What is “Cloud Management” and what areas does it cover?

Let’s Welcome 2012

The cloud debate vanished. I will rememeber 2011 as the cloud POC year. We all “ran” this proof of concept and most of us agree that cloud computing just makes sense.

While cloud adoption is the first priority for all IT organizations, the service vendors will need to prove infrastructure improvement and strength. 2012 will be the year where cloud issues will be solved. Cloud technologies’ infrastructures will become better and the whole cloud environment will become more robust.

Check the presentation below. It includes some screen-shots of the most famous outages (Amazon AWS, MS 365, Gmail, etc.) and the common performance issues (Twitter, Linkedin). I hope that these will occur less and that past experience will support future evolution.

I wish you a great and happy new year. A year of happiness and success.

The Rabbit and the Mole: the Web Developer and the Data Scientist

Six years ago I led Zarathustra as the company and product manager. We started this new company to help SMB companies to manage their sales, operations and accounting in one system. I was young and handsome but with not a lot of experience in regards to recruiting and employing web software developers.

And again: Is Cloud a Revolution or just an Evolution?

I initiated this discussion in two separate Linkedin groups in different times. The first one was on May this year and the current one is still rolling as we speak. Amazing to see the differences between the winds that blows in each one of the discussions. Reading the comments submitted in the first discussion, you will find that most of the people vote for Evolution. The current discussion seems to have winds of Revolution. This can be because the time that passed and proved everyone that cloud is a revolution, the crowd type, the people roles or it can be just a coincidence. 

In any case the total amount of comments for both discussions reach to almost 80! It is fascinating to hear and learn what people think about cloud computing including its current and future development. If we discuss it in a boarder sense, I personally tend to say that the cloud is revolutionary.

The Cloud is Alive: Integration, Collaboration and Eco-Systems

On a vacation you often find that the best way to enjoy is to try and disconnect from the regular working day routine. Part of my blogging tasks include searching for knowledge resources and publishing news and articles to my followers. I maintain communication with my readers using social communication means such as Twitter and LinkedIn. Setting that in semi-automated state with twaitter (so I can spend my time with my lovely wife and not with my iPad …) brought me to imagine a living, breathing independent cloud creature that “feeds” itself with information.

The Cloud in HP’s Cloud

Last week I was invited to the HP Tech Day in HP’s campus in Houston to learn and hear more about the giant’s cloud offering. I appreciate HP and Ivy very much for the invitation and for a great event where I was able to learn more and see these clouds in real. I had the privilege to meet savvy and professional guys. It is always great to see people that are enthusiastic on their jobs and are proud of their company. Let me share with you HP’s cloud from my point of view.
