Evolution of infrastructure

Abstract

We'll make an overview of technologies used to build infrastructre and methods to utilize it from the beginning of modern computing till now, trying to recognize the repeating patterns and deduce the future based on them. We'll make a statement that "more of the same" approach as offered by cloud based VMs is lacking and explore alternatives that enable us to build a single infrastructure that can satisfy any kind of demand.
