example service providers

It may be helpful to enumerate some of the types of businesses/product/service that we think could adopt this. This might help with specific use cases. Here’s a start of a list, please add/remove/change:

1. remote file storage services (e.g. “mount provider /home”)
2. remote backup
3. shared hosting services (“get you ~joe/public_html and ftp access”)
4. dedicated hosting services (“here’s root access to an actual server we let you rent”)
5. infrastructure-as-a-service (“here’s a virtual server, ssh as root”)
6. platform-as-a-service (“here’s an API, package and upload your code, we run it the way we see fit”)
7. application hosting (“tell us which app you want, and we run it for you the way we see fit”)
8. software-as-a-service (“go to our website which does what you want”)

Cheers,



Johannes.
