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.F5 Addresses Unstructured Storage Growth

Cloud storage gateways like StorSimple's address the challenges of public cloud storage usage, object APIs and latency. Like some other cloud storage gateways, StorSimple's appliances present the cloud as iSCSI block storage, but its secret sauce is in the application plug-ins.Quest Updates vFoglight; New Features, Better Reporting

November 29, 2010 09:53 AM
An annual survey from Symantec Corp. on disaster recovery shows that trends such as virtualization and the cloud continue to have an impact on organizations' disaster recovery plans. In fact, 84 percent of survey respondents say that virtualization led them to reevaluate their disaster recovery plans in 2010, compared with 64 percent in 2009. Technologies such as virtualization and the cloud make disaster recovery more complex. Respondents cited several factors, most notably a lack of tools or having to use multiple tools, as challenges they had encountered while protecting mission-critical applications in virtual and physical environments.Information Governance In The Clouds

In the rush to adopt public and hybrid cloud computing services organizations appear to be ignoring the emerging risks to information governance - policy compliance and enforcement - according to a new report from EMC's Leadership Council for Information Advantage, a blue-chip panel of IT execs. Using IDC data, EMC says 75 percent of IT organizations are running or plan to deploy applications in a private cloud environment, but only 34 percent have a governance policy for cloud-based information. Over half -- 57 percent -- believe their organizations need to do more, and almost a third report they are not confident in their preparedness.Dell Signs New Partner Deals To Advance Cloud Computing
