The critical challenge faced in managing virtual and cloud infrastructure is a lack of control. The inability to properly understand and control all the moving parts prevents organizations from operating efficiently and achieving desired cost savings and density levels. The complexity associated with shared infrastructure and mobile workloads, combined with varying technical, business and operational requirements across applications, has left organizations with no choice but to wildly over-provi...
As the old appliance model in network infrastructures of datacenters and clouds is being replaced by software and virtual machines, next-generation network security is paving the way for secure migration into the cloud. While one of the key benefits of the cloud is network access from any location, this brings to light critical issues including access restrictions and, more importantly, who controls it. Can providers support VPNs or dedicated connections in the IaaS cloud?
In his session at th...

With the advent of the cloud, the business resilience and managed security capabilities of many companies took a monumental leap forward. Capabilities once reserved for large corporations are now within the grasp of small and medium-sized companies. But to really achieve resilience and reduce the potential impact of events takes real planning and foresight.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Richard Cocchiara, an IBM Distinguished Engineer and CTO for Business Continuity and R...

Duke Skarda is CTO at SoftLayer. He joined SoftLayer in November 2010 and, as the CTO, he holds responsibilities for implementing, designing and enhancing the proprietary SoftLa...
A couple of weeks ago, I dropped by the Intel Developer Forum to present a session and listen in on a few others. As always in these types of shows, I learned quite a bit. Most strikingly though, I was reminded of something that is probably quite obvious to many of you: Consumer interest in cloud co...
As a cloud security vendor, we often get questioned about public cloud security and how secure is the public cloud. To answer this question I’d like to start by defining what “public cloud” means before we’ll focus on the cloud security question: (public) cloud computing is the delivery of computing...
Every once in a while, I’ll do a news search for ‘cloud computing.’ Yesterday was one of those days and while there are always a few stories about ‘the cloud,’ I was somewhat amazed by the number and range of topics that appeared. Also, the most recent issue (Oct 2011) of Consumer Reports had an a...
There’s some amount of debate whether Facebook really crossed over the one trillion page view per month threshold. While one report says it did, another respected firm says it did not; that its monthly page views are a mere 467 billion per month.
In the big scheme of things, the discrepancy is some...
Return on investment (ROI) of using the cloud has recently become a popular topic of discussion, though not in a way you might expect. An interesting article by JP Morgenthal entitled There is no ROI in cloud computing presents the opinion that cloud services simply have no ROI. A second article by ...

Smartphones, tablets, and the cloud – are they true IT innovation? Or, As Bob Lewis suggests, are they consumer innovation or port of one or more of the dozen earlier innovations to these new platforms?
It is very difficult to know the true disruptive potential of any innovation when you too near ...
Adoption of cloud computing services continues to accelerate as organizations move from limited deployments to comprehensive solutions, according to the latest market study by CompTIA, the non-profit trade association for the information technology (IT) industry.
More than half (56 percent) of the ...
One of the touted benefits of cloud computing is supposed to be that it is a metered service. Much like your water and electric, the cloud is supposed to allow users to access compute resources as needed and be charged only for what is used. This is a great model for users of cloud computing [...]
“What are the use cases you want to pursue with your enterprise cloud project?” The question seems innocuous enough, but I can tell you from first-hand experience that it is anything but. If you asked five people from different teams within the same company to each give you three use cases, you woul...
