“We are taking all the storage that people usually had in the enterprise and we’re moving it over to look a lot more like what Google, Amazon, and Facebook do, much more like a cloud model,” explained Kevin Brown, CEO of Coraid, in this SYS-CON.tv interview with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan at the 11th International Cloud Expo, held November 5-8, 2012, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Cloud Computing: Intel Fields Atom for Microservers
Intel is going to try going after the data center with a brand new Atom System-on-a-Chip (SoC) that can be built into relatively cheap, high-density microservers for cloud providers.
It really rather not – it really wants to sell its high-end chips – but it has no choice. It has forecast that microservers could get to be 10% of the server market by 2015 and it will have to fight for a piece of it after losing a head start earlier this year when AMD plopped down $334 million in cash and stock for SeaMicro, a microserver start-up that already had Intel designed in.
But, given the tone in its voice this week, Intel is apparently serious about the sector, which it’s blown off before for defensive purposes.
Intel says the new 22nm dingus, code-named Centerton and seemingly in development since 2007, is the first low-power 64-bit dual-core SoC for these data center systems that’s in production and shipping to customers.
HP and the Future of Cloud
Hewlett Packard: A Tale of Many Clouds
Hewlett Packard used its Discover event in Frankfurt last week to reassert the company’s cloud credentials. Public, private, hybrid; HP is painting pictures that encompass them all, whilst seeking to protect hardware revenues and reassure conservative executives at some of its largest and most profitable customers. But HP has been here before, making bold claims and telling people what they wanted to hear about an HP cloud upon which enterprises could depend. This time, will the company deliver? Earlier this year, satirical news site The Onion took a cruel but funny swipe at HP’s cloud pretensions. HP, the sketch suggested, had the answers, the technology, and a lot of cloud. The company has done — and continues to do — a lot right in this space, but it really did bring this derision upon itself. Mixed messaging, repeated announcements of amazing new cloud services that never quite saw the light of day, an endless stream of apparent strategy U-turns that must surely have left long-time HP executives as dizzy as those trying to understand their intentions? None of this helped HP. But now, Windows Azure is apparently behind us. PalmOS (or whatever it’s called these days) is no longer a glue to […]
It’s money that matters in the cloud…well, at least ROI
With all the talk of fiscal cliffs, financial binds and “next year’s budget,” I started thinking about cloud security in more tangible ways. Specifically returns on investment, economic impact and total costs of ownership.
Just like death and taxes, businesses can add intrusion and attack to the list of sureties. I can hear CFOs all over the world sigh in exasperation as they feel pressured to add another expense line item to minimise the building security threats to their enterprises.
Before you add another decimal place to security budgets, maybe it’s time you consider the how cloud-deployed security options can not only address the complexities of enterprise security ably, but do so at considerable savings.
Study after study promotes that a cloud computing model saves a organisation money. We know that more and more functionality is moving to the cloud. For things like CRM or other standard business …
Dell Declares OpenStack its Primary Cloud Platform
Dell just released a technical preview of its private cloud widgetry, Dell
Cloud Dedicated with OpenStack, and while it was at said OpenStack is
going to be its primary cloud platform, used for both public and private
clouds.
The company intends to continue to offer overall solutions for any type of
cloud that customers want to run, but it “believes the open and compatible
nature of OpenStack allows customers to take advantage of hybrid
capabilities to move workloads between private and public clouds.”

Cloud Computing: EMC Bows to Demand, Joins OpenStack Contingent
They’re dropping like flies to OpenStack’s siren song.
The open source cloud platform’s latest conquest is EMC, whose VMware subsidiary already did a seemingly unthinkable thing a few months ago and joined the rival band as a gold member.
EMC is only joining as a corporate-level sponsor.
To explain why EMC, a born street fighter, would tie up at all with a movement pledged to destroy VMware, the company wheeled out its global marketing CTO Chuck Hollis who blogged that OpenStack is catching on like Linux did and even though it may still be immature customers are asking about it.
