Big telcos with cloudy pretensions

Big telcos with cloudy pretensions

By Paul Miller on July 6, 2015

Two stories in the past week, to remind us that big telecoms incumbents have the customer relationships, the brand recognition, the data centres, the network and the ambition to offer cloud services. These are normally aimed at their existing customers, particularly big enterprises with existing co-lo relationships to these telcos. They’re also, normally, aimed at […]

Amazon binds itself more tightly to the enterprise

Amazon binds itself more tightly to the enterprise

By Paul Miller on April 8, 2015

Amazon Web Services (AWS) spent years being dismissive of anything that didn’t run in an AWS data centre. Private and hybrid clouds were, we were repeatedly and vehemently told, ‘false clouds.’ There was no value in doing anything cloudy any way but the Amazon way. Non-cloudy workloads were, simply, anachronistic. Left alone, they’d get on with the […]

Private cloud silliness

Private cloud silliness

By Paul Miller on May 23, 2014

Private clouds are real. It’s well past time to grow up and accept this. Not every IT workload is most logically run in a cloud, now or in the future. But, for those workloads where cloud is advantageous, it seems likely that public cloud will eventually supplant both private cloud and hybrid cloud deployments. Public […]

The Perceived Risk of The Purely Cloud Deployment

The Perceived Risk of The Purely Cloud Deployment

By Ofir Nachmani on August 22, 2013

In this post series, I will raise some basic questions and will delve deeply into this topic to debate the common resistance to what I call “pure cloud deployment”. Let’s begin with a leading question: Can’t the hybrid economy model live within the public cloud? From the enormous number of conversations with top cloud thought leaders, CIOs, […]

Ravello Systems Announcing General Availability of Its Cloud Application Hypervisor

Ravello Systems Announcing General Availability of Its Cloud Application Hypervisor

By Ofir Nachmani on August 14, 2013

The public cloud market is young, despite AWS’ growth and current worth of a few billion dollars. Most of the enterprise’s IT resources are still hosted on the organizational premise supported by VMware hypervisor. The enterprise hybrid challenge is hidden in the cloud utility model’s basic notion of hardware as software, whereas legacy application topology, […]

Missing the Point on Private, Public, and Hybrid Cloud APIs

Missing the Point on Private, Public, and Hybrid Cloud APIs

By Randy Bias on July 1, 2013

At the recent Structure event in San Francisco, I watched Werner Vogels’ presentation, along with about 500 others in a packed auditorium. Werner is the CTO of Amazon Web Services and one of the industry’s more prophetic voices. (I was honored to share the keynote stage with him at Cloud Connect a couple of years ago.) During Werner’s conversation with […]

Why "Enterprise SaaS" may soon be a misnomer

Why "Enterprise SaaS" may soon be a misnomer

By Chris Yeh on June 13, 2013

One of the most exciting developments to hit the enterprise software world in decades was the rise of SaaS.  Companies like Salesforce.com blazed a trail that built enormous amounts of wealth and improved the lives of end-users. Prior to SaaS, most enterprise software was sold based on perpetual licenses, to CIOs and IT departments, with […]

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 […]

5 Key Essentials of Cloud Workloads Migration

5 Key Essentials of Cloud Workloads Migration

By Ofir Nachmani on May 14, 2013

The benefits of migrating workloads between different cloud providers or between private and public clouds can only truly be redeemed with an understanding of the cloud business model and cloud workload management. It seems that cloud adoption has reached the phase where advanced cloud users are creating their own hybrid solutions or migrating between clouds […]

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 […]
