BotchagalupeMarks for July 24th – 08:10
By John | July 26, 2009
These are my links for July 24th through July 25th:
- An Introduction to Cloud Computing and Business Model Disruption | Cloud Computing Journal – Gray Hall offers his insights about the critically important question we’re asking: how will cloud computing disrupt your business model? We start by defining a basic yet useful framework for understanding business models; this framework applies to businesses of all types and is adapted from Wikipedia
- Virtually Painless ROI: Will UCS Unify IT Staffs? – Traditional data centers tend to be segregated into functional silos – a model that has endured in the physical world largely because of the crisp lines of demarcation. Virtualization is shaking up the status quo and increasing demand for more efficient IT processes. Cisco's UCS helps automate and streamline the stovepipe model by unifying network, storage and servers with virtualization. It also provides an opportunity for IT organizations to begin chipping away at those silo walls.
- LibJars From Hadoop Uploaded For Cascading « Coffee’s Gone Already? – I’m learning more and more about Hadoop and the Cascading project built to run on top of it. Hadoop is a Map-Reduce style cluster computing system and Cascading is a suite of tools built on top of Hadoop to give the programmer a small lexicon of operations to talk about Map-Reduce work. In general, Cascading is expressive enough, though I think that I may be falling back to a pure Hadoop Map-Reduce implementation for some of my work.
- People Over Process » IT Management & Cloud #48 – BSM, Tivoli Partners, Hadoop Uses, Splunk 4.0, Conferences – “Skip cloud, go right to Hadoop” – John’s experiments with Hadoop and IT Management performance metrics, 6 months worth. It’s easy to add new, unstructured data to existing data sets (a smart, new insight). For example, tracking email campaigns for effectiveness based on state, etc.
- NEW TRENDS IN IT: Yale Researchers Create Database-Hadoop Hybrid –
- Open source and the cloud: An unbalanced marriage • The Register – But will cloud computing help the companies behind open source software, who pay their bills by collecting cash for commercial support? Or better still, will it help them stay in business at all?
Click here to find out more!Good questions. And the Red Hat-sponsored Open Source Cloud Computing Forum held Tuesday aimed to answer this and other questions from the business and technology sides. Technology dominated, but for now, let's just talk about business.
