In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them
in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)

Have you ever Googled "information security strategy“?
Try it yourself and see the results.
What you get is bunch of mixed-up terminology, most of it does not (should
not) fit into what information security strategy really is (or should be).
Major misconception is this – information strategy is risk treatment
(mitigation) plan. In some way it is true, but let’s consider some major
limitations with that approach.
According to wiki, „strategy“ is „a plan of action designed to achieve
a particular goal.“ So you have a business strategy, which is a plan of
action designed to achieve business goals. You have IT (development)
strategy, which is a plan of action designed to achieve IT goals, that
support achievement of business goals (or more precisely – that are aligned
to business goals – strategy). It should be common sense that therefore ... (more)

SEATTLE, April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchGuard(R) Technologies, a global
provider of network security solutions, today announced its support and
validation of IDC's report, "Is UTM a Threat to Routers(1)" that posits the
opinion that small to medium sized businesses and branch offices are turning

routing, as well as to provide multi-faceted firewall security features, such

and another for security. According to market research data, this market
disruption and trend of router consolidation favors UTM appliances.
"The industry is seeing router erosion. This is the natural consequence where

CloudEXPO Stories By Zakia Bouachraoui  The precious oil is extracted from the seeds of prickly pear cactus plant. After taking out the seeds from the fruits, they are adequately dried and then cold pressed to obtain the oil. Indeed, the prickly seed oil is quite expensive. Well, that is understandable when you consider the fact that the seeds are really tiny and each seed contain only about 5% of oil in it at most, plus the seeds are usually handpicked from the fruits. This means it will take tons of these seeds to produce just one bottle of the oil for commercial purpose. But from its medical properties to its culinary importance, skin lightening, moisturizing, and protection abilities, down to its extraordinary hair care properties, prickly seed oil has got lots of excellent rewards for anyone who pays the price.
