  • The term "perimeter" was dying down long before clouding and virtualizationing became the tech du jour. E.g. check out Jericho Forum, its been around for some time now... Commented Nov 16, 2010 at 22:39
  • @AviD, not all countries has the same level of IT development - it still often happens to watch the usage of this term in its primary meaning. Also, I used it here so it is clear what the talk about is - users who wants to get more information should check the link that was given in my answer. Commented Nov 17, 2010 at 9:20
  • @Ams, sorry, I wasn't clear - I didnt mean they don't use the term, I meant that the concept was slowly being phased out. That is, the "perimeter" around the organization, its systems, and users, has been recognized to not really be feasible anymore; what with mobile computing, open systems, extranet, hosted systems, etc etc. Of course, it could be argued that that was the beginning of the cloud/virtzation fad, but this was happening irrelevant of the cloud.
