Thursday, April 10th, 2008Is like me trying to sing RAP music. Last night Businessweek posted an article about “Clouds”. I know this is not supposed to be a technical publication however there are far too many inaccuracies in this article to be ignored.

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Random Thoughts
Does your head hurt yet? Mine does. I am down in the hotel lobby this morning while the family sleeps in (spring break). CNN is blasting on the lobby TV “Barack vs. Hillary†stuff every ten seconds. I keep expecting to see a breaking Amazon vs. Google scroll on the bottom […]

If I Were a CTO at IBM - “Blue Cloud Stuff”
Friday, April 4th, 2008IBM CTO Presentation in Chicago
I would want to know that Amazon does more than just sell books.
I would have heard of 3Tera.
I would know who Cassatt is.
I would read this article before I mention the Google/IBM Cloud initiative. This way I wouldn’t be confused between the difference between Cloud servers and […]

Elastra - Another Cloud Provider
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Elastra Cloud Server
I spoke to the founder of Elastra, Kirill Sheynkman, last week about his new cloud offering, “Elastra Cloud Server”. The Elastra Cloud Server is what I call a “Level 1 Cloud” that is designed to run on top of Amazon’s EC2. Due to their well-designed architecture, however, they have basically positioned themselves to […]
The Night the NYT Used Hadoop and EC2 to Convert 4TB’s
Monday, March 24th, 2008Self-service, Prorated Super Computing Fun!
I hen began some rough calculations and determined that if I used only four machines, it could take some time to generate all 11 million article PDFs. But thanks to the swell people at Amazon, I got access to a few more machines and churned through all 11 million articles in […]
Is IBM’s Blue Cloud a Cloud?
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Last year IBM announced their Blue Cloud. Since then a few of their Blue Clouds have showed up around the world. A few months ago IBM announced a Blue Cloud in Wuxi China and today they announced another one in Dublin. The question is, are these really clouds or just steroid […]

3Tera and Rackspace partner.
Rightscale becomes cloud agnostic by building their own grid framework.
Rightscale is acquired by a big player (e.g. Sun).
IBM waits for someone […]
Cloud Pontification
Saturday, March 15th, 2008James Governor of Redmonk wrote a blog article called “15 Ways to Tell Its Not Cloud Computing” and as much as I like these guys I believe his article was way off the mark. First off as I have been saying, some cloud definitions need to be drawn before you talk about clouds otherwise the […]
Does Your Hosted Provider Give You This Kind of Elasticity?
Friday, March 14th, 2008A little over a month ago I switched my blog site over from Amazon’s EC2 to Mosso.com in preparation of some viral activities I was planning. Some of those activities did hit and Mosso has supported my traffic fluctuations brilliantly. Even though Amazon uses “Elastic” as part of the EC2 name it really […]
