Scaling an application in the cloud often hits the most common bottleneck – the database tier. Not only is database performance the number one cause of poor application performance, the issue is magnified in cloud environments where I/O is generally slower and less predictable than in dedicated data centers. Database Sharding is a highly effective method of removing the database scalability barrier, operating on top of proven RDBMS products such as MySQL and Postgres – as well as the new NoSQL d...
Managing and securing how users connect and interact with cloud-based services increasingly hinges on how enterprise identities are propagated to the cloud. Standards like Secure Assertion Markup Language (SAML), X.509 and OAuth that were first solidified for federation are now coming into their own to tackle cloud security challenges.

In their session at the 8th International Cloud Expo, Patrick Harding, CTO at Ping Identi...

CA Technologies is ready with solutions to advise, deliver and su...

datacenter infrastructures and iterate thei...
One can add the word "social" to any other word in the English language right now, and somewhere, sometime, a group of software developers will turn the colloquy into some kind of a website or application.
Take "social" + "comparison" for example.
The Amazon US East outage of just over a week ago was an eye-opener for many people. Here at CloudSwitch it validated what we know about best practices for using the cloud. Not surprisingly, these reflect traditional IT processes and systems that enterprises know are needed to protect data and ensur...
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you are considering building a cloud-based service and had come to that fork in the road where you had to think about how to authenticate users to your API’s.
As I was thinking about that problem, it struck me that potentially you could use the new(ish) identity and ...
Although Cloud Computing has been a very hot industry topic for some time now, adoption by Government is still in its earliest stages.
