We at Newvem have worked hard to provide a better cloud experience with Newvem’s cost and usage analytics for Amazon Web Services (AWS) users over the past three years. Since the beginning we have relentlessly pushed the edge in innovation and cloud adoption for both beginners and experienced professionals, helping our users aligning their cloud operations with their business.
“This is a great moment for us as a team. We started more than three years ago with a pioneer idea in a small coffee shop in Tel Aviv, at a time when cloud usage was just in its infancy,” says Ilan Naslavsky, co-founder and CTO. “It’s amazing to think of the progress we’ve made, not only as a company, but in impacting the way that DevOps adopt the cloud and consume utility computing for a variety of needs within their organizations”.
Your Newvem account will continue unchanged for the time being. This includes access to Newvem Cloud Care features for free as well as advanced capabilities for paying customers. Newvem’s service and product will now be supported by one of the leading cloud companies in the world and we have new great features coming your way soon.
Healthcare “Meaningful Use” Regulation Changes and Cloud Computing
According to Erin McCann, Associate Editor of Healthcare IT News, “Meaningful use will bring about the most significant improvements in the health information technology arena, say health IT executives, who are working tirelessly to meet industry deadlines. However, a new survey finds it’s still a trying task, with officials citing regulation ambiguity and competing IT projects as the biggest barriers to moving forward with MU.”
This was from a survey conducted by the Stoltenberg Consulting firm. The results include insights from HIT management, physicians, clinicians, government agencies and HIT vendors who attended the 2013 HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition in New Orleans.

Are hidden costs dampening cloud computing benefits?
Cloud adoption is not a straight line proposition. It is increasingly the main push for many organizations looking to upgrade their IT strategy. A major reason for the shift includes the cloud’s obvious benefits; another reasoning stems from the fact that older IT models simply cannot deliver the speed and agility necessary to compete in today’s marketplace.
However, just because cloud is new and popular doesn’t mean it doesn’t require as much or more work than existing systems. With an emphasis on management or even relying on an outsourcing partner, many IT organizations can successfully implement cloud for their organization.
Yet, all businesses could run the risk of falling short of maximizing efficiencies within the cloud and running upadded costs that weren’t estimated for at the outset of a project.
So what are some hidden costs you need to know to look out for to …
Automated VM Load Balancing for Multi-Vendor Private Clouds
VMware vSphere 5.x includes automated server workload balancing in the vSphere Enterprise and Enterprise+ premium suites via two feature sets: Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM). DRS and DPM together are intended to provide an automated method for balancing compute capacity and reducing energy consumption in a highly virtualized datacenter.
These capabilities are important to ensure that an organization is efficiently leveraging virtualization host capacity in a manner that provides greatest performance benefits while reducing ongoing operating costs. However, research has shown that 65% to 70% of organizations are running more than one hypervisor. As a result, it’s necessary to provide these capabilities universally on every hypervisor platform in use – not on just the most expensive editions of a single hypervisor.

In this article, we’ll briefly describe each of these key technical areas and contrast with how these same capabilities are delivered in Windows Server 2012, our FREE Hyper-V Server 2012 enterprise-grade bare-metal hypervisor, and System Center 2012 SP1 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) across multiple hypervisors in a heterogeneous Private Cloud …
Cloud Expo: Big Data Analytics Using Hybrid Cloud Implementations
Getting the most out of Big Data means unprecedented amounts of processing power and storage, a wide variety of tools and technologies, and plenty of sandbox space for data scientists to play in. Choosing whether to execute on a Big Data strategy in the cloud or on-premise is not cut-and-dry. For many companies, a thoughtful analysis often leads to a hybrid strategy.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Paul Zolfaghari, President of MicroStrategy, will discuss how «hybrid BI» began as a strategy for complete transition into the cloud and has become a viable long-term strategy to reduce risk and deliver Big Data analytics effectively, efficiently and economically.

Is Hosted Private Cloud the Future of Cloud Infrastructure?
Every business is different, and their infrastructure is sure to follow suit. However, just as there are standards within best practices for cloud, so too are there consistencies where cloud platforms are concerned.
When we say cloud platforms, however, we don’t mean open or closed clouds, like Rackspace versus AWS. Instead we are referring to public, private and hybrid clouds.
A recent Business Technology Roundtable blog post delved into an IDC study, finding that companies are increasingly leveraging hosted private clouds. IDC points to the hosted private cloud as the new backbone to the infrastructure services, “…transforming existing provider models for IT outsourcing, hosting infrastructure services, and other key IT industries.”
