Enterprise are starting to adopt cloud computing. The ones that have web centric business models like media companies are either already doing it or are moving towards it rapidly. Financial services companies are moving slower, as compliance/API security issues have to be carefully looked at.
Michael Healey recently wrote “8 questions to ask before going live [...]
Opening up APIs does not mean signing up for creating a developer community or a platform. Many folks are talking about “turning an application into a platform” strategy. How many platforms we do know. It is one thing to access an API and check out the docs on the Web and another thing to become [...]
EMC’s RSA Security division released a two studies. Few comments:
- 50% of all folks interviewed (enterprises with more than $1B in revenue) are doing cloud computing
- 66% of those do not have a security strategy
- RSA has put together a “Security for Business Innovation” council comprised of 10 security executives chosen by RSA.
Kudos to RSA [...]
Jonathan Mendez wrote an AWESOME blog post on API Battle Plans: Fighting for Next. Liked the concept of CUDA – content, utility, data and analytics.
At Sonoa we completely agree with Jonathan’s assessment. As with all inflections points, we will only know after we have passed it, but it certainly fees like we have either reached [...]
Much debate on SOA vs. Cloud computing. Not sure it is worth having.
SOA is an approach. Much like OOP (object oriented programming). Make building and maintaining IT systems more efficient.
Cloud Computing is about enabling technology. Much like Client/Server or Web Computing, the drivers are costs and time to market/revenue.
ALL customers that we talk to get [...]
Dion Hinchcliffe wrote recently on the ways in which cloud computing will change business. Though he recognizes the challenges to adoption in terms of trust around security and vendor lock-in, there’s clear potential in the enterprise – driving new revenue streams, outsourcing IT services, and the reconciliation of traditional SOA with the cloud and other [...]
TechRepublic wrote a piece on the changing role of the CIO in today’s economic and cloud computing landscape. There’s no question that the role of the CIO changes when a company moves to the cloud, I’d hardly say the role has become undeserving of the C-level. Patrick Gray writes that IT will likely split into [...]
Early last month I took part in a cloud panel at the SIIA NetGain Conference in San Francisco. I posted my thoughts here right after, and the video is now up on the NetGain site. Some interesting presentations from a couple of other information cloud companies… the video also gives some background on how Sonoa’s [...]
Read a recent article on Vishal’s talk at Interop – made interesting points that we agree on:
- Enterprise customers will claim that they have been doing private cloud computing. Have noticed that in our discussion w/ customers also. Even though this does fit w/ the virtualization part of the definition of privates clouds, it is [...]
Much discussion on blogshere on the public vs. private cloud debate. Good to see the discussion, but as Peter Galvin says – “opinions are inside the bldg, facts are outside.” So as always lets discuss this from a customer point of view.
Let me start by saying every customer that I have talked to in the [...]
