BotchagalupeMarks for August 13th – 04:15
By John | August 14, 2009
These are my links for August 13th from 04:15 to 05:42:
- Linux Today – "Penguin on Demand" Extends Cloud Computing – Penguin Computing, experts in high performance computing solutions, today announced the immediate availability of “Penguin on Demand™” – or POD – a new service that delivers, for the first time, a complete high performance computing (HPC) solution in the cloud.
- Ten observations about cloud computing | The Pervasive Datacenter – CNET News – Private clouds exist and will continue to exist. I'm not a huge fan of the term, but many enterprises simultaneously want to take advantage of the technologies and approaches associated with public clouds while continuing to operate their own IT infrastructure (or, at least, to maintain dedicated hardware at a third-party provider). Some of this is doubtless "server hugging" and some is giving IT-as-usual a trendy new name. However, there are lots of reasons why enterprises can't just move to a multi-tenant public cloud provider and it's not even clear that it makes economic sense for many to do so.
- Cloud Security Panel: Is cloud computing more or less secure than on-premises IT? | Dana Gardner’s BriefingsDirect | ZDNet.com – Listen to the podcast. Find it on iTunes/iPod and Podcast.com. Download or view the transcript. Sponsor: The Open Group.
- Guide to Sorting Hot from Hype – Twitter is out, cloud computing is all hot air and people have finally found a use for wikis, according to an overview of Gartner's Hype Cycle for 2009.
- Rail Spikes: Sprinkle: the provisioning tool for people who don’t have huge server clusters – They are both awesome for what they do, but what I don’t like is all the infrastructure I have to maintain to run Chef or Puppet. You need a server to host your server configuration on. But I only have one server![1] Chef does have a solo version which can download configuration from a web server and run it. That’s cool, but I don’t want to have a web server just for putting server configuration on.
