Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

CA subsidiary Nimsoft, a provider of application monitoring software, has hopped on the vCloud vTrain, adding support for Vblock infrastructure environments. Available as on-premise software or through Nimsoft On Demand, the new feature will “enable proactive monitoring and rapid root-cause analysis on Vblock Infrastructure Packages” that include a mix of real-world/cloud world components:

  • Chassis, including rack temperature, access and physical security.
  • Compute, including Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) blades and elements.
  • Storage, including EMC’s CLARiiON, Symmetrix, and Celerra.
  • Networking and interconnects, including Cisco routers, SAN switches and Nexus softswitches.

Apple Today vs Apple 2000

Friday, September 24th, 2010
I thought this was a funny example of Apple back in 2000 compared to Apple today.  With all the advances in technology that we have infront of us.  The things we bought yesterday are outdated and are virtually useless.  Alright, you can still play Oregon Trail on this old 2000 Mac but it’s just not the same as WOW or any of the other games out there.  No, I do not play World of Warcraft but I do know the game.   We have so much technology at our fingertips, why aren’t we using it?  Are we still using old technology to power our future.
Cloud hosting is the way of the future and the way that we can all move from the old iMac g4 to the new iPhone4.  We can’t host our sites on servers that are 10 years old.  That’s a lie, we really can and we do but they aren’t near as good as the brand new Dell blade cloud servers that are available to us. Cloud servers are the way of the future, will you be the one stuck on the old 2000 server or the new 2010 blade cloud servers?  I’m gunna go with the cloud servers!
Stats:
1. Google shows us that sites that load faster, get better ranking.
2. When a person visits a website, you  have 10 seconds to grab their attention before they are gone. If your website takes 10 seconds to load you might as well wave goodbye to that person.
3. Pay less, get more
4. Only pay for what you use.

Cloud Computing Best Practices

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Gary Tyreman, CEO, Univa,  Billy Cox, director of Cloud Strategy & Planning, Software Solutions Group, Intel and Scott Clark, CEO, Deopli Corporation will all be speaking at the executive roundtable discussion and reception on September 29 in Atlanta, GA to present insights and best practices for public, private and hybrid cloud solutions.

The fourth in a series of similar events hosted by Univa and Intel, this roundtable is the first of its kind in the southeast. Titled “Cloud Computing: Realities and Recommendations,” the event takes place at the Microsoft Technology Center in Alpharetta, Georgia on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 from 3:00pm — 5:00pm ET, with a cocktail reception to follow.

“These events have been popular because we’re giving the audience a view of cloud computing from the real world,” said Univa’s Gary Tyreman. “At the moment there are plenty of venues where general cloud information is being presented, but precious few where actual implementation details are shared. By discussing lessons learned based on actual customer projects, we’re giving our attendees the information they need to begin building a cloud computing strategy based on their specific needs and requirements.”

“Taking the concept of cloud and applying it to technology is best done by leveraging experience from teams working with IT providers and end users in the field,” said Intel’s Billy Cox. “These sessions apply that experience and provide a recipe for success.”

“We have spent the last 20 years building private clouds for use by individual companies,” said Clark of Deopli Corporation. “As natural evolution takes us into multi-tenant clouds, we need to make sure we carry forward all the lessons from our past that apply, while recognizing that this is a different beast and will have requirements we have not faced before. These roundtables give us an opportunity to share our experiences and hear new requirements, and then take the best of both to build a more appropriate solution for all to use.”

The event is limited to 25 seats. To reserve a seat or learn more, visit http://univaud.com/about/news/cloud-roundtable-4.php.

All attendees will receive an Amazon Kindle™ loaded with cloud resources – including our Cloud Benchmark Report with results quantified from several cloud end users.
