- The Cloud Its Benefits and Its Threats | Cloud Computing Magazine – An Eli Lilly Cloud Success Story
- Telematique, water and fire. – In May, Christofer Hoff wrote a very interesting post about one of the unintended consequences of enterprise use of cloud services … the serious and costly impact of right to audit clauses in the service contracts and their impact on *aaS. He posits that the enterprise customer now does make much heavier use of the RTA. So distinctly different is the level of use, that it's generating exceptionally high costs for the *aaS provider.
- Rational Survivability » Inter-Cloud Rock, Paper, Scissors: Service Brokers, Semantic Web or APIs? – Inter-Cloud represents one vision that describes how Clouds of many types will interoperate, federate and provide for workload portability as well as how those that provide these services and those that consume them, will interact. You can see an interesting summary of these issues here in a fellow colleague’s post titled: “From India to Intercloud”
- Virtualization improves efficiency, but brings power and cooling challenges – Network World – With virtualization increasing CPU utilization to 70%, "that generates a lot more heat," says Turner, director of networks and systems at Brandeis. "If you walk behind the racks of virtualized servers, the heat is just pouring out of those guys. … We're seeing heat dump into these rooms like never before."
- People, process limitations hamper x86 virtualization, IBM security expert says – Network World – X86 virtualization is often a risky proposition for highly regulated, mission-critical applications, because people and processes are not ready for virtualization and the security risks it introduces, IBM security expert Joshua Corman argued at Interop Las Vegas this week
- 7 half-truths about virtualization ( – Internet – Hardware Systems – Virtualization ) – Virtualization is revolutionizing the data center, mostly for the better. But no technology is without potential pitfalls. Problems related to management, security, ROI and power use can all trip up a virtualization deployment that isn't planned properly.
- Managed Private Clouds, Server Virtualization & Virtual Dedicated Servers at Rackspace – Our Managed Private Clouds are an even more secure and reliable approach to public Clouds. Built on dedicated, branded servers running VMware, these environments are protected by your dedicated Rackspace firewalls. They are designed to provide you with the best of both Cloud and Managed Hosting. So, the most important benefits of the Cloud—resource and budget optimization with rapid scaling up or down—can be had with the higher security and improved reliability of a Rackspace Managed Hosting Solution.
