Cloudian Polishes Its S3-Compatible Cloud Storage
Obviously Storage-as-a-Utility will never work unless people use it that way.
Cloudian, a Goldman Sachs-backed cloud storage software start-up whose technological roots go back a decade or so, means to see that they do, especially the chi-chi telecom ones and the Fortune 5000, despite their lagging concerns about data management and protection in the cloud.
Evidently Cloudian was able to dispel any fears NTT Communications might have had because it’s rebranded Cloudian’s widgetry as CloudN and sells it as a multi-petabyte Storage-as-a-Service and Backup-as-a-Service.
Besides NTT, Cloudian’s customers include Vodafone, Nextel, SoftBank, Nifty and Lunacloud and the stuff’s only been on the market for about 18 months.
Cloudian is now out to get the names of more Service Providers and big companies notched on its belt.
SMAC, Mobile Collaboration and Google
Have you had a chance to review the full inventory of Google’s solutions and apps lately? I have been working with many of them this week and am impressed with how Google is enabling enterprises to become true social businesses. It is very interesting how they are not just demonstrating cool and innovative solutions but entirely new ways of running and managing businesses.
If fact, Jon Reed, John Appleby and myself recorded a Google+ Hangout session this week on the subject of enterprise mobility. I will post the link of the recorded session as soon as it is ready. I suggest that all businesses should study Google Hangout and understand how powerful it is. Google Hangout is now embedded in Google Docs, Sheets and other apps. Anytime you need to collaborate, simply push the Hangout button in the document. Very interesting and useful!
Cloud Migration Tips #3: Plan to Fail
Planning to deploy or migrate an application to a cloud environment is a big deal. In my last post we discussed the value of using real business and IT requirements to drive the justification of using a cloud architecture. We also explored the importance of using monitoring information to understand your before and after picture of application performance and overall success.
In this post I am going to dive deeper into the planning phase. You can’t expect to throw a half assed plan in place and just deal with problems as they pop up during an application migration. That will almost certainly result in frustration for the end users, IT staff, and the business who relies upon the application.

Let’s face it, business units are bypassing IT and are using the likes of EC2 and Rackspace. Developers are driving this trend for the sake of agility and hindrance-free innovation. Security is not their top priority and is usually an afterthought, and this makes IT cringe.

During this session we’ll broaden our views to think on an Internet Scale by dissecting a video publishing application built with The SoftLayer Platform, Message Queuing, Object Storage, and Drupal. By examining a scalable modular application build that can handle unpredictable traffic, you’ll be able to grow your development arsenal and pick up a few strategies to apply to your own projects.

Cloud Expo New York: Evolving Cloud Computing Models
Private clouds are a great way to provide real-time service delivery of IT resources with a single-tenant, customized, secure environment. However, the challenge of scaling and managing physical resources still exists. The solution may be to leverage an Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider to build an off-premise Private Cloud to add scalability to your current private cloud.
In his general session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Duke Skarda, CTO of SoftLayer, will discuss:
How to achieve scalability at Internet speed

Many CIOs are implementing cloud computing enterprise architectures to address these challenges with results varying greatly. Why are some organizations seeing only limited results from cloud computing implementations while others are increasing market share, decreasing costs, generating value, and innovating faster?
