Cirtas Expands Amazon S3 Support To Cut Cloud Data Storage Costs
December 22, 2010 08:00 AM
Cirtas Systems has enhanced its Bluejet Cloud Storage Controller cloud storage offering by adding support for Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) option, which lets users lower their cloud storage charges in return for reducing the protection Amazon gives to their data. In addition, Cirtas has increased the number of cloud systems that organizations can use by adding support for EMC's Atmos and for the AT&T Synaptic Storage as a Service platform. Previously, the storage appliance supported only Amazon and Iron Mountain cloud storage utility providers.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.

May 19, 2010 09:14 AM
Amazon Web Services LLC, an Amazon.com company, today announced Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS), a new storage option within the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) that enables customers to reduce their costs by storing non-critical, reproducible data at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3's standard storage. It provides a cost-effective solution for distributing or sharing content that is durably stored elsewhere. The RRS option stores objects on multiple devices across multiple facilities, providing 400 times the durability of a typical disk drive, but does not replicate objects as many times as standard Amazon S3 storage does, and thus is even more cost effective. Both storage options are designed to be highly available, and both are backed by Amazon S3's Service Level Agreement.Microsoft Details Azure Cloud Development

A group of data center operators and technology providers is asking the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to reconsider recommendations for cooling data centers that could become part of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 as an addendum. Standard 90.1 is a building efficiency standard that is often incorporated into building codes across the country.CIOs Discuss SaaS Challenges And Rewards
April 08, 2010 01:46 PM
Software as a Service (SaaS) has many benefits for enterprises, including lower capital costs vs. deploying enterprise software, faster feature upgrades, and fewer operational burdens. But SaaS is not free of problems or risks, as a panel of SaaS-savvy CIOs can testify. Integration of on-premises software and SaaS applications, integration with partners, responsibility for security, managing multiple SaaS vendors and evolving SaaS standards are just some of the challenges raised by CIOs speaking at SaaScon 2010, a two-day conference held this week in Santa Clara, California.Stratascale's New Public And Private Cloud
March 17, 2010 11:00 AM
Stratascale brings two new Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings, aptly named Public Cloud and Private Cloud, to their existing managed hosting service, rebranded from Ironscale to Automated Managed Hosting (AMH). The offerings are distinct in how the servers are provisioned. The public cloud servers are fully virtualized machines that share server resources with other hosts similar to other IaaS offerings. Private cloud is a dedicated server running a hypervisor and AMH is a dedicated server that you can install any operating system on. All three services, which will be available April 1st, can be combined into a hybrid cloud where applications can communicate over a private network we well as to the Internet.Double-Take Takes Disaster Recovery To The Cloud
February 26, 2010 03:04 PM
I've spent a lot of time developing disaster recovery plans for mid-size companies with 200-2000 users and 10-100 servers. These companies don't have the multiple data centers and dark fibre that the big boys use to enable array-to-array replication. They make do with servers at a co-lo site and use host or application replication. Double-Take Cloud has extended host-based replication and application recovery to Amazon's public cloud.« Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | Next Page »
