Nothing (as my reply stated, flash from the past ..)

As technology changes, solutions are re-invented and given new sexier 
names to sell products & concepts.

In same fashion -

OLD (DEC) NAS (Network App Services) = Today SOA
OLD shared services (aka "utility") = Today Private Clouds
OLD Selective IT Outsourcing = Today Public Clouds
OLD (DEC) Notesfiles = Today Web Conferencing (still waiting 
for "Next Unseen" feature)
OLD (DEC) VMS Phone Utility = Today Phone Chat (Whatsapp, BBM, 
texting etc etc)

I am sure this list could go on and on .. 

:-)
