“in a recession bound economy, the economics of cloud computing start to make a LOT of sense at all levels of the computing food chain. If you are advising clients on technology strategies, ensure you have a good understanding of the issues and which pain points can be readily addressed. There is money to be saved now and clients will welcome anyone coming through the door with that as a credible storyline.”

New survey links cloud computing to virtualization

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:08:49 -0400

New survey links cloud computing to virtualization:

“Respondents moving to cloud computing already are likely to be well-versed in virtualization. For example, there’s a prevalence of storage virtualization (77% for cloud adopters; 45% overall) and network virtualization (56% in cloud adopters versus 27% overall) technologies in organizations that are also adopting cloud computing. A majority of cloud adopters, 51%, also are already engaged in application virtualization — versus 16% of the entire survey group.”

“It’s my thinking that it is, in large part, quite reasonable to take Cloud Computing and it’s related technologies seriously. Their ability to help harness the true value of technical capital thereby leading to a more technically agile business lends itself to real analysis and eventual, and I think relatively rapid, implementation in many use cases.”

Take ‘Your Computer on the Go’ with iCloud

Take ‘Your Computer on the Go’ with iCloud:

“iCloud is a windows desktop application that has same look and feel as other windows desktop applications with the major difference of running online in the cloud. It is designed keeping in mind the growing population of computer users that want to access their computers with web browsers or PDAs. They can easily do so as long as they are connected to the internet.” by Aditya.

Interview with Xcerion CEO, Daniel Arthursson, to the Brazilian website Baguete.

Arthursson talks about icloud, Cloud Computing and expectations about it for 2009:

“Daniel Arthursson: Recentemente fomos premiados pela Frost & Sullivan na categoria Product Innovation in Cloud Computing. Nosso trabalho com XML Virtual Machine é único. Pelo que sabemos, o iCloud é o único serviço de cloud computing que executa todas as aplicações localmente e não no data center. Este é utilizado principalmente para armazenamento e sincronia de dados entre usuários, para facilitar a colaboração em tempo real.” - the whole interview is in Portuguese, but click here for the translated version.

““In cloud computing, ‘the data center is the computer.’ We see a future where there are a bunch of clouds, both public and private clouds, and companies will be able to build scalable apps that are self-provisioning. These apps will be able to scale up automatically where requesting resources will be done in a self-service fashion.””

icloud on Firefox: when?

This has been a regular question from all Firefox users in order to give icloud a try.
In a private talk by email with a Corporate Development at Xcerion AB, he reveals what should be expected about icloud x Firefox:

Next release - February 28th:
“icloud will support basic apps on Firefox, such as: Desktop, Document Explorer, Document Selector, Console, System Manager, Share Wizard, Control Panel, etc.”

Within 3-6 months from now:
Support for applications such as Email, Photos, Calendar and others are to be expected, having an icloud usable version available.

Xcerion Team has been working very hard to improve icloud and make it as available as possible.
