Networking In The Cloud
March 22, 2012 09:30 AM
In discussing network design with my clients, I talk about how routers, firewalls and other network gear can be interconnected to provide a scalable and redundant IP network. These foundations of network design apply to networks composed of tangible components or the virtualized infrastructure that extends corporate data centers to the cloud. I find that the networking aspects of cloud computing are frequently overlooked or addressed as an afterthought.Red Hat Rebrands, Reconfigures Virtual Storage Appliance For Amazon AWS
February 08, 2012 09:00 AM
Less than four months after its acquisition by Red Hat, Gluster, now known as the Red Hat storage unit, is announcing new storage products. The Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced this week, is essentially a rebranding of the Gluster product, or what the company refers to as "baselined." This means that it now uses the Red Hat Linux open-source operating system rather than the CentOS operating system it had used previously, and it has also been retested and re-certified. In addition, it now supports a new file system option, the Extensible File System (XFS).HP Refreshes DDMA Toolset

HP has enhanced its Discovery and Dependency Mapping Advanced (DDMA) product with Content Pack 10, which gives the software the ability to discover more public and private cloud service providers. In particular, this version adds support for Amazon Web Services (AWS) such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Relational Database Service, and Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) Volumes and Snapshots, as well as private cloud services using vCloud. In addition, the company improved mainframe discovery by including iSeries discovery by Eview, along with enhancements to the Eview/390z Mainframe discovery package. Finally, the company has added functionality as well as integration with other infrastructure applications.Amazon EC2 Reaches Out To Windows Developers
January 19, 2012 12:45 PM
Amazon EC2 is upping the ante with Microsoft's competitive cloud platform, Azure, by matching its free offer of up to 750 hours per month, for up to a year, of developer time for Windows Server 2003 R2, 2008 and 2008 R2 editions. As part of its AWS Free Usage Tier, customers can select from a range of pre-configured Amazon Machine Images with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and, once running, connect via Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to build, migrate, test and deploy their Web applications on AWS in minutes.Amazon Dropping WikiLeaks Should Have No Impact On Your Cloud Plans
December 16, 2010 09:00 AM
Amazon kicking WikiLeaks from its Amazon Web Services does not mean in any way, shape or form that you and your company can't trust cloud services. Extreme examples like WikiLeaks are rarely applicable to the rest of the world and only show that extreme cases lead to extreme reactions. What WikiLeaks may show, by way of extreme example, is that end user license agreements (EULAs) and terms of service (ToS) need to be carefully reviewed prior to signing on the dotted line. Organizations can, and do, use cloud services and don't run the risk of being arbitrarily cut off. The slippery-slope argument that Amazon kicked WikiLeaks and they will kick you too is FUD. Don't let extreme corner cases drive your cloud strategy.Amazon Web Services Announces Amazon Cluster GPU Instances
November 15, 2010 10:25 AM
Amazon Web Services LLC, an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced Amazon Cluster GPU Instances, a new instance type designed to deliver the power of GPU processing in the cloud. GPUs are increasingly being used to accelerate the performance of many general purpose computing problems. However, for many organizations, GPU processing has been out of reach due to the unique infrastructural challenges and high cost of the technology. Amazon Cluster GPU Instances remove this barrier by providing developers and businesses immediate access to the highly tuned compute performance of GPUs with no upfront investment or long-term commitment.
