Cloud #fail

Monday, February 28th, 2011

By now you should have heard the problems people have been having with their Gmail accounts. 1000’s of E-mails have been deleted, accounts have been disabled, and while Google has been hard at work trying to make everything right.  This is one of those things that makes people like you and me weary of the cloud.  Is moving to the cloud the best idea?

The Google says that the glitch, which first popped up at the weekend, has only affected a small percentage of the Gmail userbase. Initial estimates hovered around less than 0.29 percent of all Gmail users, but that number has since been revised down to less than 0.08 percent of all Gmail users. It’s fair to say that calling the glitch “widespread” probably wouldn’t be entirely accurate.

Don’t move to the cloud unless you are ready for it!

Verizon has taken their first big steps and revealed their big plans in the  cloud hosting space.  It’s going after them very fast because it acquired Terremark for $1.4 billion, though that deal has yet to close.

In an interview with Data Center Dynamics, Verizon regional VP of Enterprise, Cloud and IT Services for Europe, David Howorth, said the company is already laying out plans to capitalize on the scale – in data center space and networking – that the acquisition will bring to the company.

Verizon’s cloud computing capabilities applied to Terremark’s data center infrastructure, he says, will enable the company to introduce a full set of cloud computing services.

“We will now be able to couple our computing infrastructure with the cloud colocation space to deliver a full solution for the client,” Holworth told Data Center Dynamics.

Oracle 11g Database in the Cloud

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

Amazon Web Services said earlier today that its plans to add the Oracle 11g database to its cloud hosting services this year. This will enable users “to perform relational tasks and development work on an on-demand hourly basis.”

Unveiled on Amazon Relational Database Services running Oracle Database web page to educate potential users about the service. The website also enables those interested to sign up to be notified when the service goes live.

“Customers were really excited when we launched Amazon RDS for MySQL because it allowed them to run familiar MySQL databases while offloading the operational responsibilities and capital costs associated with physical servers and datacentres,” Raju Gulabani, vice president of database services at AWS said in a statement.

“Enterprises asked when we will offer the same functionality for Oracle databases. We are pleased to share that we are not only releasing it soon, but are ready to have conversations with interested customers so they can plan for future deployments.”

We’ll see what the new Oracle 11g cloud hosting solution does for the average person, but I believe that it’ll help a lot of people out!
