Cloud Storage: See You Next Year
December 29, 2011 07:53 AM
If cloud storage was one of the few bright spots in IT in 2011, the trend is likely to continue through 2012, for many of the same reasons, analysts and vendors say. Predictions for 2012 in the area of cloud storage include continuing support by small and midsize businesses; improved linkages among public cloud services, private cloud services and local storage; reduced costs due to increased competition; and revenue projections of more than $1 billion for Amazon Web Services alone.Year In Review: Cloud Storage's Silver Lining
December 27, 2011 12:00 PM
While many technologies blamed the laggard economy of 2011 for their failures, cloud storage was one of the few that could point to it for its success. Numerous information technology organizations, facing data growth due to factors such as the requirement to keep data for electronic discovery purposes, found themselves with growing storage requirements yet smaller budgets. But cloud storage systems and services helped users deal with the uncertain economics of 2011 by letting them fund that growth using operational expenditure funding, rather than having to make capital expenditures in the hardware, software and people required to run one's own data center.VKernel Enhances VM Management Automation In vOperations Suite

Virtualization was second only to cloud computing as a priority for 2,014 CIOs representing over $160 billion in corporate and public sector IT spending across 50 countries and 38 industries in Gartner's 2011 CIO Agenda survey, released in January. While IT budgets were expected to be flat for the year, these technologies were selected as the top two technologies for 2011 and are well-suited for this budget reality, as they offer similar service levels at lower budget costs, stated Gartner.Don't Let Broadband Scrooges Ruin the Gift Of Cloud Backup
December 19, 2011 01:04 PM
It's the time of year for giving gifts. If you're the go-to techie in your family (like me), my shopping advice is this: Give some cloud this holiday season--specifically, cloud backup. It's good for you and good for the recipient. But there are challenges, largely because of the FCC's spectacularly unambitious broadband plan.Embrane Launches Cloud-Based Network Services

December 07, 2011 04:53 PM
While there are important differences between a public cloud and a private cloud computing environment, industry leaders say the pros and cons of each aren't as significant as the fact that both options are available for businesses and enterprises. At the recent CloudBeat 2011 conference in Redwood City, Calif., executives of various companies delivering cloud technology and services said any combination of public, private or hybrid clouds may be the right solution for any company based on its needs.Cisco Storms Into The Cloud Market
December 07, 2011 11:30 AM
CloudVerse, a framework that combines unified data center, cloud intelligent networks and cloud applications, is Cisco's cloud coming-out party, say company officials. Code-named Hurricane, CloudVerse is one of the company's top five priorities. Cisco sees hundreds if not thousands of cloud providers--what it calls "the world of many clouds"--and it wants to ensure it gets more than its fair share of the cloud infrastructure market.Hybrid Cloud's Burst Bubble
December 07, 2011 08:43 AM
One of the more hyped use-case examples for hybrid cloud is cloud bursting. And why not? It's truly the have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too scenario. During normal business operations, your systems run in-house on private cloud infrastructure, and during unforeseen or unpredictable peaks, your services burst to excess capacity at your public cloud provider(s) of choice. It's IT utopia, right? It’s the comfort of maintaining your own systems with the insurance of endless available capacity for the unknown.« Previous Page | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | Next Page »
