As much as information technology has changed in the last 10 years, the next decade promises even more significant change. And as cloud technology becomes more prevalent, IT enterprises will be driven to reconsider the status quo around just about everything we know, including Physical Infrastructure, Virtualization, Automation, Service Management, and Security.
Cloud technology and virtualization of virtually everything means rethinking the economic models around physical infrastructure, the emergence of a new class of providers as well as a greater degree of standardization around virtualized OS & Middleware configurations. There are increasing expectations from consumers of data center services - instant provisioning & de-provisioning, just for openers. And with a new generation of workers that expect anytime, anywhere access to corporate data, securing your data outside of your data center walls has become a greater business imperative albeit far more difficult.
In this session you will learn what's needed to consider to ensure your enterprise’s foray into cloud computing successfully and securely meets the needs of your enterprise. .

Articles & Feature Stories SAP CRM on Verizon’s Cloud By Maureen O'Gara  Verizon and SAP America are supposed to deliver SAP’s Customer Relationship Management rapid-deployment solution to enterprise workers through Verizon’s Computing as a Service cloud.
The SAP widgetry offers a ready-to-use combination of software, pre-defined services and pre-configured content at a pre-defined price that can be deployed sometimes in as little as eight weeks.
Users will be able to access the stuff from their desktops or mobile devices via SAP’s bought-in Sybase Unwired Platform. Mar. 20, 2011 11:00 AM EDT Reads: 949 | Amazon Gives Virtual Private Clouds Internet Access By Maureen O'Gara  The Amazon cloud got fitter for the enterprise Tuesday, creating a hurdle for rivals.
Its 19-month-old Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) – which involves infrastructure off in a secure, private part of its cloud – no longer requires a secure virtual private network (VPN) connection. It can now be gotten to through the Internet.
Users can specify which Amazon VPC resources they want to be directly accessible over the Internet and which they don’t.
That means they can set up public-facing EC2 and S3 subnets by setting up virtual networks in the Amazon cloud and keep their back-end databases and application servers sacrosanct. Mar. 20, 2011 10:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,034 | Verizon and SAP to Jointly Deliver Cloud Computing Enterprise Solution By Elizabeth White  Verizon and SAP America have announced on that they will jointly deliver the SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) rapid-deployment solution to enterprise workers through Verizon's flagship cloud offering, Computing as a Service. Workers will now be able to access SAP CRM from their desktops or their mobile devices.
Kerry Bailey, group president, cloud strategy and services for Verizon, stated: "Verizon and SAP have joined forces to harness the true potential of the cloud by delivering proven enterprise applications that enable workers to enhance their ability to serve clients and to better business outcomes. Together, we are opening up a whole new world that allows clients to truly work without boundaries." Mar. 17, 2011 05:30 PM EDT Reads: 815 | Harris Corp., EMC and VCE Announced Alliance for Cloud Computing Solutions By Elizabeth White  Harris Corporation, EMC Corporation, and the Virtual Computing Environment Company (VCE) on Wednesday announced a strategic alliance to jointly develop and market new trusted multi-tenant cloud solutions to further accelerate the adoption of cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) by commercial and government enterprises. The alliance will focus on maximizing the benefits of multi-tenant cloud solutions - which optimize resource sharing while providing high levels of isolation to the tenants and quality of service throughout a shared environment. More importantly, users would be able to have added confidence that the underlying infrastructure has enhanced security and is operating to the specified level of assurance and compliance. Mar. 17, 2011 04:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,163 | Forecasting Conditions for the 2011 Data Center By Mark Jamensky  They say you can’t predict the weather. Like so many clichés, however, this one isn’t quite true. Meteorologists have a host of tools at their fingertips that help them recognize, track and analyze weather patterns in order to support predictions that are often accurate, or at least reasonably close. The same is true in the computing industry, where patterns emerge in data centers and enterprises much as cloud formations become apparent in the skies. With a careful eye and extensive knowledge informed by years of experience and frequent conversations with frontline IT professionals, we can predict future trends with a relatively high degree of accuracy. The beginning of a new decade is an opportune moment in which to forecast where virtualization – the primary IT initiative of our time – will encounter stormy weather and where it might be welcomed by clear skies.

This company is on a roll today announcing availability of its DynaCenter software with support for Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS), which provides a fast and easy way to migrate existing physical or virtual server images to UCS.
In the past month, Racemi announced support for conversions between VMware, Xen and Hyper-V virtual servers in any combination or direction and enabling hybrid cloud implementations for Amazon EC2 and Rackspace by automating movement of server workloads from on-premises datacenters or private clouds.
DynaCenter is image-based provisioning software that automates the movement of entire server images, whether physical or virtual - including operating systems, storage and network configurations and applications - to an... Mar. 17, 2011 10:15 AM EDT Reads: 714 |

Ulitzer's annual "most influential Cloud bloggers" list was announced at Cloud Expo, which drew more delegates than all other Cloud-related events put together worldwide. "The world's 50 most influential Cloud bloggers 2010" list will be announced at the Cloud Expo 2010 East, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center, in New York City, with more than 5,000 expected to attend. Reads: 22,052  The Secret Behind The Incredible Growth of Cloud Expo By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in. Reads: 7,810  Further cementing its position as The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World, the organizers of the 7th Cloud Expo, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, announced today that the event will also feature – on November 2nd, 2010 – a CloudCamp unconference.
CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  What is Cloud Computing? 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.
