Practically Speaking About Cloud Computing Before getting into the nitty gritty of what we did in our projects for hardening the cloud servers hosted by us, we would like to emphasize the following, so that these can be firmly embedded in the mind set of readers. First, the way cloud computing is attracting attention is mind boggling. Enterprises have started adopting to cloud concept where in they go for sharing public infrastructure. Having started this trend, it will go without any stopping in future. Traditional Security measures practiced in-house are not enough in the new trend. Second, the inherent nature

Virtensys Specializes in Virtualization Technologies for Cloud Computing Manchester-based Virtensys started developing I/O Virtualization technologies for servers and storage platforms and needed less than a year to secure its first round of venture capital funding in October 2006, after venture capital investors Scottish Equity Partners provided Series A funding worth GBP 6.41 million to the start-up founded by entrepreneurs who left market leaders such as Adaptec, Brocade, Fujitsu, HP, ICL and Intel to establish a new enterprise. The company has bet on an innovative vision that data center servers and storage systems will no longer physically contain complex high-speed I/O
Cloud Computing vs Utility Computing vs Grid Computing: Sorting The Differences The Pacific Ocean is a water body, but not all water bodies are Pacific Oceans. This may be oversimplifying the situation but you do get the drift. Grid computing and utility computing, though sharing several attributes with cloud computing, are merely subsets of the latter. They may also be considered as implementations of cloud computing, rather than being different names for the same technology. Before analyzing this further, it is necessary to define grid computing and utility computing. It is noteworthy that the nomenclature of both grid and utility
When ISVs plan to build applications using cloud computing services, they have two key decisions to make: What services to build, and what sort of application to build? One approach is to build a traditional enterprise application, carryout minimal modification and run it on a particular provider’s cloud system infrastructure such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon’s EC2. These are hosted applications running on cloud infrastructure and benefit from hardware virtualization, but are not optimized cloud applications or cloud application services. A second approach is to create a cloud-optimized application that uses various programming models, architectures and techniques to exploit the dynamic
New White Papers Provided By CA Technologies The Best of Both Worlds: The Hybrid Cloud To handle the demands of modern business, CIOs must manage their internal data centers more effectively and learn how to leverage public cloud resources. The solution: a hybrid cloud strategy facilitated by a dynamic data center. Who knew that a video marketing campaign featuring a donkey, a baby and a bunch of helium balloons would catch fire, going viral after ending up on YouTube and driving an unprecedented amount of traffic to your company’s Web site? Hats off to the marketing folks, but are you
The Mobile Revolution A tidal wave of change is coming to the semiconductor industry and it is being driven by cloud computing, video and 4G, writes Ted Tewksbury president and CEO of Integrated Device Technology. The great thing about the semiconductor industry is that it completely disrupts itself every several years. Waves of change roll in and level the playing field. Today’s incumbents can disappear just as quickly as the dinosaurs, and technology transitions provide entry points for newcomers. Long term, the companies that win will be those that embrace and adapt to change. The best way to predict the
