| 5 Enterprise Cloud Predictions for 2013 |
|
|||
| January 01 2013 |
||||
|
||||
| I believe that this is the year when the enterprise will find its way to the cloud.
The mega Internet sites and applications are the new era enterprises. These will become the role models for the traditional enterprise. IT needs remain the same with regards to scale, security, SLA, etc. However, the traditional enterprise CIO has already set the goal for next year: 100% efficiency.
The traditional CIO understands that in order to achieve that goal, IT will need to start and do cloud, make sure that IT resources are utilized right, and that his teams move fast. |

| The Hard Part About Rolling Up Clouds |
|
|||
| November 11 2012 |
||||
|
||||
| Oracle's (Nasdaq: ORCL) recent acquisition of RightNow (Nasdaq: RNOW) raises a question: Can multiple cloud companies be merged together to form a tightly coupled suite of solutions like those which were promised but never delivered during the client-server era? On the face of things, it would appear that merging cloud companies together should be relatively easy and straightforward since many of them already interconnect with the advent of application program interfaces (APIs). Alas, not every cloud company is built the same. Like snowflakes, cloud company architectures, programming languages and a myriad of other operational pieces and parts can differ dramatically. |

|
||||
| Cloud is hot, cloud is here to stay and no matter how inefficient and insecure you feel it is, you would not like to miss any update on cloud. Probably 2012 is the year when cloud market has faced many negative allegations too for example cloud marketing is blamed of misleading the clients and users. Cloud was called the victim of over marketing. At the same time businesses have realized that cloud computing is not just about going on-premise to off-premise for saving few thousand dollars but it is a complete business transformation strategy. Cloud, Mobile application development and big data was the popular trio of the year.
Now year is about to end. So where cloud computing is heading in 2013? What is the future of cloud computing especially what are the major shifts taking place and what form it would take in 2013 and coming years? Following are the complete details:

||||
|
||||
| As befitting any great online vendor, Amazon cloud product guys listen carefully to their market targets and ensure fast implementation and delivery to satisfy their needs. It is clear that Amazon cloud is eager to conquer the enterprise market, as I already mentioned in my past post, “Amazon AWS is the Cloud (for now anyway)”. |

| Cloud Computing and Project and Portfolio Management |
|
|||
| December 13 2011 |
||||
|
||||
| Project portfolio management (PPM) is a term to describe methods for analyzing and collectively managing a group of current or proposed projects. Project management is an integrative endeavour – an action, or failure to take action, in one area will usually affect other areas. PPM attempts to address issues of resource allocation, e.g., money, time, people, capacity, etc.
Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions will become increasingly important to managing successful cloud adoption and to providing visibility and control of the cloud services portfolio. PPM is the only product category that will see a significant increase over the next two years (up 13%) when it comes to managing public cloud migrations |
||||
| Cloud vs. Control |
|
|||
| November 21 2011 |
||||
|
||||
| The adoption of public cloud computing by enterprise IT requires that a certain level of control is relinquished, specifically around perimeter security and the level of visibility and operability of infrastructure. |

| Cloud Computing - Slow Adoption Rates, Current Obstacles |
|
|||
| November 16 2011 |
||||
|
||||
| Despite the hype, companies are only slowly migrating to cloud computing, chiefly due to several key challenges. The surveys conducted this year indicates that the adoption is limited right now.The increased adoption of cloud computing over the next few years will depend on how some of the main obstacles are overcome and how the benefits obtained including ROI, agility, flexibility and other strategic advantages are measured and communicated. |

| Integrated Cloud Framework and Social Management or Crowdsourcing the easy way |
|
|||
| March 01 2011 |
||||
|
||||
| Crowdsourcing is one of the real examples of shifting paradigm between IT Worlds created exclusively for Business Purposes and Society following their global goals. Crowd is in physical world depended on proximity, in virtual world the communities are able to connect together anytime, anywhere in the world and most important, they are growing and acting exponentially cumulating their “crowd power” by socializing and following community goals.
What makes CrowdSourcing so powerful is the broad participation that takes place at relatively no costs. Solutions are generated from volunteers or freelance professionals who get paid only if you use their ideas.
The most famous example of Crowdsourcing is Wikipedia, collaboration of millions people, concentrated around one goal – to describe world around us in structured way; following integrated semantic and reference rules, driven by volunteers. Contribution model is literally spread out into all social levels and geographically speaking – everybody is contributor of this Collective Intelligence product. |

The Future of Cloud Computing: Opportunities for European Cloud Computing Beyond 2010 |
|
|||
| January 23 2010 |
||||
|
||||
| This document provides a detailed analysis of Europe’s position with respect to cloud provisioning, and how this affects in particular future research and development in this area. The report is based on a series of workshops involving experts from different areas related to cloud technologies.
In more detail, the identified opportunities are: (1) Provisioning and further development of Cloud infrastructures, where in particular telecommunication companies are expected to provide offerings; (2) Provisioning and advancing cloud platforms, which the telecommunication industry might see as a business opportunity, as well as large IT companies with business in Europe and even large non-IT businesses with hardware not fully utilized. (3) Enhanced service provisioning and development of meta-services: Europe could and should develop a ‘free market for IT services’ to match those for movement of goods, services, capital, and skills. Again telecommunication industry could supplement their services as ISPs with extended cloud capabilities; (4) provision of consultancy to assist businesses to migrate to, and utilize effectively, clouds. This implies also provision of a toolset to assist in analysis and migration. |
