NetSuite is one of the pioneers in the broadly termed software-as-a-service space, selling an "integrated web-based business software suite." Sounds dull? Yep!

<p>BoomTown has been lagging in getting up this lovely video I did from a dinner party last Thursday, thrown for NetSuite&#8217;s tenth anniversary, which was held at one of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison&#8217;s many houses&#8211;this one in the tony Pacific Heights section of San Francisco.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.netsuite.com">NetSuite</a> (N) is one of the pioneers in the broadly termed software-as-a-service space, selling an &#8220;integrated web-based business software suite, including Accounting software/ERP software, CRM software, and Ecommerce software.&#8221; Essentially, that&#8217;s hosted software solutions for medium-sized businesses or divisions of larger companies.</p>
<p><em>Zzzzzzzzzz</em>, right?</p>
<p>Actually, it is an important topic, as businesses actually do begin to embrace the idea of putting themselves increasingly in the so-called cloud, which is Silicon Valley&#8217;s trendiest term du jour.</p>
<p>It is a topic, in fact, that Microsoft is going to be blabbing about all week, starting today. The SaaS space, including its cloud computing efforts, will be Topic A at its <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20081024/whats-up-at-microsofts-professional-developers-conference-hint-cloudy-with-a-chance-of-amazon-pain/">Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles</a>. </p>
<p>In any case, after a lovely tour of Ellison&#8217;s house&#8211;Ellison co-founded the company with former Oracle (ORCL) exec Evan Goldberg and has been a major NetSuite investor&#8211;by NetSuite&#8217;s PR guru Brooke Hammerling, and some dinner chatter, I did an interesting video interview with NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson about the direction of the sector.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>

<p>With all the Yahoo (YHOO) reorganization noise this past week&#8211;full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, if you want to go all literary!&#8211;BoomTown had little time to post our video on <a href="http://www.gigaom.com">GigaOm</a>&#8217;s Om Malik&#8217;s <a href="http://events.gigaom.com/structure/08/">Structure 08</a> conference on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Held at the spanking new Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, it was high-wonk, packed with CTOs and those involved in building the guts of the Internet and its infrastructure, whose jobs are becoming more complicated than ever as Internet usage booms.</p>
<p>Malik thinks this unprecedented growth is putting a lot of stress on the system, akin to the physical wear-and-tear our nation&#8217;s roads and bridges are under. </p>
<p>As he wrote: &#8220;The platforms on which we have done business for over a decade are starting to provide diminishing returns; the smart money, meanwhile, is seeking new platform structures.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thus, lots of talk about how to manage the potential crisis, such as the move toward cloud computing, databases in the sky and other stuff that is way, <em>way</em> over BoomTown&#8217;s head.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, we press on, because it is our solemn duty to understand dark fiber someday soon.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video, including interviews with Malik, WordPress&#8217;s Raanan Bar-Cohen and NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson:</p>
