By many, the importance of virtualization is considered to become less significant when cloud-based application platforms mature to the point where applications are built and deployed without any reference to current notions of servers and operating systems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are telcos loosing in the race of becoming viable cloud computing service providers? Some analysts maintain that telcos have a difficult time in becoming a dominant cloud computing player or even identifying their particular niche. While this may have some truth in it, I tend to see a number of inherent strengths that telcos are in a particularly good position to capitalize upon. For one thing, telcos in general have a good reputation for reliability and security, based on their legacy of running mission critical systems (voice and networks).]]></description>

Instead of downloading and installing applications on the mobile handsets (smartphones, tablets, etc.) users will access them directly in the cloud and display through the mobile browser.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Normally, cloud computing services and applications are delivered to users through an Internet connection. But what about organizations that want something more than a "best effort" service delivery through the Internet? Then there is the possibility of Content Delivery Network or CDNs like Akamai and Limelight Networks, which promise a better than best effort service or content delivery.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I participated in a research study under the auspices of Eurescom, working with research colleagues from Telenor, PT Inovacao (Portugal Telecom - Innovation) and Orange Labs (France Telecom). Our objective was to analyse Cloud Computing as both a technology concept and service delivery model, especially from its networking perspective, and its implications for telcos in general. ]]></description>

According to a recent report from the Yankee Group, many thought leaders, including Trend Micro, Cisco and CSL, say the issue of latency and poor performance is, at least temporarily, hindering the adoption of cloud computing.]]></description>

It seems clear that different legislations related to data privacy and, especially, cross-border transfer of data is causing a lot of uncertainty and retention by many IT managers considering cloud services.]]></description>

However, there are several ways to improve network performances and quality levels by using e.g. overlay networks, managed IP networks and the FASP protocol.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the primary characteristics of cloud computing is the virtualization of IT resources, network servers in particular - running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. Delivering economical, virtualized, elastic and utility based, or pay-as-you-go, services is in essence what cloud computing is. Still, virtualization and cloud computing should not be used as synonyms, as seems quite common.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hybrid clouds seem as a sensible intermediary step between public and private clouds, enabling organizations to leverage  upon both worlds - combining on-demand capacity with in-house compliance.
Implementing a hybrid cloud strategy is simply an attempt to augment a private cloud with the resources of a public cloud in order to maintain acceptable service levels despite spikes in demand, i.e. to address and prevent the so called Cloudbursting ("the failure of a cloud computing environment due to the inability to handle spike in demand").]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As more companies offer cloud computing services and the number of users increase, statistics tell us that the likelihood of a serious problem occurring, for example, somewhere in the  transfer network or in different security segments, increases. We have already seen some serious 'outages' in the past, such at Magnolia, the social bookmarking site that crashed and lost all its data earlier this year. Will 2010 be the year of some disastrous encounters for cloud computing?]]></description>
