The need for storage to work with existing enterprise applications in public and private clouds, along with hybrid cloud environments, has been a gating factor for adoption.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Anand Babu Periasamy, Co-Founder and CTO at Gluster, will discuss best practices for developing scale-out storage that works in all cloud environments, touching on subjects such as how to determine the right cloud deployment mode, as well as how to pick a service provider that meets each organization’s specific needs. He will also discuss how leveraging an open source approach can allow enterprises to deploy exactly what they need to roll out new services and increase company margins.
A few weeks ago, Gartner shared its list of top 10 technology trends for 2014, including among its expectations one entitled: “Hybrid cloud and IT as Service Broker.” This prediction speaks to what Gartner views as the necessity of the hybrid cloud – a mix of private cloud combined with external public cloud services – along with the role of IT evolving to include that of Cloud Service Broker.
The notion of IT serving as Cloud Service Broker means IT going beyond its traditional services to making strategic decisions on cloud adoption, particularly as cloud-bursting (outgrowing private cloud) becomes necessary for more enterprises. IT departments will be leading the customization and integration of their enterprise’s cloud expansion, regardless of where a cloud application resides.
IBM Federal General Manager Anne Altman pens an op-ed on how governments looking to adopt new communication technologies for public service should make sure they are buying products that are modular.
Governments looking to adopt new communication technologies for public service should make sure they are buying products that are modular, scalable and widely compatible, IBM Federal General Manager Anne Altman writes for Federal Times.
Altman cautioned agencies against purchasing “dead end” software that could potentially end collaboration between federal agencies instead of encouraging it.
She noted that early adoption into cloud environments may be forcing some enterprises into using “proprietary, closed and often more expensive methods of computing.”
Having open standards is one way forward, according to Altman.

As infrastructure has grown and mainstream database vendors have tweaked the cloud service model to apply to their own niche, cloud database technology has become an increasingly possible alternative to on-premises databases. Cloud database services offer many of the same benefits of other cloud services: Reduced in-house maintenance and patching, increased free time for IT staff and database administrators, and outsourced 24/7 data management and recovery.
Cloud databases operate similarly to other cloud offerings. The host owns the servers and databases, and rents databases to enterprises, which can purchase as much or as little space as they need. The underlying maintenance, upgrading and security monitoring are performed by the host, freeing up in-house personnel from time-intensive maintenance.
Cloud computing’s profile just took a leap in the polls.
IBM announced the opening of a new Federal Cloud Innovation Center dedicated to helping federal agencies and other public-sector organizations advance the adoption of cloud computing across the government.
The new IBM Federal Cloud Innovation Center in Washington, D.C., will bring IBM’s cloud computing research efforts closer to federal agencies to develop specialized technologies and methods for building mission-ready clouds, Big Blue officials said. Moreover, the IBM center will draw on the cloud computing expertise of more than 500 IBM professionals aligned to the center along with IBM’s global network of more than 37,000 cloud industry experts, according to an article on eWEEK.com.
This getting-started session is for any developer (beginner or intermediate) who wants to build and run a web app on OpenStack.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Dave Nielsen, Co-Founder of CloudCamp & Founder & Principal Consultant at Platform D LLC, will demonstrate how to use Compute, Block Storage and Object Storage (also known as Nova, Swift & Cinder). He will briefly review the basic OpenStack architecture and walk through the steps to deploy a LAMP Stack-based web application on HP’s OpenStack-based Public Cloud.
