Not all Redshifts are created equal...

AWS, Redshift and Co-Opetition

By Ben Kepes on December 3, 2012

Long time technology commentators understand the tensions between platform companies, intent on both growing their business and creating a healthy ecosystem, and ecosystem partners who leverage what the platform brings, but remain apprehensive about the long term intensions of the platform vendor. Case in point – the growing number of services offered by Amazon Web […]

HP Discover Europe and the Viability of HP’s Cloud Play

HP Discover Europe and the Viability of HP’s Cloud Play

By Ben Kepes on November 28, 2012

I’m heading to Europe for HP’s Discover event and the conference has me thinking about the last Discover event I attended in Las Vegas earlier his year and HP’s awful few weeks around the Autonomy debacle.

Eucalyptus' AWS Bet

Eucalyptus’ AWS Bet

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 27, 2012

Yesterday Eucalyptus announced the new version of their software and, in the process, more closely aligned with AWS. It is not surprising given the ground realities of cloud infrastructure market. I would even argue that it is a smart bet by Eucalyptus which could help them as enterprises are seriously considering AWS off late. Before […]

Re:Invent Announcements–Boundary Introduces Pre-Emptive Monitoring

By Ben Kepes on November 27, 2012

This week marks the first Amazon Web Services user conference. The AWS event, re:Invent, is being held in Las Vegas and given the massive awareness that AWS and its ecosystem has, we should see lots of product announcements from both Amazon themselves and ecosystem companies. First up is Boundary who is today releasing a new […]

GreenQloud and Xeround Launch Cloud Database on 100% Renewable Energy

GreenQloud and Xeround Launch Cloud Database on 100% Renewable Energy

By Ben Kepes on October 29, 2012

A year or two ago a minor storm circled around the cloud community after a report was published questioning the environmental impacts of cloud computing. The report was pretty flawed – it omitted to take into account the generally lower per-unit impact of cloud as opposed to traditional IT, but that didn’t stop some hand […]

In the Quest for TCO, We Lose Sight of the Real Issue–Part One

In the Quest for TCO, We Lose Sight of the Real Issue–Part One

By Ben Kepes on September 5, 2012

While it is undeniable that in the majority of cases cloud will be cheaper than traditional models of delivery. The benefits that cloud brings in terms of agility and flexibility far outweigh the cost benefits – looking at TCO alone is a race to the bottom of the cost-cutting hill.

Presentation: Cloud Security Management – Overview and Challenges

By Ofir Nachmani on August 26, 2012

What’s your first priority cloud security concern ? From an attacker’s perspective, cloud providers aggregate access to many victims’ data into a single point of entry. As the cloud environments become more and more popular, they will increasingly become the focus of attacks. Some organizations think that liability can be outsourced, but no, it cannot! […]

Amazon Cloud and the Enterprise – Is it a love story? (Free Infographic Included)

By Ofir Nachmani on August 23, 2012

As befitting any great online vendor, Amazon cloud product guys listen carefully to their market targets and ensure fast implementation and delivery to satisfy their needs. It is clear that Amazon cloud is eager to conquer the enterprise market, as I already mentioned in my past post, “Amazon AWS is the Cloud (for now anyway)“. […]

When did Amazon abandon Main Street for ‘the Skyscrapers of Cloud Hosting’ ?

When did Amazon abandon Main Street for ‘the Skyscrapers of Cloud Hosting’ ?

By Paul Miller on August 20, 2012

In the competitive world of cloud-based computing infrastructure, Amazon remains top dog. It’s highly visible, its footprint is almost global, it incrementally adds features or cuts prices to keep competitors on their toes, and it generally manages to meet most people’s needs, most of the time. It may not always offer the lowest prices, or […]

On Cloud Outages (Yeah, They Happen)

By Ben Kepes on August 8, 2012

Recently the world went wild when Amazon Web Services suffered an extended service outage. I’m not going to make a song and dance about AWS’ woes – suffice it to say that every provider, Cloud or otherwise, has outages. I will say that with Cloud Computing outages are more obvious than with traditional on-premise infrastructure. […]

Crunching the numbers in search of a greener cloud

Crunching the numbers in search of a greener cloud

By Paul Miller on July 17, 2012

Although sometimes portrayed as a big computer in the sky, the reality of cloud computing is far more mundane. Clouds run on physical hardware, located in data centres, connected to one another and to their customers via high speed networks. All of that hardware must be powered and cooled, and all of those offices must […]

How to Synch S3 Buckets in AWS and design for failover

How to Synch S3 Buckets in AWS and design for failover

By Dan Morrill on July 1, 2012

News of Friday’s problems with the Virginia Data Centers power system taking down sites like Netflix and Pinterestshows that sometimes not programming for fail over or data center failure is a pretty foolish thing to do. Especially with costs somewhat reasonable per gigabyte in Amazon’s S3 system. Anyone who does not program for fail over […]
