Part 2 | Understand the Impact of IT on Business
Part 2 of a two part blog series looking at the journey enterprise IT departments take as they increasingly seek to understand the relationships and impact of IT infrastructure performance on application performance and business services.
Through observation, Fred notices that even though his alarms, based on dynamic baselines, catch problems in his environment, they’re also catching busy days, quiet days, and even slightly odd days. He starts to realize that just looking at the level of metrics is necessary, but not sufficient. Fred also needs to look at how the metrics work together – he needs statistical correlation.

Five Years of Cloud Musings!!
Hello World ! – April 18, 2008
I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a blog for about six months now.
Initially I didn’t see how any of my contributions to the blogosphere
would matter to the world. The importance of this view, however, waned
as I became more and more absorbed by the power of Web 2.0. As my
participation in these technologies (Facebook, LinkedIn, RSS, wikis,
etc.) increased, I began to understand the uniqueness of my personal
interactions. This made the idea of doing a blog important on a personal
level. As my on-line network grew, I then realized that a blog is not
really for the rest world. It is really a most effective means for
conversing with you own personal, on-line network. So today, I start my
blog and in so doing, I start my public conversation in earnest.”
That was my very first post five years ago last month. Thank you all for allowing me to share my thoughts with you. The benefit I have gain from this and other online interactions have been immense! I only hope that you have also found my musings worthwhile.

“Why Cloud?” vs “What’s Next For Cloud?”
We all talk about cloud differently, but is there a way we should be speaking about this tech?
Cloud computing is now a widely reported, if not accepted, IT movement that, depending on who you talk to, has changed or is changing the way businesses utilize infrastructure.

Did the ‘Neophiliacs’ Build the Cloud Service Model?
There’s an inherent sense of almost forced innovation that appears to pervade the information technology industry. As we constantly push forward into perpetual cycles of reinvention, continual enhancement and augmentation after augmentation, one almost has to stop and ask what’s wrong with the software and systems that we have at our disposal today?
If a ‘neophiliac’ (don’t worry, it’s not rude) can be described as a person with a personality type characterized by a strong affinity for new things and an ability to adapt well to extreme change, then perhaps it is the neophiliacs who built the new style of IT model that we appear to be hurtling towards today.
Cloud Expo New York: Enabling the Cloud for Big Data
With the right tools, file storage today can be in the cloud or on-premise, with seamless and secure access and publishing regardless of location. Novel, high-speed transport technologies that alleviate the bottlenecks and limitations of traditional data movement protocols are now intrinsically enabled for cloud object storage, such as Amazon Web Services S3 and Microsoft Windows Azure. Companies of all types and sizes can use the latest technology to ingest and distribute large media files to and from Windows Azure BLOB storage, for example, and integrate the platform into media services running on the Azure cloud.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Jason Warman, Director of Sales Engineering at Aspera, Inc., will explore how infrastructure-agnostic transport technologies are transforming the ways all kinds of organizations access and use Big Data for ever-greater efficiencies and innovation.
Cloud Expo New York | Storage & Archive: Are Existing Offerings Relevant?
Storage and Archive offerings are now exploding on the market. From end-user mobile devices to company tactical level, the cloud has become a black hole for every kind of data. But what are the risks, and what are the real needs?
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Alexandre Morel, Cloud Product Manager & Evangelist at OVH.com, will answer questions such as:
How to develop a strategy to use those offers as a base to develop mid and long-term value?
Should companies trust the cloud (Dedicated or Public) or rely on some other solutions?
How to select the right solution for the right internal need?
Which best of breed approaches can be used?
