Cloud Expo Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!
The open B2B transaction cloud integrates social media, business intelligence
and open system-to-system connectivity. Social media becomes a common part of
day-to-day business transactions. Buyers and suppliers are influenced by each
other, learn best practices and save money by being a part of a community.
In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Vilayat William, Chief
Business Development Officer at TBlox, will show how the key to success of
the transaction cloud is the self-connectivity of any IT system, access to
all data in your business life and ability to share with anybody at any time
on any device.

Cisco has bought start-up vCider for its expertise in developing virtual
network overlay technology for secure data center infrastructure. The price
wasn't disclosed.
GigaOm rates it as a counter to VMware buying Nicira, which, it says, "has
strained the once close partnership between Cisco and VMware." It figures
it'll be used "to build a unified yet distributed Cisco-based cloud."
The new prize will be integrated into Cisco's Cloud Computing organization,
reporting to cloud CTO Lew Tucker, the vice-chairman of the new OpenStack
Foundation.

Cloud Expo Breaking News By Elizabeth White  Cloud providers are increasingly looking at application marketplaces as the best way of enabling customers to onboard software to their cloud. However, providers often lack the deep pockets or extensive manpower required to populate the marketplace; they must engage and empower an ISV ecosystem to populate it on their behalf. As such, providers must offer ISVs an easy way to publish and maintain their software in the store, as well as make money from it.

Want to understand in just hours what experts have spent many hundreds of days deciphering?
Cloud computing is a technology that has rapidly evolving peppered with a lot of hype along the way. Customers find it hard to navigate through this and make sense of what aspects of this technology will give them real business benefit.
Cloud Computing Bootcamp, led by our 2012 Bootcamp Instructor Larry Carvalho, is a great way to get a practical understanding of this technology. We offer multiple days of actionable insight into what vendor offerings are currently available and help you comprehend their strategy.
The ever-popular Bootcamp, which is now held regularly around the world, is being held in conjunction with the 10th Cloud Expo, June 11-14, 2012, at the Javits Center, New York, NY. Reads: 7,030  By Larry Bettino Did you know that ninety percent of the data in the world has been created in the last two years? Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

Reads: 36,589  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.
