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, […]

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 […]

Another Data Point on Ascendancy of OpenStack Cloud

Another Data Point on Ascendancy of OpenStack Cloud

By Randy Bias on June 14, 2013

Earlier this week, I gave the keynote address at the Storage Plumbing and Data Engineering Conference in Santa Clara (it’s abbreviated SPDEcon and pronounced, “Speedy-con,” by the way). Sponsored by the SNIA, the event is targeted for hardcore storage development and data engineers who configure, integrate and support storage and data management solutions – often called “storage […]

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 […]

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 […]

CloudBees Multi-Cloud Approach: A Lesson For Cloud Service Providers?

CloudBees Multi-Cloud Approach: A Lesson For Cloud Service Providers?

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 12, 2012

Last month CloudBees (previous CloudAve coverage), the Java PaaS provider and the company behind Jenkins, announced the availability of CloudBees AnyCloud, their multi-cloud strategy in an era where every cloud provider is offering support to multiple infrastructure services underneath. Though the news is a month old, I got briefed by them recently and the discussions […]

Early Signs Of Big Data Going Mainstream

By Chirag Mehta on November 7, 2011

Today, Cloudera announced a new $40m funding round to scale their sales and marketing efforts and a partnership with NetApp where NetApp will resell Cloudera’s Hadoop as part of their solution portfolio. These both announcements are critical to where the cloud and Big Data are headed. Big Data going mainstream: Hadoop and MapReduce are not […]
