Microsoft's Windows Azure platform is a virtualized and abstracted application platform that can be used to build highly scalable and reliable applications, with Java. The environment consists of a set of application services such as "no-SQL" table storage, blob storage, queues, relational database service, Internet service bus, access control, etc. Java applications can be built using these services via Web services APIs, and your own JVM, without having to be concerned with the underlying serv...
More and more enterprises consider Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) part of their overall IT strategy, leading to questions around compliance and security.
In his session at the 7th International Cloud Expo, Davi Ottenheimer will answer these questions including where does data reside and how is it being protected? Has the service provider gone through specific compliance audit controls for their data center and infrastructure? What control over access is given to my environment? How is role...

How can cloud platforms from different vendors be used to create hybrid clouds that benefit developers and consumers of these platforms?
In their session at the 7th International Cloud Expo, Jonathan Bryce, CTO & Founder of The Rackspace Cloud, and Joseph Hofstader, Cloud Computing Architect/Evangelist at Microsoft, will look at Rackspace’s Cloud Servers for Windows and Microsoft’s Windows Azure and address such topics as:
The differences between the two platforms

I've been asked quite a few times, "when will it be a good time to get into cloud computing?" by potential clients. My answer is typically it depends... I know, I know.... not much direction there, but really it all depends. Why ?
Well, some may state, "we all know of the much beaten security concerns, and we will ensure that systems on our end are secured and synced to work in tandem with the vendors security." Can one ensure some degree of monitoring by the implementation of an Intrusion De...
As cloud-delivered services become the coin of the productivity realm, how those services are managed as they are developed, deployed, and used -- across a services lifecycle -- increasingly determines their true value. And yet governance is still too often fractured, poorly extended across the development-and-deployment continuum, and often not able to satisfy the new complexity inherent in cloud models.
The purpose of an usher, be it at an old time movie theater or a wedding, is to take people to suitable seats and see that they’re comfortable. The purpose of a bouncer is to throw out bums and keep the peace. These two words conjure pictures in your head of similar folks, but their function is completely opposite.
Many of the things confronting IT today that are as much driven by the business and buzz as by IT and requirements are Cloud Computing and Wireless Devices. Look back historically an...
I had a blog partially written for today when @GeorgeVHulme tweeted this: "WAHOO! Minnesota goes Private Cloud!". And that changed my thoughts and direction completely. Here’s the article George linked to State of Minnesota Signs Historic Cloud Computing Agreement With Microsoft. The fact that it was private cloud and with Microsoft got me to read the article. And it’s actually a pretty impressive story for both the state and for Microsoft.
In essence, this takes “private cloud” to a different ...
