OpenNebula 4.4 Beta Released
You are surely aware of the new features introduced in OpenNebula 4.2 Flame, and its focus to strengthen the most demanded and useful features. So now is time to move forward and implement new features demanded by our uses and that’s why the beta version OpenNebula 4.4 Retina is out for testing! This release includes important features that meet real demands from production environments, with a focus on optimization of storage, monitoring, cloud bursting, and public cloud interfaces.
OpenNebula Retina includes support for multiple system datastores, which enables a much more efficient usage of the storage resources for running Virtual Machines. This feature ships with different scheduling policies for storage load balancing, intended to instruct OpenNebula to spread the running Virtual Machines across different storage mediums to optimize their use. This translates in the ability to define more than one disk (or other backend) to hold running VMs in a particular cluster. Monitorization subsystem in OpenNebula underwent a major redesign as well, effectively switching from a pulling mechanism to a pushing model, with the implications in scalability improvements.

Impact of the Allegations Surrounding the NSA Spying on Cloud Privacy
The latest headlines in the ongoing surveillance soap opera focus on the revelation that the U.S. has been eavesdropping directly on German Prime Minister Angela Merkel. The reaction in Germany has been strong with many officials publically condemning the surveillance.
After the NSA’s activity first came to light, many in Europe called for stricter protection of EU data and privacy rights. But now, Merkel is calling for stronger Internet technology in Germany, specifically to address the fact all major data centers are in the U.S. and China.
It isn’t clear exactly how these latest developments will further impact German and other EU countries’ usage of U.S. cloud service providers. Germany already has some of the strictest data privacy regulations in the world. Known as BDSG, German regulations include restrictions on how personal information is collected, requiring explicit permission from individuals. BDSG also requires a more formalized structure for data transfers across the German border.

The Time Is Now for 21st Century Leadership
I’ve just had the opportunity to preview my good friend Melvin Greer’s newest effort, «21st Century Leadership: Harnessing Innovation, Accelerating Business Success».
