CliQr Technologies, a cloud management start-up modestly seeded by Google Ventures and Foundation Capital and now part of Google’s new IaaS Compute Engine initiative, says it can put complicated legacy business apps in the cloud fast and painlessly.
It was started by an ex-VMware guy Gaurav Manglik, its CEO.
It’s got widgetry called Cloud Center that’s supposed to let mission-critical x86 Windows- and Linux-based apps get to the cloud and hop from one cloud to another without modification, thumbing their nose at service provider lock-in and the chance of downtime and maybe figuring out where it runs best.

Google Compute Engine – Should Amazon Be Worried?
I have been following the blogosphere and Twitterati ever since the Google IaaS announcement came out officially. Within 24 hours, there have been umpteen number of articles, posts and tweets about how Google is all set to take Amazon head on!

PerspecSys Breaks Down Security Concerns Inhibiting Cloud Adoption
PerspecSys is a privately held company based in Toronto, Canada that specializes in eliminating the security barriers that inhibit enterprise companies from embracing cloud computing. Many companies want to move to the cloud for operational business purposes but are concerned about how to protect their mission critical data along the way. The PerspecSys solution allows organizations to encrypt or tokenize information before it leaves their environment, so they can make the move to the cloud knowing that their sensitive business data remains protected and in their control.
Google Compute Engine – Not AWS Killer (Yet)
Google launched its new “Google Compute Engine” yesterday at I/O. Here’s more info about GCE on the Google Developer’s Blog, and a nice analysis by Ben Kepes on CloudAve. If “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” then it’s clear the guys at Google hold the Amazon Web Services EC2 in very high regard. In many ways, GCE is a really good copy of EC2 circa 2007/2008. There are some differences – like really great encryption for data at rest and in motion – but essentially GCE is a copy of EC2 4-5 years ago.
Open Clouds at Red Hat
Red Hat has been making steady progress toward what is shaping up as a fairly interesting cloud strategy. Building on their Deltacloud API abstraction layer and their CloudForms IaaS software, a hybrid cloud model is starting to emerge. Add to this their OpenShift PaaS system, and you can see that Red Hat is assembling a lot of key components. Let’s add the fact that Red Hat has gotten very involved with OpenStack, providing an interesting dynamic with CloudForms.

Red Hat Bets the Farm on Hybrid Clouds
Red Hat has talked to enough enterprises – ‘cause that’s where the money is – to know that what they want now is a hybrid cloud. The capex and opex temptations are just irresistible. How to get there is the problem.
To ensure Red Hat get a chunk of this hybrid action it’s proposing to let enterprises manage a hybrid cloud (presumably through its CloudForms management widgetry) so it looks like part of their on-premise Red Hat infrastructure.
Cloud Computing: Dispelling the Remote Revolution Misconceptions
Cloud computing is a few years old, but despite the many benefits and the fact that the term has entered the public consciousness, there are still a lot of people that are in the dark concerning what the cloud actually is and what it can do. It’s not like the Internet, which had a clear definition and immediately visible perks, like online commerce.
