Microsoft Slashes Price of Its Cloud Database

By Maureen O'Gara

As a result, it said, of â€œcustomer feedback and evolving usage patterns,â€ Microsoft cut the price of its cloud-ified SQL Azure database 48%â€“75% for databases larger than 1GB and introduced a new entry-level 100MB model. It blogged that itâ€™s noticed that many projects start small but need to grow quickly so now as the userâ€™s database grows the price per GB will decline significantly. It also said that many cloud adopters and customers with smaller workloads want an inexpensive option so thatâ€™s where the 100MB option comes from. Amazon may have made them do it.

Cloud Expo New York: Copyright and the Cloud

By Liz McMillan

Wide and cheap availability of cloud-based media services is upon us. With the transformations these services are already bringing to the consumption of music, video and interactive media, change has likewise come to professional workflows. Documents in 2012 are read, written, collaborated on, and distributed anywhere an Internet-enabled device can reach â€“ which is to say, everywhere. In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Christopher Kenneally, Director of Business Development at Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), will discuss how among research institutions and other knowledge-intensive enterprises (e.g., R&D units, medical research teams), widespread adoption of this new cloud functionality will bring dramatic changes in the ecology and characteristics of content use and re-use. Repertory-style licensing is already an important component to facilitate this shift in know...

Rackspace Buys SharePoint Expertise

By Maureen O'Gara

Fresh off a happy quarter, Rackspace said Thursday that itâ€™s bought SharePoint911, one of those you-never-heard-of-them outfits that does SharePoint consulting, training and JumpStart services so it can deliver newfangled SharePoint services along with its existing SharePoint hosting. It didnâ€™t say how much it paid for the self-funded unit so itâ€™s obviously immaterial. Eight-year-old SharePoint911 includes six Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) and the authors of over 10 SharePoint books and nine SharePoint training courses. Itâ€™s thought Rackspace is fattening up because of AWS. Microsoftâ€™s SharePoint operation is a billion-dollar-a-year business with tens of millions of users. As popular as it is, the software can be crotchety to set up and handle.

Enterprise Transformation Using Cloud and Cloud Platforms at Cloud Expo NY

By Elizabeth White

Cloud is a shift from the focus on underlying technology implementation to leveraging existing implementations and further building upon them. Cloud orchestration or a network of clouds is the wave of the future where these clouds can operate with elasticity, scalability, and efficiency. Effective service management is an important aspect of managing such networks. The transition to the cloud will enable the further aggregation of composite web services and enhanced business-to-business capabilities for integrating processes and applications. In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Ajay Budhraja, CTO at the Department of Justice, will discuss how, for example, the requirement to access multiple clouds will cause a shift toward utilizing identity management services and single sign-on capabilities. With cloud services, a traditional project that just obtained survey informa...

Citrix Floats CloudStack 3

By Maureen O'Gara

Citrix has opened up a beta of its CloudStack 3, the first release of the open source cloud platform under the Citrix brand. Citrix acquired the Java-based cloud management last year when it bought Cloud.com. A full production version of the branded stuff is supposed to be available later this quarter. Citrix said CloudStack is already handling over $1 billion in revenue for more than 85 large-scale production clouds, including Zynga, IDC Frontier and Nokia Research. CloudStack 3 is supposed to be for any size customer that wants to transform virtualized datacenter resources into automated, elastic, self-service clouds in the IaaS fashion of Amazon.

Atos, EMC, VMware Start Cloud Company

By Maureen O'Gara

EMC and VMware are going into the cloud business with Atos, the big, publicly owned, Paris-based global IT services firm, intending to take an equity position in Canopy, an end-to-end cloud company Atos is setting up using EMC and VMware technology. The companies said Wednesday when Canopy was announced that their shareholder agreement wasnâ€™t set in stone yet and wouldnâ€™t be until early Q2 but the Americans are talking about kicking in tens of millions of dollars. At least EMC is. The object of the game is to cash in on what is projected to be a $267 billion cloud market by 2020, up from $59 billion this year.

Start-Up Encrypts Data in the Cloud

By Maureen O'Gara

A Tel Aviv start-up called Porticor thatâ€™s just hit the radar says itâ€™s got a way to secure the cloud, any cloud. Fancy that, a trustworthy cloud. And Porticor delivers its data encryption solution to IaaS and PaaS users through the cloud in minutes. Fancy that. Itâ€™s supposed to solve the biggest challenge for data encryption in the cloud â€“ storing keys. It promises that a userâ€™s data encryption key will never be exposed and that it can deliver data security across virtual disks, databases, distributed storage and file systems. All this wonderfulness, called the Porticor Virtual Private Data (VPD) System, a combination of the start-upâ€™s Virtual Appliance and Virtual Key Management Service, comes complements of its patent-pending homomorphic split-key encryption technology, which is supposed to increase security by an order of magnitude through hosted key management.

Big Data: How Companies Transform Challenges into Business Opportunities

By Larry Bettino

Did you know that ninety percent of the data in the world has been created in the last two years? Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM. As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value. Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

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.
