My colleague Michael Hickins wrote an illuminating post yesterday about big business ignoring Cisco's united computing system, which is supposed to be a data center platform that could rival those of IBM and HP. That got me thinking about a number of news items and thoughts that have been kicking around, with tech vendors missing big success in all sorts of "additional" business lines. Once again I find myself wondering whether a major mistake companies are making is diversification. Not in avoiding the strategy, but in going about it the wrong way? If you watch business history, you see similar themes reoccurring over time. The current flailing about by so many tech vendors smells a lot like the conglomeration fiasco of a few decades past.

Rackspace, normally associated with server co-location and hosting services, will be using a hybrid approach to cloud computing, letting customers switch between hosted data centers and cloud computing resources. Although it may not appear as "pure" as what some other major vendors tout, the company is smart, honing in on the needs of the buyer in a way that will let enterprises move over to the new approach slowly. So long as competitors keep trying to positioning themselves as "all cloud, all the time," this approach alone could make Rackspace a major winner.
The Department of Justice is showing increasing interest in the settlement between Google, book publishers, and the Authors Guild. And the way debate is shaping up in the publishing community, what had seemed a PR stroke of genius for Google -- make use of copyrighted material, wait to get sued, settle, and seem like a hero -- seems more likely to turn into an expensive and messy public black eye.
