The benefits of cloud computing are well documented: faster time to value, lower total cost of ownership, and greater scalability. So, what's holding up adoption? Concerns include data security, data privacy, loss of governance, regulatory compliance, and data sovereignty. How should organizations address these challenges to leverage the proven benefits of cloud computing?

Very few trends in IT have generated as much buzz as cloud computing. In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Mark Hinkle, Director, Cloud Computing Community at Citrix, will cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing. The bulk of the conversation will focus on the open source software that can be used to build compute clouds (infrastructure-as-a-service) and the complementary open source management tools that can be combined to automate the management...
As commercial enterprises and the federal sector begin to embrace the public cloud, large organizations are facing a roadblock when it comes to compliance with various data privacy laws and industry regulations. Whether your company falls under E.U. data protection laws, HIPAA PHI guidelines, the U.S.’s FEDRamp requirements, or other regulatory guidelines, the public cloud is not out of reach.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Mike Morrissey, VP, Research & Development at Pe...
The proliferation of device connectivity is redefining the functionality requirements and capabilities of many embedded systems as more and more of these devices look to leverage the “Cloud.” While many commercial software and hardware component vendors have begun to realign their value propositions to satisfy growing demand, commercial-off-the-shelf products (COTS) alone cannot meet every OEM’s needs. As a result, the Embedded Cloud has injected a new level of uncertainty and a new competitive ...

Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive, Hbase, Lucene, Solr? The only thing growing faster than enterprise data these days is the landscape of big data tools. These tools, which are designed to help organizations turn big data into opportunities, are gaining deeper insight into massive volumes of information. A recent Gartner report predicts that enterprise data will increase by 650% over the next five years, which means that the time is now for IT decision makers to determine which big data tools are the best...
Capacity management may not be dead yet, but with the adoption of private clouds it’s barely recognizable. IT organizations are radically changing how they plan and manage infrastructure to cope with the complexity of these large-scale shared environments and prevent the over-provisioning that results from old school planning approaches.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Andrew Hillier, Co-Founder and CTO at CiRBA, will outline best practices for gaining control over dynamic...
I recently read a TechCrunch article titled: The Rise of Big Data Apps and the Fall of SaaS written by Raj De Datta.
I do agree with the prefix. As far as the suffix is concerned, I can only explain why Raj De Datta's opinion is wrong.
I usually tend not to agree with statements about prematur...
When designing applications for the cloud, or extending on-premise applications into the cloud, it should go without saying that you can't just deploy and expect good results.
It is great to see more conversations and coverage around storage metrics that matter beyond simply focusing on cost per GByte or TByte (e.g. space capacity). Likewise, it is also good to see conversations expanding beyond data footprint reduction (DFR) from a space capacity savings or reduction rat...
It’s April in Vancouver, which got me thinking about clouds. Although the IT buzz in 2012 has been dominated by mobile and big data, Cloud computing is still a hot topic, especially since it is an enabler for both. In the public Cloud space, Google just launched Drive.
Over the past decade, we’ve become much more robust in our approach to information security. We recognize that our company’s largest vulnerabilities have to do with its computer systems, and that data security is at the core of loss prevention, disaster recovery, and even normal operations.

I’m a huge fan of context-aware networking. You know, the ability to interpret requests in the context they were made – examining user identity, location, client device along with network condition and server/application status. It’s what imbues the application delivery tier with the agility necessa...
Using Amazon web services for elasticity and scale to build cloud applications.
Traditional IT environments that are built using physical servers can only scale and grow by buying new hardware and software and taking time to install and rack the hardware, configure the software and the application....

Has the world changed more between now (2012) and 1962 that is the last 50 years or the 50 years prior to that (1962-1912)?
Wait a minute! What does this have to do with “Consumerization of IT”?
Believe me, there is a connection – just hold your skepticism – humor me – and read on!
