The telecom industry will be challenged in the coming year as operators learn
to adapt to the rapidly changing mobile landscape.
2012 was the year of mobile - big brands and Internet companies have just
started to realize the potential impact that mobile communications can have
on their engagement with consumers. I expect the mobile trend will continue
in 2013, with SMS being the most rapidly changing application. Competition
between operators and Internet companies will cause these two distinct worlds
to work together in different ways. With this in mind, the following are my
2013 predictions for the telco industry.
We will witness a rebirth of SMS.
In times of crisis or low network connectivity, SMS remains the go-to
communication mechanism. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, residents in
the northeastern U.S. lost power for days, making the task of voting in the... (more)
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)

A leading-edge conference such as the 4th International Cloud Computing Expo,
which begins Monday, November 2 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, is
expected to draw a lot of hot young companies and new technologies that are
bent on subverting the dominant paradigm and inventing the future.
But this particular conference is also drawing in long-established players
who have decades of experience serving the enterprise. Count Unisys and its
President of Systems Technology Rich Marcello in this latter group.
Marcello will be delivering the Expo's initial keynote address, at 2pm on
Monday, delivering his views on why "The Time is Right for Enterprise Cloud
Computing." Marcello, who spent many years at another enterprise technology
giant, HP, before joining Unisys, outlined his vision and views in an
exclusive interview with Jeremy Geelan in the runup to the Expo. Duri... (more)
Where cloud computing is concerned, the Enterprise IT industry has gone from
asking 'What?' and 'Why?' to asking 'How?' and 'When?' - making 2010 the year
that company after company, organization after organization, and government
agency after government agency is moving, or beginning its move, to the
Cloud.
One clear indicator of the groundswell of adoption is the increasing
frequency and size of the events in the international Cloud Expo series,
which recently staged a huge event in the Jacob Javits Center in New York,
and which in June (June 21-22 2010, to be exact) is bringing an expanded
event, Cloud Expo Europe (www.CloudExpo-Europe.com), to Prague, capital of
the Czech Republic.
Here is the event in summary form:
What: Cloud Expo Europe (6th International Cloud Expo)
When: 21-22 June, 2010
Where: Prague Hilton, Czech Republic
And here is the link to the Confe... (more)

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.
