Novatel unveils MiFi mobile storage – Mobile Cloud Computing
Mar 25th
NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY VENDOR Novatel unveiled a cloud based mobile storage solution called Novadrive at CITA Wireless 2010 today.
Novadrive is powered by Nomadesk MiFi technology, offers 256-bit encryption and can be remotely accessed to wipe data if it’s lost or stolen. Novatel claim its mobile storage device offers intelligent mobile hotspots for punters and will do all the things you’d expect mobile storage to do like share, encrypt, synchronise, backup and store files to access from any laptop or web-based, hand-held mobile device.
MiFi has been a hot topic at CITA this year. Novadrive one of the first ‘intelligent’ devices to feature this mobile broadband category. Novatel believes that its hardware is different from existing router hardware because it doesn’t need an external broadband USB modem to work.
The Novadrive should offer better access to data from any location with extra security and as much storage as you can shake a stick at. Novatel’s current customers can get a free downloadable Novadrive account with limited functionality or you can sign up for £33 a year for a personal file server with unlimited capacity. You can also sign up for approximately £10 a month to get a business file server.
“This offering will provide our existing MiFi community and other potential MiFi users, with premier cloud storage services seen in the market today,” said Rob Hadley, Novatel’s chief marketing officer. Full Source
“We are very happy to bring to market a cloud-based solution with unlimited storage capacity, 256-bit encryption, and added security service to store and share photos, videos, presentations and documents through any mobile device. We look forward to expanding this offering quickly to support the MiFi local storage which allows seamless access and synchronization to the SD removable storage on MiFi to and from the cloud.” Full Source

TeliaSonera, Cisco Start Cloud Computing Cooperation
Mar 24th
By Gustav Sandstrom, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES 
STOCKHOLM -(Dow Jones)- Swedish telecom operator TeliaSonera AB (TLSN.SK) and U.S.-based network equipment supplier Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) Wednesday said they will jointly offer new cloud computing services for business customers.
Through the “Business Class Cloud Services” joint venture, TeliaSonera and Cisco will sell a range of solutions including virtual conferencing services which allow users to access web meetings through mobile handsets, share documents and replay conferences on demand, the companies said.
Cloud computing, which lets users access services and applications on demand through the Internet, paying only for the capacity used, is growing rapidly, TeliaSonera’s head of Business Services Sverker Hannervall told reporters Wednesday.
The financial downturn has boosted demand for cost efficient solutions such as virtual conferences which let employees meet without travelling, and the spread of cloud-based services will continue as new speedy fourth-generation networks make them more accessible, he said.
The global market for cloud services is expected to generate revenue of $60 billion in 2012, compared to around $15 billion in 2008, said Niklas Andersson, head of Cisco Sweden.
The joint venture announced Wednesday, which builds upon previous cooperation between TeliaSonera and Cisco, is the first of its kind in the Swedish market, Hannervall said, adding that his company wants to be a market leader in cloud services for business customers.
TeliaSonera and Cisco will initially offer cloud-based conferencing and services to integrate video, telephony, chat and file sharing, and plan to expand the cooperation with more offerings further on, Hannervall said.

GoGrid Announces Version 2.0
Today GoGrid, the Cloud Computing service from ServePath, released version 2.0 of its award-winning Cloud Computing Infrastructure solution. With this release, GoGrid users now have the ability to create personal server images, known as MyGSIs. MyGSI stands for “personal GoGrid Server Image,” a “Golden Master” server image that can be customized, saved and stored for future deployments. Users are now able to create new servers from stored MyGSIs via the GoGrid web portal or API quickly and easily.
We are extremely excited about this innovative new GoGrid release
This is an important development in the Cloud Computing marketplace, and further demonstrates our visionary approach to providing Cloud Computing functionality and features that our customers desire.
“We are extremely excited about this innovative new GoGrid release,” said John Keagy, CEO and Co-Founder of GoGrid and ServePath. “This is an important development in the Cloud Computing marketplace, and further demonstrates our visionary approach to providing Cloud Computing functionality and features that our customers desire.”
The creation of a MyGSI is an extremely simple 3-step process. First add an Image Sandbox, second, configure and prepare the Image Sandbox and third, save the Image Sandbox as a MyGSI. When a user needs to create a new Windows or Linux server based on the pre-configured MyGSI, they simply choose the saved image, fill in a few details, and instantiate the server in minutes within the GoGrid cloud.
There are several benefits and advantages of using a MyGSI to deploy servers within the GoGrid cloud:
