Cloud Computing is the scapegoat! In the first part you found out why the time is right for Enterprise Cloud Computing. Now we come to an other interesting topic during CloudExpo Europe – the Cloud Computing security.

The Time is Right for Enterprise Cloud Computing At the CloudExpo Europe 2010 in Praque the main topic focused on Enterprise Cloud Computing and the statement “The Time is Right for Enterprise Cloud Computing”. And exactly this theme was my positive aspect of the conference. After finding the best definition in detail about “What is [...]

Even the most steadfast division-level IT managers are beginning to recognize the futility in trying to maintain their own closet “data center” in a world of virtualization, cloud computing, and drive to increase both data center economics and data security.
In the 1990s community of interest networks (COINs) emerged to take advantage of rapidly developing Internet protocol technologies. Cloud computing supports the idea of a COIN, as companies can not only build their “virtual data center” within a Platform as a Service/PaaS model, but also develop secure virtual interconnections among companies within a business community – not only within the same cloud service provider (CSP), but also among cloud service providers.
Have to admit, some of the news recently concerning drag and drop clouds is kind of exciting. Yes, we’ve dreamed about cloud bridges for a while now, and it is something the cloud user community finds very attractive, if not essential, for the future of cloud computing.
What if you had more than 700 ministries, provincial governments, local governments, and government agencies all running separate servers located everywhere from small data centers, to closets, to old computers crammed under a desk?
The reluctance of a VC to support CAPEX in the data center is a vision into the future of startup investments. While IT managers love to have a “hands-on” approach to equipment, it is becoming apparent the economics and utility of public cloud-enabled applications and resources are a factor which cannot be ignored.
