• Spare me your cloud security diatribes

  
  Software as Services — Authority: 510
  If I read one more article about what MIT Technology Review in its January lead story is calling “the security problem inherent in the size and structure of clouds,” then I swear I am going to burst a blood vessel. This article is a classic of the genre, beginning with an absurd screed about “computer security ...

  StorageRap — Authority: 114
  EMC apparently thinks that V-Max will catch up to 3PAR soon!       They say its easy to use!     They keep trying all kinds of things!    That look great on paper!    But they havent been working out the way they planned!    3PAR has a vision for ...

• Amazon starts auctioning idle cycles

  
  Third Pipe, the future of broadband — Authority: 120
  What’s old is new again, with a twist.  Cloud computing shares many similarities with 80’s mainframe computing. When mainframes ruled the IT universe, many owners of these expensive systems would sell otherwise idle time to outside parties to help offset costs. This was easy to implement when the jobs were run as ...

• REST in practice for IT and Cloud management (part 3: wrap-up)

  
  William Vambenepe's blog — Authority: 480
  [Preface: a few months ago I shared some thoughts about how REST was (or could) be applied to IT and Cloud management. Part 1 was a comparison of the RESTful aspects of four well-known IaaS Cloud APIs and part 2 was an analysis of how REST applies to configuration management. Both of these entries received ...

• Cloud computing, so much more than multi-tenancy

  
  Software as Services — Authority: 510
  I settled in for one of Marc Benioff’s legendary two-hour-long CloudForce keynotes in London yesterday morning (an abridged, snappier version of the nigh-on-three hour marathon delegates sat through at last month’s DreamForce, Benioff had assured me beforehand). As I listened, I thought about the role of ...

• Windows Azure and the many faces of cloud

  
  Software as Services — Authority: 510
  One of the reasons it’s so difficult to satisfactorily define cloud computing is that people have many different needs and expectations from a cloud platform. To start a conversation about cloud — especially one that seeks to evaluate the relative merits of competing cloud platforms — without first identifying ...

• Can I get a price check on this AMI?

  
  William Vambenepe's blog — Authority: 480
  I almost titled this entry “Cloud + Tivoli = $” in reference to the previous one (”Cloud + proprietary software = ♥”). In that earlier entry, I described the opportunity for Cloud providers to benefit themselves, their customers and software vendors by drastically reducing the frictions involved in using ...

• Cloud + proprietary software = ♥

  
  William Vambenepe's blog — Authority: 480
  When I left HP for Oracle, in the summer of 2007, a friend made the argument that Cloud Computing (I think we were still saying “Utility Computing” at the time) would be the death of proprietary software. There was a lot to support this view. EC2 was one year old and its usage was overwhelmingly based on open ...

• Can your hypervisor radio for air support?

  
  William Vambenepe's blog — Authority: 480
  As I was reading about Microsoft Azure recently, a military analogy came to my mind. Hypervisors are tanks. Application development and runtime platforms compose the air force. Tanks (and more generally the mechanization of ground forces) transformed war in the 20th century. They multiplied the fighting capabilities ...
