		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to telecoms and data centers or cloud services, I think they are in a unique but fragile situation. Many telecoms already possess large and distributed data centers that have been used for hosting and colocation services for many years. However, compared to cloud services, these have generally been expensive, closed and slow in service provisioning.]]></description>

		<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[Cloud computing has been opening many doors across all industries, and it's having a new, profound effect on the business intelligence (BI) industry as well.
BI helps companies analyze data and turn it into valuable business information. As more data and applications migrate into the cloud, numerous new data sources are being created. BI providers are adapting their tools to this new reality, and successful companies must now evaluate and act upon this opportunity.
However, as with any new technology form, both pros and cons exist. Below are a few benefits and challenges that companies may experience when considering and deploying cloud-based BI solutions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the IT environment becomes increasingly more complex with new technologies and applications, IT administrators are searching for simplified and cost-effective means of delivery computing resources, required for employees to do their daily work. Virtualization technologies have provided an additional layer of complexity many small businesses do not understand, nor truly have the resources to deploy internally, without expensive training and dedicated personal resources. So how can small companies  (0-99 employees) truly benefit from virtualization without incurring the additional costs and training needed ?]]></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>
