Many organizations have embraced, or are considering, the benefits of cloud computing – speed, flexibility, increased expertise, shared workload, reduced costs, etc. The benefits are many – but so are the risks. What are the threats to Cloud security? Which parties assume responsibility for securing the environment? What about the data? Which type of cloud deployment offers superior security benefits?
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Dr. Nataraj (Raj) Nagaratnam, IBM Distinguished Engineer and CTO for Security Solutions in IBM Security Systems, will examine Cloud Computing from a security and compliance perspective and will help Cloud Expo delegates to understand the three major types of cloud deployment.

Dell’s Testing ARM Servers
Not waiting for Calexda, Dell is developing its own low-power ARM-based microservers.
The dense, cheap widgets aren’t generally available. They aren’t ready for prime time yet.
Instead Dell’s got a seed program happening called Copper that won’t brighten Intel’s mood any since Dell is the second-largest maker of x86 servers behind HP, and HP is also skipping down the ARM path. What’s more, Dell, at least, is ultimately contemplating the enterprise mainstream despite the risk of cannibalization.
It said Tuesday morning that it’s shipped ARM-based clusters to a few “hyperscale” customers for evaluation and it’s putting demonstration clusters at Dell Solution Centers worldwide – as well as at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, the supercomputing center at the University of Texas in Austin – where they can be remotely accessed by ISVs so they can develop the nascent ARM server ecosystem.

Healthcare Cloud Security Needs
During the past few months, we’ve seen more and more healthcare oriented organizations reviewing cloud capabilities, migrating applications, and planning ahead to further migrate additional applications to the cloud. The challenge is not a simple one – on one hand, the cloud approach is very appealing. Its flexibility (and cost) increases accessibility to information and […]

CloudCIO.ca – Cloud CIO Canada
We’re finalizing our membership options for the CCN, including one for ‘Cloud CIO Canada’ – CloudCIO.ca.
Cloud CIO is a global set of best practices we’re building and this will localize them for Canada, and thus provide the ideal kick-starter knowledge base for Canadian CIO`s who want a learning exercise as much as an industry engagement.
It also acts as a showcase of pioneering Canadian CIO`s who are embracing Cloud Computing in a wide variety of different ways. This will share best practices in key areas like contracting and data privacy, and it`s also pivotal towards efforts to boost the Digital Economy.

More Virtuous Examination of the Big Data Construct
We recently wrote about TechAmerica and their activities related to Big Data in the Public Sector. A Big Data Task Force in TechAmerica’s public sector group has kicked off a collaborative activity in a Big Data Task Force.
There has been a new development in domain. The foundation arm of TechAmerica, which is the group focused on studies and assessments and educational outreach, has established a Big Data Commission. This group is closely aligned with the current public sector task force, and will result in more strategic inputs to the federal community. In my opinion this is a very positive development.
