Cloud Computing & Political Correctness

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:30:00 EST

Here is my initial thought: are you kidding me ? David's theory is that the adoption of Cloud Computing would be far more "acceptable" (aka politically correct) if we didn't have executives like Unisys's Richard Marcello saying: "We were able to eliminate a whole bunch of actually U.S.-based jobs and kind of replace them with two folks out of India to serve a 1,200-person engineering organization."

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:07:00 EST

HP Neoview Advantage, HP Converged Infrastructure Architecture, and HP Converged Infrastructure Consulting Services are designed to help organizations drive business and technology innovations at lower total cost via lower total hassle. The same old IT song and dance doesn't seem to be what these businesses are seeking. Nearly 85 percent of those surveyed cited innovation as critical to success, and 71 percent said they would sanction more technology investments -- if they could see how those investments met their organization’s time-to-market and business opportunity needs.

Blocks to Profitable Behavior

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:00:00 EDT

I recently added 20 yards of distance to every club in my golf bag with no effort whatsoever (and the chipping now is sublime). For the non-golfers out there, this is quite a significant improvement. I have played the game for about 15 years achieved a reasonable standard and plateaued, content in the knowledge that I know enough to be competitive and to enjoy myself. Over the years I have taken, on average, two lessons per year, read copious amounts in magazines, watched my heroes on the TV, dreamed of faultless rounds, practiced my bad habits at the driving-range and, of course, played once a week.

Gain Your Prospect’s Attention

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:15:00 EDT

By Wendy Weiss On a cold call you have approximately 10-30 seconds to grab your prospects’ attention—and you won’t get a second chance. Read on to discover how to gain your prospects’ attention… I was eating lunch. The phone rang and thinking it might be a client calling (and also, let’s face it—I’m a little compulsive) I bolted to my desk and grabbed the receiver. Instead of my client, on the other end of the line was a perky person telling me that their company provides high-speed Internet [...]

IBM CloudBurst and WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance Compared

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:00:00 EDT

What is a cloud computing platform? Is it simply automated provisioning systems coupled with a resource virtualization, where the workload is policy driven, and resources over committed and any resource contention handled by policy driven resolution? As it turns out technologies that provide provisioning, virtualization and policy enforcement form the building blocks of a true cloud computing platform, but not any one technology is a cloud offering in and of it self. IBM’s CloudBurst family attempts to provide a single cloud solution with an appliance form factor. This paper will discuss, and draw differences between IBM CloudBurst and WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance (WCA). So why an appliance? An appliance is generally considered a computing device with specific function and limited configuration capability. An appliance delivers the hardware and all the requisite software in one package, ready for use with minimal configuration. The appeal of an appliance is in its simplicity and ease of use. Both of the IBM cloud offerings, IBM CloudBurst and WCA embarks upon the notion of simplicity and provide an appliance which is purposeful and self contained. While these two offerings are distinct and have a specific role in enterprise cloud environments, together they aim to fit in any enterprise class cloud environment.

Network-Centric Mobile Field Force Automation

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:15:00 EDT

This article explores the use of geospatial information to provide a network-centric view of the mobile work place and the real-time location of your mobile assets. USAF Colonel John Boyd is credited with the concept of the OODA loop. The OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide and Act) is a concept originally applied to the combat operation processes often at the strategic level. It is now also often applied to understand commercial operations and learning processes. It has become an important concept in both business and military strategy. According to Boyd, decision-making occurs in a recurring cycle of observe-orient-decide-act. An entity (whether an individual or an organization) that can process this cycle quickly, observing and reacting to unfolding events more rapidly than an opponent, can thereby "get inside" the opponent's decision cycle and gain the advantage.

Virtual Desktop Personalization Made Easy

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:15:00 EDT

At the Cloud Computing Conference and Expo, Amy Holder will discuss how you can use straightforward and costs effective solutions to migrate your users’ desktop ‘personalities’ to virtual desktops and easily manage them once there.

Top Cloud Security Risks: Trends, Business Effects, How to Fight Them

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:15:00 EDT

Oftentimes organizations adopt cloud technologies without accounting for how sensitive data will be protected and securely accessed when moved across cloud applications. As this data crosses between service providers, "bad guys" are constantly looking for weak links in the chain to access and exploit the cloud's data stores. In this session Jeremiah Grossman will draw from the latest WhiteHat Security Website Security Statistics Report - information pulled from more than 1,000 real-world websites - to introduce the most prevalent software flaws putting data at risk in the cloud.

EuroCloud and The Case for a Cloud Computing Trade Association

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:00:00 EDT

Some of the concerns I've heard repeatedly is the potential barriers to entry for participation in this type of association. The last thing this association should be is an inclusive club for a few select technology vendors and insiders. It needs to be available to all and should foster an engagement with both the existing community while also providing a formal / legal umbrella that the larger companies will feel comfortable participating in. I am also cognizant that it takes money to make money, so there needs to be a middle ground with potentially some of the larger vendors subsidizing the involvement of the smaller players and independents members. Simply membership should not be cost prohibitive.

Xerox To Buy ACS for $6.4 Billion

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:15:00 EDT

Xerox, which squandered the chance to bring about the PC revolution itself, has needed a growth solution for quite a while. Monday it said it found one and would spend $6.4 billion in cash and stock buying Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), whose $6.5 billion in revenues reportedly make it the largest business process outsourcer (BPO) on the planet. In other words, it manages and automates paper and work processes. It also has its hand in IT services including infrastructure outsourcing, which the Gigaom blog figures makes Xerox a cloud player.

Does Cloud Computing Require Change in Programming Mindset

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:30:00 EDT

Cloud computing is at the very peak of Gartner Hype-Cycle – literally! But, a question which I do not think have received sufficient attention is – to move to cloud, do we need a paradigm shift in programming? Do we need to make a shift like we did when we adopted OO? In my mind there are 2 critical aspects that need to be considered. In RDBMS data can only be represented as two dimensional tables. On the other hand most real world objects are better represented in hierarchical structure. With the advent of OO many people believed that over a period of time OODBMS will become popular – but that was not to be. Instead we saw the emergence O-R mapping tool which managed the impedance mismatch between object view and relational view. All big players (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM …) have jumped into it. Lot has been written about the obvious Pros and Cons and I have listed the main arguments below: The story is about … However, doubts persists … Saving money through economy of scale Cap-ex vs. Op-ex Computing power [...]

The Neglected Flipside of SOA Security

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:00:00 EDT

Joe McKendrick kicks off a thread on the current state of SOA Security. As usual, most discussion of SOA Security applies to "how SOA can be made secure". This is understandable. And, as some commentators have pointed out, there is a body of Best Practice out there on how to secure services in an SOA. For example, Randy Heffner provides lots of good advice on how to secure the services in an SOA)

Success Transformation Strategies

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:30:00 EDT

Over the last couple of years I have been focused on identifying sustainable business models for communication service providers. As part of this analysis I have investigated the return on invested capital (ROIC) as a ratio of weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for a variety of service providers globally. The Exhibit below summarizes the results for several Tier 1 service providers. For the sake of comparison I included companies that are not telecom providers, including Walmart, Procter and Gamble, RIM and Nokia and Visa.

The WACC essentially represents the minimum rate of return that a company must achieve before it creates value for equity and debt holders. In cases where the ratio of ROIC to WACC is less than one, we are essentially seeing capital value erosion. A variety of household names including Verizon, Vodafone, Comcast and Deutshe Telecom fall below the line, ATT is on the line, and players like Orascom and American Movil, Telstra, Telefonica and Orange/FT are in positive territory. Players who are doing well all have significant emerging market assets from which they drive disproportionate capital value creation?

With service providers coming under continuous pressure to offer more for less, capital value creation is a challenge, and generally depends on effective transformation strategies. Although service providers have made efforts to transform, most have failed. In several recent studies I have investigated why we have seen such lackluster performance in these transformation efforts.

To support this analysis, I formulated a scorecard which analyzed the service provider business in terms of six categories, namely their access networks, core networks, organizational structure, IT infrastructure, financial state, and partnership ecosystem. Based on this analysis, I came to the following conclusions:

Service providers tend to have straddled strategies with conflicting objectives. On the one hand they want to embrace the next 2.0 that comes along. On the other hand they are incapable of self-disintermediation needed for the 2.0 initiatives to thrive.
Employees must be incentivized to transform the business. Even with the best intentions and network technology investments, status quo will prevail unless remuneration is tied to transformation initiatives
Transformation strategies are overly focused on the access network evolution. These are long lead investment items, and while they impact transformation initiatives, they do not drive transformation.

Transformation starts with organizational re-engineering that incentivize self disintermediation, followed by strategic IT investments to reduce transaction friction for broader ecosystems. Until service providers take this approach, we believe that many will continue to see capital value erosion.

Boy, Is HP Glad It Bought EDS

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EDT

Business is stabilizing according to HP CEO Mark Hurd, who's expecting a spike as the economy comes back. He's also not ready to "call it a turn." Although PCs, servers, software, printers and storage were all down roughly 20%, the bellwether still beat estimates Tuesday when it reported its fiscal third quarter, which closed on July 31. It made 91 cents, up from 86 cents, on a non-GAAP basis, or 67 cents net, off 19% to $1.64 billion on net revenues down 2% year-over-year and up 4% in constant currency at $27.5 billion. Wall Street figured it would do 90 cents on $27.25 billion according to First Call.

Information Management Paybacks Surge

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 14:40:00 EDT

Potentially massive savings can be had from thwarting legal discovery fulfillment problems in advance by governing and managing information. In a sponsored podcast, I recently examined how the well-managed -- versus the haphazard -- information oversight approach reduces legal risks. Yet these same management lifecycle approaches bring long-term payoffs through better analytics, and regulatory compliance, while reducing the cost of data storage and archiving.

Interfacing Private Clouds with the libvirt Virtualization API

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:15:00 EDT

In my post "Interfaces for Private and Public Cloud Computing", I briefly described the main differences between public and private cloud computing from the perspective of their different application scope and interfaces. My position was that a private cloud interface should provide rich enough semantics, far beyond of that provided by public clouds (such as Amazon EC2 APIs), to ease the integration of the distributed virtual infrastructure in the data-center management stack, including user and administration support. Such interface should provide additional functionality for virtualization, networking, image and physical resource configuration, management, monitoring and accounting, not exposed by pubic cloud interfaces.

How To Run IT Like a Business

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:08:00 EDT

The combination the down economy, tight IT budgets, and the advent of more cloud sourcing and data center architecture options offer two paths to IT leaders: Remain on the alienated edge, or move to center-stage in how businesses adapt to their changing markets.
