In October 2009, Enterprise Cloud Computing was considered bleeding edge technology by many but there was something that seemed different about its value potential and adoption rate. For CIOs, it seemed a chance to provision affordable infrastructure quickly, alleviating delays to mission critical deliveries. Federal CIOs interest in Enterprise Cloud Computing was limited to innovators and early adopters. Two years later, where does Enterprise Cloud Computing stand? Is it for real?
“The cloud provides access to an endless range of services and applications,” noted Uri Mishol, co-founder and CEO, Xoreax Software, in this exclusive Q&A; with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. “Without these up-to-date applications companies run the risk of being left behind, an option that on one cannot afford in today’s global market,” concluded Mishol.

“Cloud computing has evolved from a point product solution that addressed a particular pain point (for example, high performance computing grids designed to analyze massive data sets) to an integrated and key component of a whole product solution designed to address a broad array of computing challenges for the enterprise,” noted Thomas Bryant, Director of Advanced Technology & Products for Quest Software, in this exclusive Q&A; with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. Bryant concluded tha...
“Most cloud environments – public, private, or hybrid – run on virtualized infrastructure that share CPU, memory and storage between applications,” noted Bryan Semple, Chief Marketing Officer at VKernel in this exclusive Q&A; with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. “These shared resource environments behave a lot like mainframes and hence require the same level of capacity planning,” concluded Semple.

Cloud computing is the next big change, impacting every aspect of IT. All vendors, all IT professionals will see huge changes in their environment, in their jobs. A reasonable level of Nephophobia is normal and healthy; most people react to changes impacting their professional lives with fears.
Organizations making their first move toward the cloud will ask questions about security, confidentiality, privacy...and it's very important for them to get reasonable answers to these worries before ma...
Developer self-service. Elastic, scalable apps. The "illusion of infinite capacity." For all the talk of the positive aspects of cloud computing, less attention is focused on the way IT operations must evolve to manage and support a dynamic, scalable, highly variable infrastructure.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Bernard Golden, CEO of HyperStratus, will focus on how cloud computing compels IT operations to split into two roles: infrastructure provider and applications man...
In the years I’ve known Jonathan Feldman, he’s repeatedly come up with ideas that are profound in the “Huh. That’s obvious now, wonder why I didn’t think of it in those terms” sense of really profound. His most recent blog fits into that category, a blog where he urges IT managers not only to try ou...
Blink twice and “Can we get a puppy?” becomes “Can I take the car tonight?” Cloud computing took a little longer. By my calculation, it’s taken roughly 8 Cloud Expos to move from “Cloud what?” to “Cloud how?” -- I know because I’ve been at all but the first. So, returning from New York where last...
In the many, many – really, many – posts I’ve penned regarding cloud computing , and in particular the notion of Intercloud, I’ve struggled to come up with a way to simply articulate the problem inherent in current migratory and, for that matter, interoperability models. Recently I found the word I ...
Metrics are tricky. Period. Comparing metrics is even trickier. The purpose of performance metrics is, of course, to measure performance. But like most tests, before you can administer such a test you really need to know what it is you’re testing. Saying “performance” isn’t enough and never has been...

There are many ways to connect to cloud storage. The most popular one is to provide web interface inside a web browser. For example, Google Docs, SkyDrive all have their own web interface. The problem of this is that it can’t be interoperable with existing applications until the applications are re-...
The good news about working on the Salesforce platform is that three times a year, while you’re lying asleep at night, the little Salesforce elves are hard at work rolling out the newest release. The bad news is that sometimes on a Monday morning you start seeing Apex errors in your inbox. This pa...
