What is the right recipe or solution set for moving into or to the cloud? VMware’s recently introduced Cloud Infrastructure and Management (CIM) suite delivers on the promise of the cloud by providing the foundation for cloud infrastructure of any type. The CIM suite includes VMware’s flagship virtualization platform known as vSphere as well as solutions for disaster recovery, security, operations management, and self-service technology deployment.

What better time than now, with just six weeks to go before Cloud Expo Silicon Valley (9th Cloud Expo), to bring you a series in which we introduce you in greater detail to our incredible Speaker Faculty for the technical program at the conference? We have technical and strategy sessions for you dealing with every nook and cranny of Cloud Computing, but what of those who are presenting? Who are they, where do they work, what else have they written and/or said about the Cloud that is transforming...

SYS-CON Events announced today that Zenoss, a leading provider of management software for physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT infrastructures, will exhibit at SYS-CON's 9th International Cloud Expo, which will take place on November 7–10, 2011, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA
Zenoss is a leading provider of management software for physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT infrastructures. Over 35,000 organizations worldwide have deployed Zenoss to manage their networks, se...
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...
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...
The basic premise of infrastructure scalability is that if the component providing the scalability fails, well, the service for which it provides HA fails. That’s not good. So it was that HA architectures employing a variety of models came about to ensure that such a scenario did not happen. Active-...
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 ...
GoogleFolderGoogle has many different storage options. For example, you have Gmail storage, Google Picasa storage, Google Docs storage and etc.
This article talks about yet another one, Google Storage for Developers, a new storage option, which is also a pure REST (Representational state transfer) ...
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 [...]
