Big Cloud Savings, Even Bigger Promises

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Appirio, a newer cloud hosting startup promises to save companies $1 million on IT, or it will make up the difference.

“We’re putting our money where our mouth is,” Nichols said in announcing the initiative April 22. “We think this guarantee will encourage companies to take their cloud adoption to the next level. Running your business 100% in the cloud is different than piecemeal adoption.” To be eligible, as company must currently be spending at least $5 million a year on IT, move its whole infrastructure from on-premises to in the cloud, and have more than 500 employees.

Appirio itself is a 200-employee company in Mountain View, Calif. “Our experience operating as a serverless enterprise gives us confidence that a million dollars in savings is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Nichols. Customers include the City of Los Angeles, IMS Health, Motorola, Qualcomm, Rehab Care, Diversey, Avago and the Japan Post Network.

William Toll thoughts on CLOUD EXPO 2010

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Cloud Expo 2010 was held at the Javits convention center in NYC earlier this week.  The event was attended with vendors and enterprise corporate IT teams coming from around the world to talk about cloud servers, cloud computing, and cloud hosting.

Toll stated” I had great conversations with many corporate IT personnel that were either just starting their cloud research or just wrapping it up and writing recommendations for their path forward.  It struck me that there seems to be several categories that predict an enterprises current propensity to move to the cloud.”

He talks all about the rapidly maturing and solidifying cloud space and how it’s going to affect all of us.  Cloud servers will make it cheaper for enterprise businesses to go out and get cheaper cloud hosting.  This cheap enterprise cloud hosting will help save the earth and save large enterprise business host their websites and not spend as much.

“While the big public clouds – ie. clouds that anyone with a credit card can signup for, have done a wonderful job at demonstrating the power, flexibility and appropriateness of the cloud – these public clouds are not seen as a good home or final resting place for enterprise IT applications” stated Toll about IT cloud infestructure.  Later stating “Corporate IT understands the complexity of the cloud service provider’s infrastructure – and is looking for a cloud provider that can guarantee a level of security, reliability and customization that a full managed cloud services environment can provide.  A single VM or cloud server is not what corporate IT is looking for.”
