Red Hat closed its acquisition of ManageIQ in December shortly after it
agreed to buy the joint for $104 million and on Tuesday morning it said in a
webcast that it's going to integrate ManageIQ's cloud management and
automation widgetry with its CloudForms Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform
to expand its all-important open hybrid cloud portfolio.
When this will happen is unclear.
ManageIQ lets users deploy, manage and optimize across private clouds, public
clouds and virtualized infrastructures.
Red Hat's Cloud Business Unit general manager Bryan Che said, "We've worked
with ManageIQ as a partner to our Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform
with successful joint customers and saw an opportunity to expand our hybrid
cloud management capabilities with an even closer relationship with

Private clouds are a great way to provide real-time service delivery of IT
resources with a single-tenant, customized, secure environment. However, the
challenge of scaling and managing physical resources still exists. The
solution may be to leverage an Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider to build
an off-premise Private Cloud to add scalability to your current private
cloud.

SoftLayer, discusses:

There are a handful of publicly-traded companies vying for leadership in
cloud computing, among them Amazon, VMware, Microsoft, and Rackspace. There
is even a cloud ETF (SKYY). That is why the current debate regarding the
future of public, private and hybrid cloud operating models is significant to
the futures of these companies, as well as many others in hardware, software
and even data center co-location.
If the public cloud becomes the cloud of choice for enterprise IT pros,
Amazon will have a commanding position in the evolution of the multi-trillion
enterprise IT market. Li... (more)

Jan. 19, 2013 12:00 PM EST Reads: 1,581 | By Liz McMillan  One of the cloud’s biggest draws is the capability to virtualize computing resources, allowing it to be consumed with the click of a mouse. But behind that simple click is an enormous infrastructure challenge that has recently been cited as a major cause for slower enterprise adoption. Enterprises can better prepare for this shift and take full advantage of future computing benefits. Between architecture design and migration planning, the road can be long, so what do you do with your talent?

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

Reads: 41,041  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.
