Why the Time Is Right for Enterprise Cloud Computing
— You may be reluctant to move your enterprise application workloads to the cloud, fearing a lack of security, compliance issues such as data location regulations, and having to rewrite your applications. In his keynote at Cloud Expo Prague, Sam Gross, Vice President of Global IT Outsourcing Solutions at Unisys Corporat...Multi-tenancy: why you should care
— SaaS buyers shouldn’t settle for the limited horizons of single-tenancy. Multi-tenancy is the ideal architecture to make the most of the cloud environment, because it continually evolves to keep pace with the collective demands of its tenants.More Than A Million Reasons the Cloud May Be Safe
— I am back on the theme of cloud security. Why cloud security again ? Because cloud security raised its head again last week on a consultancy assignment I undertook. My client requires a new business application. This is available as Software as a Service(SaaS), but can also be purchased as a self hosted application. On...Dell Cloud Storage Chief Explains Scramble for 3PAR
— 3PAR is "uniquely qualified" in providing the kind of storage technology right now that Dell requires, Dell executive Praveen Asthana tells eWEEK. - Dell's top cloud and storage executive, Praveen Asthana, confirmed to eWEEK Aug. 27 why Dell is pursuing 3PAR so desperately: Not only does its IP fit an impo...Does Geothermal Cooling Make Sense for your Datacenter?

— News Analysis: Dells mobile strategy is on life support. And not even Googles Android platform could revive it at this point. - Dell released its Aero smartphone this week. The device retails for $99 with a two-year contract from AT amp;T. Its design looks quite similar to the Palm Pre. And as most might expect f...iRules Community Spotlight: Same Segment Load Balancing
— This has been a perplexing issue for many users. How do you introduce an intermediary (LTM going forward) between client and server when in the same network segment? It’s easy when the LTM sits at gateways, but within a segment, it doesn’t work that well without some help. Why? Well, with tcp-based connecti...Jonathan Eunice weighs in on converged infrastructure servers
— I recently talked to Jonathan Eunice of Illuminata for a case study I wrote on the HP BladeSystem Matrix. We talked about the benefits and challenges associated with converged infrastructure platforms, aka Infrastructure-by-the pound. This is an excerpt of the conversation that didn’t make the article: Why wou...Is Google powering its data centers with wind?
— Why is the data center lagging in its use of cleaner energy? Doug Washburn explains.Data Centre GreenTech – Sydney
— It's good to be involved in a surprisingly fresh movement around data centre efficiency. The overall attitude is constructive and people are trying out new ideas. Reminds me of why I didn't take the job on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico back in 1996.Why do Cloud Computing Projects Fail?
— Jeff Vance wrote a great article entitled, "Top 10 Reasons Cloud Computing Deployments Fail" which was published last week on the Datamation site. As I deal mainly with the technical challenges and questions that prospects have when considering cloud computing, I found it interesting that only...Vice city
— The New Republic is today running my review of Tom Bissell's latest book, Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter. It begins: Tom Bissell is a Renaissance Man for our out-of-joint time. In addition to being a versatile and exuberant writer, a restless if ennui-ridden globetrotter, and a dedicated chewer of tobacco and smok...Why Microsoft's PC-Inspired Cloud Strategy Might Work
— Microsoft has decided on its vision for the cloud: Treat cloud computing like it treated the PC business. Microsoft is once again looking to server makers to sell its software, but now it has added service providers to the mix.Amazon vs. VCE - Why They're Both Right About The 'Private Cloud'
— Original post blogged on b2evolution.Appistry announces partnerships with leading Hadoop ecosystem vendors
— Hopefully you saw our big announcement this morning! We are excited to announce strategic alliances with several of the leading Hadoop ecosystem vendors including Concurrent, Datameer and Kitenga. So what does this mean and why is it important you ask? We are really excited to announce these partnerships because e...Why security needs to catch up to Web 2.0
— Security managers can keep blocking Facebook, refusing to support mobile devices and vetoing cloud-based services, but they aren't going away. And ignoring ways to make room for them in your security program is like burying your head in the sand, according to Tom Gillis, vice president and general manager of Cisco's se...Why the iPhone 4 Made AT&T Change Its Pricing
— The fourth-generation iPhone has several new features and a new app that clearly show why AT&T's had to end unlimited data plans for new subscribers now, rather than in a year or so when it gets around to deploying its LTE network.Testers pick their favorite products
— Our testers point out why they made their picks of favorite products they tested in 2009.Why Back Up Your Business Data? Server and Email Restores Aren't Good Enough Reasons...
— One of my favorite questions to ask smart IT folks is why they backup data at all. After the unavoidable litany of doing file level restores, email restores, server restores, compliance requirements, etcetera, etcetera, we come to the real answer: the guy before me did it this way.Original post blogged on b2evolution.Incomplete Thought: The Cloud Software vs. Hardware Value Battle & Why AWS Is Really A Grid…
— Some suggest in discussing the role and long-term sustainable value of infrastructure versus software in cloud that software will marginalize bespoke infrastructure and the latter will simply commoditize. I find that an interesting assertion, given that it tends to ignore the realities that both hardware and software u...Incomplete Thought: Why We Need Open Source Security Solutions More Than Ever…
— Image via Wikipedia I don’t have time to write a big blog post and quite frankly, I don’t need to. Not on this topic. I do, however, feel that it’s important to bring back into consciousness how very important open source security solutions are to us — at least those of us who actually expect [....Dear SaaS Vendors: If Cloud Is The Way Forward & Companies Shouldn’t Spend $ On Privately-Operated Infrastructure, When Are You Moving Yours To Amazon Web Services?
— We’re told repetitively by Software as a Service (SaaS)* vendors that infrastructure is irrelevant, that CapEx spending is for fools and that Cloud Computing has fundamentally changed the way we will, forever, consume computing resources. Why is it then that many of the largest SaaS providers on the planet (incl...Why Is NASA Re-Inventing IT vs. Putting Men On the Moon? Simple.
— Image via Wikipedia I was struck with a sense of disappointment as I read Bob Wardspan’s (Smoothspan) blog today “NASA Fiddles While Rome Is Burning.”  So as Bob was rubbed the wrong way by Alex Howard’s post (below,) so too was I by Bob’s perspective.  All’s fair in love and space...About
