Unpicking the multi-cloud at GigaOM Structure

Unpicking the multi-cloud at GigaOM Structure

By Paul Miller on May 16, 2013

Image © Mission Bay Conference Center Last month, RightScale’s State of the Cloud report got me thinking about the rise of multi-cloud solutions. Next month, I’ll be moderating a Mapping Session at GigaOM’s Structure event to work out how, where, when, why and if this trend is going to prove significant. Hybrid clouds, in which one [...]

Survey lifts covers on Cloud Promiscuity: good thing, bad thing, or who cares?

Survey lifts covers on Cloud Promiscuity: good thing, bad thing, or who cares?

By Paul Miller on April 30, 2013

Figures from RightScale‘s latest State of the Cloud Report (free registration required) suggest “a strong interest in multi-cloud strategies” amongst respondents. The rationale for hybrid cloud (mixing a public cloud service like Amazon’s with something running in your own data centre, colocation site or hosting facility) is reasonably well understood, but why might companies choose to use more [...]

Hewlett Packard: a tale of many clouds

Hewlett Packard: a tale of many clouds

By Paul Miller on December 13, 2012

Hewlett Packard used its Discover event in Frankfurt last week to reassert the company’s cloud credentials. Public, private, hybrid; HP is painting pictures that encompass them all, whilst seeking to protect hardware revenues and reassure conservative executives at some of its largest and most profitable customers. But HP has been here before, making bold claims [...]

Google Compute Engine Is Gonna Change The Public Cloud Game

Google Compute Engine Is Gonna Change The Public Cloud Game

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 18, 2012

During the last Google I/O, Google’s user conference, Google announced Google Compute Engine (GCE). GCE was Google’s answer to Amazon EC2 and they opened up their private beta to handful of people. I was not lucky enough to get into the list but I recently got an opportunity to check it out myself. Before I talk [...]

East & West Coast PaaS, Being Polyglot, Reply to Dan Turkenkopf

By Adron Hall on August 13, 2012

Dan (he’s a good guy, check him out on Twitter @dturkenk), your “East Coast vs West Coast PaaS Psychology. And Why It Matters.” is great write up. Loved it! I’ve got to say, I’m pretty much in agreement with almost every single thing you’ve written here. Matter of fact I’m staunchly in agreement with a [...]

Europe Sets Course for Cloud

Europe Sets Course for Cloud

By John Taschek on January 31, 2012

There’s a perception that cloud computing has become a “mature” technology, a perception shared by few but anticipated by most everyone else with the exception of those trying to preserve their self-interests. I don’t blame them – each person inherently protects self-interests. They’re wrong though. Cloud is not mature. It is evolving.  The paradox is [...]

Blue Murder ?

Blue Murder ?

By Christian Reilly on April 6, 2011

I guess it used to be called “Stormchasing” – where groups of seemingly heroic, but clearly just plain stupid, raincoat-clad student types armed with an entry-level standard def video camera caught clips of each other laughing and shouting such ludicrous lines as “oh crap, Bob, it’s coming straight at us” as a 125mph wind got [...]

Public Clouds :-)

The Hollywood Culture

By Christian Reilly on March 13, 2011

Debates are fun, especially when you are jousting with such fantastic and respected cloud dignitaries as Chris Hoff, Adrian Cockcroft and Simon Wardley. Come on, I mean who wouldn’t enjoy a good natured, well intended, yet fierce back and forth about the various clouds and their various philosophies ? Well, March 12 was a day [...]

Enterprises Consider Business Agility As A Primary Driver Towards Cloud

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 10, 2010

I recently had a chance to read a Sandhill.com report titled Leaders In The Cloud. It is a pretty comprehensive report analyzing the business value of cloud computing for both customers and vendors. This report has a quantitative survey of IT executives from businesses of all sizes and shapes. Anyone wanting to understand the cloud [...]

CloudCamp Sydney – The Same Old Memes

CloudCamp Sydney – The Same Old Memes

Two weeks ago the Australasian CloudCamp tour hit Sydney for an event at the National Innovation Centre of the Australian Technology Park. A crowd of around 90 people turned up for some lively discussions – as always there were some common themes – the legal and jurisdictional aspects of Cloud Computing and the public/private cloud [...]

Public vs Private Cloud Brouhaha: My Take

Public vs Private Cloud Brouhaha: My Take

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 24, 2009

Image via Wikipedia The blogosphere and Twitterverse is full of debates about whether private clouds are actually clouds or not. I have had my own share of debates on the Twitter and I thought I will bring it over to Cloud Ave for further enlightenment. For a change, I am going to follow the Redmonk [...]

On Private Cloud, Public Clouds and Where Apprenda Sits In All Of That

By Ben Kepes on August 24, 2009

The other day I was reading one of Barton George’s always entertaining posts (as an aside, Barton has recently signed on as Cloud Evangelist at Dell – watch this space for Dell’s cloudy moves). In his post entitled “Internal Clouds? We don’t need no Stinking Internal Clouds”, Barton’s two big takeaways referenced from a Forrester [...]

What’s in a Cloud (or Not)

By Guest Posts on August 24, 2009

I read a lot of articles on technology and it always amazes me the degree of heated debate that goes on in the blogosphere, social media and elsewhere over simple definitions.  What caught my attention today was the number of posts and comments on Twitter about what was or was not Cloud. So the question [...]
