		<description><![CDATA[With 2012 well underway, a few new trends in cloud computing have already been identified. At all levels of implementation, cloud hosting continues to dominate the industry. More than mere storage space, these hosted solutions now offer software-as-a-service (SaaS) and even platform-as-a-service (PaaS) functionality for business. As

		<description><![CDATA[Given its rapid adoption, virtualization can potentially benefit billions—or serve as a vector for calamity. Even as it opens new avenues of productivity, cost-savings, and environmental relief, virtualization alters a company’s infrastructure profoundly, testing its ability to monitor and manage the new environment. Virtualization is enabling the global evolution to Cloud computing, but along with that comes the challenge of securing applications and data in that Cloud.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever the subject of cloud computing comes up there are two facts that seem to dominate the conversation.  The first is that enterprises and small business would desperately like to make greater use of the explosion in new cloud services and offerings.  However the discussion will usually rapidly turn to the fact that the potential of the cloud remains out of reach for many business uses.  The reason?  Security.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the Amazon Web Services status page, a transformer from an energy supplier for one of the availability zones (EU-WEST-1 region) in Dublin was struck by lightning. An availability zone is a set of hardware that supports cloud services and that functions independently of other zones. According to the site, the cloud services were weakened by the impact. Since the cloud services are composed of complex software components, Amazon had to assign more hardware to restore its cloud services after the power had been restored.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As many of my blog visitors come from India, I thought it was interesting to put together a short post about the status of cloud computing in India. It is a common consensus that India will play a important role in the growth of cloud computing in the coming years. This is not at all surprising as the cloud will enable much more companies, not least SMEs, to enter the market quicker and more easily as well as benefit economically. And few countries, if any, are producing more SMEs than India, including IT and technology companies, although several challenges still exist - like lack of Internet access and stable electricity in some areas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Security is consistently cited as the biggest inhibitor for organizations to move computing resources and applications to the cloud. It is also the most prominent reason that organizations cite for not using cloudbased applications. This is true for large companies with heavy regulatory requirements and even SMBs that seek out enterprise-class solutions they otherwise wouldn't have access to.

Web Single Sign-On (Web SSO)

One large scale study of password habits ((2007), A Large-Scale Study of Web Password Habits, International World Wide Web Conference; Dinei Florencio and Cormac Herley ) found that a typical web user has about 25 accounts that require passwords and types eight passwords per day. Web users face the burden of managing this increasing number of accounts and passwords, which leads to what is called password fatigue.]]></description>
