Ning within our platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easily building social networking applications; Salesforce within its platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easily building enterprise applications; Second Life within its platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easy building objects that live and interact within Second Life. EC2, at least for now, has no such ambitions, and is content to be more of a generic hosting environment.
  • Akamai, coming from a completely different angle, is tackling a lot of the technical requirements of a Level 3 Internet platform in their "EdgeComputing" service -- which lets their customers upload Java code into Akamai's systems.

  • I think that kids coming out of college over the next several years are going to wonder why anyone ever built apps for anything other than "the cloud" -- the Internet -- and, ultimately, why they did so with anything other than the kinds of Level 3 platforms that we as an industry are going to build over the next several years -- just like they already wonder why anyone runs any software that you can't get to through a browser.

    "This post is my attempt to disentangle and examine the topic of "Internet platform" in detail. I will go at it by identifying three distinct approaches to providing an Internet platform, and project forward on where I think each of the three approaches will go. At best, I might be able to help make a new landscape clear. At worst, hopefully I can at least provide one framework for future discussion."
