Last year, cloud computing pundits predicted that 2012 would be the year when the clouds would open. They were right as cloud computing enthusiasts all over are embracing the open ecosystem; however, denying one vendor the right to serve as the de facto API is only the tip of the iceberg of this computing climate change.
In his Day 3 Keynote at the 10th International Cloud Expo, John Engates, CTO of Rackspace, will discuss the open ecosystem and how, ultimately, winning cloud technologies will...

While storage area networks (SANs) have become the ubiquitous deployment model for interconnecting data storage systems via high-speed networks such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI, IT administrators are now rethinking the traditional SAN in light of new technologies and economic models enabled by the cloud.
Cloud storage and enterprise-class cloud storage gateways have recently begun to overcome these limitations using a pay-as-you-go cost model, unlimited capacity, multi-site scalability and even ...
Infrastructure as a Service cloud platforms enable enterprise to experience agility. Infrastructure agility is key to deploying Big Data platforms and applications. As datasets grow in size and numbers in the enterprise, there needs to be a place to store, secure and analyze the datasets. IaaS clouds like Eucalyptus, with the industry's de facto standard IaaS API implementation, can be “the place” to enable enterprises to deploy Big Data analytics and applications.
Because all data is now in a...

When developing your security architecture, look to the 500 year old medieval castle model to create layers of protection. And this best practice extends itself to the cloud as security-as-a-service.
One of the true benefits of the cloud is the ability to reconfigure and create a stronger, more act...
OpenStack gets one of the most crucial endorsements as HP goes into the public beta on May 10th. I got the private beta access a couple of months ago and I tried a few scenarios. Though it has a long way to go, HP Cloud looks complete in its approach and is ready to take head on!
Soon after going i...
