I came back Friday AM fresh from the FIRE conference Meeting of the Minds
planning session in Seattle with a head filled with ideas about where the IT
industry is headed and what it will mean for the networking industry.
Thanks to an animated and robust dinner discussion, which included Mark
Anderson, Ty Carlson and Michael Pfeffer, I came to the conclusion that three
forces will be combining in the near future to drive a revolution in the
network industry.
Before I get to the three forces let me digress a bit and talk about the
simmering preconditions for takeoff. For Infrastructure 2.0 blog and
Archimedius readers, these themes aren't new; yet they need to be rolled up
to put the "Horsemen" in proper context.
Preconditions for the Revolution

I'm happy to be able to disclose today that the Federal Government of the
United States released its cloud computing RFI earlier this afternoon.
Enomaly was fortunate to have been included in recent consultations with the
government, and we've been impressed by the vision of this administration and
the speed with which they've taken action.
What makes this RFI especially exciting is that for the first time things are
really starting to move very quickly toward the creation of a federal cloud
capability including an actual budget which has been included in the 2010
federal budget recommendation released earlier this week by the White House.
In reviewing the Federal Cloud RFI it seems that a federal "elastic computing
cloud" may soon be a reality.
To give you some background, the RFI is provided by the GSA Office of the
Chief Information Officer (OCIO), in concert with ... (more)
Like any new business technology, the early development of cloud services can
be a little confusing -- as some descriptions are still open to
interpretation. However, the dialog is helpful, because it enables us to
focus on the true business value of data center resources.
According to Forrester Research, cloud computing platforms are more than
shared multi-tenant infrastructures on the public Internet. There are three
infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud deployment options available; each
has unique characteristics and economics.
Forrester’s three cloud service scenarios follow:
Which cloud service scenario is a best-fit for your business needs? Well,
that depends upon a number of related factors -- such as your organizational
bias for direct control, sensitivity to risk, and overall usage requirements
for a cloud computing platform.
Public Cloud Scenario

A lack of ability in the cloud to distinguish illegitimate from legitimate
requests could lead to unanticipated costs in the wake of an attack. How do
you put a price on uptime and more importantly, who should pay for it?
A “Perfect Cloud”, in my opinion, would be one in which the cloud
provider’s infrastructure intelligently manages availability and
performance such that when it’s necessary new instances of an application
are launched to ensure meeting the customer’s defined performance and
availability thresholds. You know, on-demand scalability that requires no
manual intervention. It just “happens” the way it should.
Several providers have all the components necessary to achieve a “perfect
cloud” implementation, though at the nonce it may require that customers
specifically subscribe to one or more services necessary. For example, if you
combine Amazon EC2 with ... (more)

Savvis and Cisco announced an expanded relationship focused on the
development of private clouds for the enterprise.
Savvis will integrate the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) as the
cornerstone of Savvis Symphony, Savvis' next-generation private clouds
platform, previously dubbed Project Spirit, that will power the industry's
first enterprise-class Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) with multi-tiered
security and quality of service capabilities. Cisco UCS unites computational,
network, storage access, and virtualization into a scalable, modular
architecture that is managed as a single system.
The Cisco Unified Service Delivery solution optimally utilizes pools of
resources within any given data center and applies them to any service
offering as well as interconnects data center islands to further combine
resources, which can si... (more)
Infrastructure 2.0 Journal on Ulitzer
Infrastructure 2.0 enabled application delivery platforms have more than a
few things in common with the Transformers. Like Autobots, there’s more to
it than meets the eye.
If you’re familiar with the mythology of the Transformers – and perhaps
even if you aren’t – you know that they key attribute of Transformers is
their ability to take on “alternate modes” such as cars, trucks, and
winged vehicles simply by scanning the object and then adapting their own
form to match.
One of the key premises of Infrastructure 2.0 is also the ability of network
and application networking solutions to adapt to their environments. While
they won’t be transforming their physical manifestations into some other
device they can transform their configurations based on the environment in
which they are deployed. Like the Transformers ability to take ... (more)
In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them
in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)
