by Gary Gauba
(CenturyLink Brandvoice)
"It’s said the average person makes 35,000 decisions per day. Whether at home or on the job, these decisions mold who we are -- and determine where we’re going. Choices are never easy, but the right ones are based on thorough analysis of available data. The trick is to navigate the flood of information and pinpoint what’s relevant..."
10 Quotes on Cloud Computing That Really Say It All
by Joe McKendrick
"Plenty has been said or written on cloud computing in recent years -- pro, con and somewhere in between. Periodically throughout the rise of cloud computing, there have been some real gems put out there, aptly describing what's on people's minds -- and maybe what was needed to be said. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's famous "fashion-driven" analogy back in 2008 is the stuff of legend, and makes this list, compiled below..."
Clout Vs. Klout: They're Not The Same, And Never Will Be
by Tony Greenberg
"There’s been a lot of noise lately about Klout, which creates a single numerical value designed to encapsulate your online influence.
Marketers trying to connect with social-media “influencers” love this idea of One Number to Rule Them All. Klout explicitly tries to emulate for individuals what Google's PageRank system does for website reach and reputation..."

With Cloud Computing, Managing Expectations Is Everything
by Joe McKendrick
"That's why if you want your cloud engagements to succeed, it's important to set expectations as early and often as possible, and be ready to hold vendors' feet to the fire when things aren't working out well. This evolving relationship cloud engagements was explored earlier this year in a panel held at Cloudscape VII in Brussels, led by Joe Weinman..."
Why Cloud Makes Economic Sense In Limited Doses
by Joe McKendrick
"Lately, there has been some talk that suggests that public cloud services eventually cost organizations more than on-premises systems or private clouds.

Cloud Oligarchy? Not Even Close
by Charles Babcock
"The cloud community is busy debating how Amazon and a few other large vendors will dominate cloud economics. But it's far too soon to count out the newcomers. Owen Rogers isn't exactly a household name, but his recent report for 451 Research has drawn plenty of comment. He tried to establish the fundamental economics at work in cloud computing in a July 8 piece titled: 'Commoditization Brings Transformation...'"
Sync IT and Business Like a School of Fish
by Mark Thiele
"It's time to embrace the "composable enterprise" model. IT and the business need to be in constant sync, with either one able to take a leadership role in real time. Keeping IT and business in sync is not a new goal -- it's been discussed for years. Finding a way to do it is the hard part. Even when the business removes political and functional barriers, there are serious limitations in how quickly and effectively IT can respond..."
Escaping from Locked-In Clouds
by Richard Martin
"The first real controversy at the Structure08 cloud computing conference erupted during a panel called "Working the Cloud: NetGen Infrastructure for New Enterpreneurs." Not surprisingly, it involved Google.

How the Cloud Reshapes Smart Business Strategy
by Lauren Hockenson
"As the cloud becomes more sophisticated and connects more devices and technologies to big data, how do we change the business aspect? Joe Weinman, chairman of the IEEE Intercloud Testbed Executive Committee and Gigaom Research analyst, posited onstage at Structure 2014 that we don’t have to throw away old business strategy — careful upgrades of what we already know — considering the cloud, will solve the problem. “The cloud can mediate the process of innovation across a wide global community,” Weinman said..."

I bought the fastest server so why is my app slow?
Mark Thiele, Switch
"It may seem obvious that having the “best” solution doesn’t guarantee a better outcome, but it seems in IT we don’t always see it that way. It seems that we often forget that there are larger issues at play than whether or not a piece of our infrastructure or one of our applications is “the best,” so here’s how I like to think about how to determine what is often a subjective and variable concept in IT..."

"Do you have a great cloud computing idea? Could you use $10,000? If so, check out the Netflix Cloud Computing Challenge which will offer 10 prizes of $10,000 each for the best cloud ideas entered.
The streaming video company, famous for its use of cloud services, is putting up $100,000 to urge developers to come up with new features or “improve usability, quality, reliability and security of computing resources delivered as a service over the internet.” The company’s not new to contests: In 2006 it launched The Netflix Prize for the best collaborative filtering algorithm to aid in personalized film ratings. That prize was discontinued a few years later..."
Two good infrastructure considerations for the internet of things from SXSW
Stacey Higginbotham
When it comes to building out the broadband infrastructure, the data networks and the processing for the internet of things, we’re going to have to make some changes. That’s the message I got from conversations with a variety of people and from panels at South by Southwest in Austin this weekend.
It’s the network, stupid
When considering washing machines that tweet, inventory-tracking sensors that send a few pieces of data or home health monitoring systems that are tracking someone’s heartbeat, most people assume the data is so small that the network can handle it. But today’s networks are designed to fulfill very different scenarios.
Telx adds faster link to Amazon cloud for NY-area companies

"Data centers in the New York Metro area can now get faster, more secure connections to Amazon’s big data center hubs via a new Telx AWS Direct Connect facility. Telx already offered AWS Direct Connect service to San Francisco area customers to AWS the US-West facility. The new connection adds speeded-up links to Amazon’s biggest US-East data center farm in Ashburn..."
Which of the 3 cups has a cloud under it?
Mark Thiele, Switch
"In the fight over private versus public clouds, we’re all arguing about the same thing. But we keep doing it because we somehow believe we can confuse the customer into buying “more of mine” and “less of hers” if we explain how our vision of cloud is better. I’ve written about what cloud is or isn’t several times in the past, but, I feel that I missed some important context. The context is what leads me to consider the idea of three different clouds..."
The cloud shouldn’t be an over-the-top service
Stacey Higginbotham
The public Internet and the cloud shouldn’t mix, according to a paper out today from Joe Weinman of HP. Cisco seems to agree, if Tuesday’s announcement of its CloudVerse suite of products is any indication. A growing number of endpoints, the multiple services built within web applications, and the infinite variety of demands made on any web-based service mean the network can’t be trusted to run over the top.
Why big apps require big bandwidth
Stacey Higginbotham
"Web applications that are deployed in one or a few data centers can watch their bandwidth costs exceed their server and hosting costs as the applications scale up, according to a paper written for an Alcatel-Lucent (s alu) publication. The paper looked at what telecommunications companies, such as Verizon (s vz) or CenturyLink(s ctl), can offer as cloud providers. The consensus was that they can offer better control of the network, but it also assumed that these providers have more widely distributed data centers, which also has its benefits..."
The future of the cloud, as seen by Cisco
Katie Fehrenbacher
"The future of the cloud is a programmable network with applications that are smarter about using resources, said Lew Tucker, VP and CTO of Cloud Computing for Cisco at Structure 2011 in San Francisco on Wednesday. The industry needs to be able to provide more access to applications and be able to “program the network how we’d like to,” said Tucker, noting that this was one of the driving factors for why Cisco has embraced OpenStack, an open source cloud project pushing an open cloud computing platform..."
Today in Cloud
Paul Miller
"Over at InformationWeek, Charles Babcock reports on yesterday’s presentation by James Staten of Forrester. Babcock paraphrases Staten’s words and incorporates aspects of Joe Weinman’s 10 Laws of Cloudonomics, writing that “the way to get the benefit of the cloud is to use it when you need, shrink your use as demand decreases, and shut it off when demand has gone away.” Whilst there’s obviously a lot more to the cloud, this is worth remembering; you only have it or pay for it whilst you need it and are using it. Now isn’t that better than all those idle servers, whirring away in the basement?..."
Data is Great, Until You Have Too Much of It
Mathew Ingram
"One of the interesting aspects of GigaOM’s Structure conference last week from a NewNet perspective was the discussion of what some participants called the “Big Data” problem. In a sense, this issue affects virtually every other aspect of the infrastructure industry that was the focus of the conference, both on the hardware side and the software side, and it stems from the fundamental nature of the web and the Internet itself. Not only that, but it is an issue that no one — with the possible exception of Google and Microsoft — can really claim to have a handle on..."
Structure 2010: Reinventing the Internet: Get Ready for Software-defined Networks
Josie Garthwaite
"Designed decades ago to hold up amid nuclear apocalypse, the infrastructure of the Internet now faces strain from a very different source: the explosion of cloud computing. According to Nick McKeown, professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, creating an Internet that will serve us well into the future demands a new, open approach to data flows and networking. McKeown spoke today at the GigaOM Network’s Structure conference about how and why we’ll increasingly see networks defined by software, with control gradually being “lifted up and out into a global network operating system.”
Dynamic Pricing Comes to Amazon's Cloud
Stacey Higginbotham
"Amazon.com today said it would offer variable pricing for clients of its cloud computing service. The pricing, called Spot Instances, allows users to bid for access to unused compute time for as long as their bid exceeds the current spot price for an hour of computing. The introduction of dynamic pricing is something our guest columnist Joe Weinman predicted this weekend in his post discussing different ways to price services in the cloud..."
The Debate Over Definitions Rages On
Derrick Harris
"Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, the debate over the definition of cloud computing has reared its ugly head again.
The topic apparently kicked off a panel discussion at the recent VoiceCon event, with seven different answers from seven different panelists (ranging from “anything related to a computer in the public network,” to a “network-based communication utility,” to “an evolution starting with Centrex, IP-Centrex”). And while the AT&T spokesperson on that panel said the company wasn’t defining “cloud,” Joe Weinman, VP of Strategy and Business Development for AT&T Business Solutions, recently took a stab at doing so in a post at GigaOM, defining CLOUD as a “Common Location-independent Online Utility service, available on-Demand...”

How Network Statistics Can Make Search Better And More Relevant
Allan Leinwand
"This week I read a fascinating article by Joe Weinman that was published in Business Communications Review. In it, he proposes an innovative concept that could initiate a paradigm shift in Internet search, fixing what may be its biggest problem: too many results, many of which are of limited relevance.
He argues that the search engine portals have been ignoring a wealth of information that can be gathered from the network layer. Search engines, he says, could use deep packet inspection, sampling, and other techniques to collect network traffic statistics, analyze and parse the statistics to better understand usage and popularity of sites and the pages within those sites — then add this knowledge to their algorithms to return more relevant results..."
