Interesting article on MSDN containing some architecutral advice on the “Software-as-a-Service” (SaaS) model for software delivery. Pretty interesting, though I’m not working directly in that space at the moment. I particularly like the discussion around hosting multiple tenants on the same services and dealing with the issues this poses. Also interesting is the coining of the term “The Long Tail” by Chris Anderson in an issue
of Wired (the article gives a definition of this also). Funny how certain terms catch on.
