Skytap, the test and dev cloud automation house, has added self-service cloud
orchestration and network routing features to its bag of tricks to reduce the
time it takes to move complicated virtualized workloads to the cloud.
It's automated the order in which users want multi-machine virtual data
centers deployed or shut down and engraves those rules - including time
delays - in stone so the sequence repeats itself. Like, say, Active Directory
server first, followed by the Team Foundation server, the database server,
the load balancer and the web servers.
Users can also connect different virtual networks together on-the-fly and
have VMs on the connected networks talk to each other complements of a few
keystrokes, no scripts.
Users can re-create a traditional "server hub and spoke" model in the cloud
by connecting any number of configurations to one server and settin... (more)

Hotlink Corporation emerged from two-and-a-half-years underground the other
day clutching a check for $10 million from a couple of VCs in one hand and a
"super-hypervisor" in the other.
The start-up's got a way to make VMware's vCenter manager natively support
Microsoft's Hyper-V, Citrix's XenServer and Red Hat's KVM hypervisors all at
the same time without vCenter even knowing those outlanders aren't its own
ESXi.
The HotLink SuperVisor for VMware is meant to appeal to enterprises with
heterogeneous widgetry, which must be just about everybody - well, two-thirds
of them anyway... (more)
As with motherhood and apple pie, who can argue with data governance?
Business users like it because it assures critical business decisions are
made based on sound data.
IT likes data governance because as the organization's data stewards, it
shows they are doing a good job.
Compliance officers and risk managers like data governance because it lets
them sleep at night.
Data Governance Is Challenging
Liking it is one thing. Doing it is another.
Enterprises are struggling to turn the concept of data governance into a
reality due to significantly growing data volumes, variety and va... (more)
While there is much talk about how to secure data and systems in cloud
computing, many gaps remain in implementing such security. As users of any
physical security systems can attest, it just takes one unsecured door or
window to provide easy access to an intruder and loss of valued property. Of
course with data in the cloud, the situation is much worse. Cloud users can
have their data stolen by more than one intruder. And, the cost of a security
breach can easily run into the millions of dollars range - far more than most
thieves could steal in hardware.
The root problem of clo... (more)
