Cloud Computing: ‘True’ Versus ‘Fake’ Cloud Computing – Does it Always Matter?
There’s no denying that the future of IT is in the cloud. Oracle, who in their early days had been accused of promoting fake cloud solutions. In late 2016, Oracle purchased NetSuite, and now, ironically, Oracle’s NetSuite advertising warns customers of the ‘fake cloud’ competitors. NetSuite points out benefits of ‘true’ cloud solutions:
- No worry about upgrades, integrations and customizations
- Better uptimes, security and support than on-premise
- No need to overbuy or overprovision
Gerrit Olivier, CEO of About IT, said that “Fake Cloud ERP is hosted on a file server either on-premise or on a file server but served up via the cloud. It’s ERP that’s been jury rigged to run in the cloud but it’s not a cloud-native solution… It presents certain limitations, such as not being able to install it on mobile devices nor being able to access it from mobile devices, it uses too much bandwidth, making it slow, unresponsive and more expensive to operate.”
There are benefits to using the cloud. But does it always matter if a solution is a ‘true’ or ‘fake’ cloud solution? Software delivery should be one factor but not the only criteria used when deciding whether something is the ‘best’ solution. Cost, features, and usability are factors that need to be considered and which may well trump considerations for how the solution is delivered.
Gartner analyst Anton Chuvakin, wrote that “I’d venture a guess that some people will prefer cloud-native tools, while other will justifiably go for fake cloud, especially if it happens to have all of their required benefits.”

Very impressive post. Thanks for sharing.
An article exploring “True Versus Fake Cloud Computing” is a thought-provoking subject, especially in today’s tech-driven world. Discussing what differentiates authentic cloud services from misleading ones can empower readers to make better-informed decisions about their technology investments. If the blog also explains when these distinctions truly matter, it could be an invaluable resource for businesses and individuals navigating the cloud computing landscape.
That sounds like a fascinating and highly relevant topic! Understanding the difference between genuine cloud computing and misleading services is crucial, especially as more businesses migrate to the cloud. A well-explained comparison can help users identify key factors such as scalability, security, cost

Great article — it really makes you think. You clearly explain how “true” cloud (multi-tenant, cloud-native) differs from “fake” (just hosted), and why delivery model matters — but isn’t everything
Good point. Many so-called “cloud” platforms still behave like traditional systems. That gap matters for scalability and analytics.
Great article. The distinction between true cloud and hosted solutions is very important, especially for businesses evaluating long-term scalability and performance. At the same time, as you mentioned, factors like cost, usability, and features should also play a key role in decision-making.
