As public
cloud computing gains greater adoption across enterprises, there’s an increased
level of spending occurring on infrastructure-related services including
Infrastructure-as-a-Service(IaaS).
Enterprises are prioritizing how to get cloud platforms integrated with
legacy systems to make use of the years of data they have accumulated. From legacy Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, integrating legacy
systems of record to cloud-based platforms will accelerate through 2016. I’ve seen this in conversations with
resellers and enterprise customers, and this trend is also reflected in
Gartner’s latest report on public cloud computing adoption.
Microsoft
Azure's cloud outperformed Amazon Web Services in a series of rigorous tests
conducted by Nasuni, a storage vendor that annually benchmarks CSPs (cloud
service providers). Nasuni uses public cloud resources in its enterprise
storage offering, so each year the company conducts a series of rigorous tests
on the top CSPs' clouds in an effort to see which companies offer the best
performing, most reliable infrastructure. Last year, Amazon Web Services' cloud
came out on top, but this year Microsoft Azure outperformed AWS in performance
and reliability measures. AWS is still better at handling extra-large storage
volumes, while Nasuni found that the two OpenStack powered clouds it tested --
from HP and Rackspace -- were lacking, particularly at larger scales.
Cloud
computing isn’t just potentially delivering savings and flexibility for
existing organizations. It is also laying the groundwork for a new generation
of business startups, a new survey finds. The study of 1,300 U.S. and U.K.
executives, conducted by Rackspace Hosting with support from Manchester
Business School in the U.K., finds cloud engagements are delivering positive
impacts, from cost savings to more innovation. Interestingly, the survey also
reveals that most of these executives see cloud as laying the groundwork for the
next entrepreneurial boom. We hope these short sum-ups on Cloud Computing are helping
you to take a knowledgeable approach towards moving to the cloud. Stay tuned
for more sum-ups on in the forthcoming week.
With
cloud computing taking off at a very fast pace — some administrators are scrambling
to jump into the technology. Unfortunately, many organizations are purchasing
the right gear, deploying the right technologies, but still forgetting the
policy creation process. The truth is that cloud computing is relatively new
for many organizations. This means that companies looking to enter the cloud
must be careful and avoid jumping in with both feet. Although every environment
is unique, administrators must take the time to create a plan which will help
them retain control over their cloud initiative.
The
collective sigh heard around the world when they read this section may signal
that this joke has run its course, but you must have forgotten already, this
article is about what your parent’s think. In addition, the day your dad stops
telling the same bad joke over and over again is the day he is no longer a
father. So let me explain an inconvenient truth (see what I did there?) about
this misconception. Sure the joke, “Al Gore invented the internet,” is a little
old but your parents had seven years to work on this environmental Cloud twist
to the joke to shock it back to life. Now our parents will confuse their joke
with reality and we have to hear them complain about Al Gore for a few more
years. Just let the man be!
Don’t
forget to add your comments and suggestions. I will have more around the cloud
a week later.
