Forrester chairman and CEO George Colony came storming out of the gate here at the second day of the 2011 Forrester IT Forum, trumpeting the benefits of an “App Internet” world that leaves the PC and cloud computing models IT professionals have come to know in the dust.
Placing the “PC” model (focused on a central group of local servers) in contrast with a web-based cloud model (focused on distributed web-based computing), Colony said the App Internet model — in which powerful local devices run applications — will dominate the future architecture of the Internet.
True, the hardware-based “center” of the network is becoming more powerful, driven by Moore’s Law. But the periphery of network is also becoming powerful, Colony said — leveraging the extraordinary storage and processing power in both places.
“The old PC model is a dead one — it doesn’t leverage cloud assets,” he said. “The web is a dead technology [model]. It is not the future software architecture of the Internet.”
Take Apple, for example. The company — which posts 85 percent revenue growth per year, and 92 percent profit growth — is “lucky” to have stumbled into the App Internet architecture.
“At first [with the iPhone] they were resistant,” Colony said. “It took months to get Apple to build App Internet architecture for billing and advertising.”
Now, Apple’s an “early winner” in the App Internet. Compare that withGoogle, a company with “high web ideology” that gives it considerable risk for a vendor, he said.
“Google makes 97% of its revenue from web ads,” he said. “It would be like it’s 1984, and Microsoft is competing with Apple — but Microsoft is giving its operating system away for free.”
“Who’s having the steak dinner while [everyone else peers] in the window? Apple,” he said.
But the future is now, Colony said. The App Internet market is already a $2.2 billion business this year worldwide, growing at 8.5 percent compound annual growth rate.
But what about Dell or Hewlett-Packard? With an app store expected on every device, can they reform the PC to fit into the App Internet?
And what of SAP and Oracle? “These guys can pretty quickly get traction in App Internet,” Colony said. “The question is pricing.”
And Microsoft? “Microsoft gets it, to an extent,” he said. “Silverlight could be a fantastic development platform for App Internet.”
And Facebook? “Any company that’s highly web-centric is in trouble. Facebook is very ideological about the web. You’re going to see a social player come in and use App Internet and give them a lot of trouble.”
“If you look at the App Internet, you’re going to see two or three players we’ve never heard of [that dominate].”
But the future is not yet written.
