Cloud ROI

Yes, there is a problem counting ROI in Cloud computing as Joe McKendrick (@joemckendrick) tell in the post Cloud Computing's ROI Increasingly Elusive, Survey Finds out on Forbes but I will continue to count value, not just numbers all the time. To be able to count value we have to understand Cloud computing and why it should be considered and planned for at the upper levels.

Short break out from Joe McKendricks post:
"Perhaps it’s a result of cloud becoming so tightly interwoven with the business that the potential results may be more far-reaching than a single process or two. Or, perhaps, cloud adoption and usage is expanding deeper into business operations at a faster pace than

Interesting read: What makes a quality Cloud hosting provider? Part 1

Over at Compare the Cloud a interesting read and, as always, a great discussion takes place. It's the post
What makes a quality Cloud hosting provider? Part 1 by Richard May.

Short break out:
"How is the supplier operating the platform? Do you have to compete with other users for resources? How does the platform deal with that contention? Different platforms handle this better than others and as many home broadband providers will notice, services can be slow during school holidays. Fine, but can you afford for your applications to be slow due to similar events occurring which are out of your control? I have heard of instances where providers are contending memory by 4 – 8 times on a server.

Cloud (summ)arise 2012!


2012 was a remarkable year for me in social media. I’ve gained more than 1 000 followers…without any follow back strategy. More than 10’ visitors on the blog and good traffic and sharing on GP’s around the web. Not bad for a rookie I think. Big THANK YOU to all readers, supporters and followers. I truly appreciate it. And by the way… what a remarkable year it was for Cloud Computing.

And by the way...what a remarkeable year it was for Cloud Computing. Who’s not impressed by true cloud…when it makes sense, fulfill needs and works like it’s supposed to?

This is my cloud, and a bit of IT Ooutsourcing and management, summary for 2012.

Enterprises Achilles' heel in Cloud computing

Below is my comment to the post Cloud computing's Achilles' heel: Poor customer service by David Linthicum (@DavidLinthicum) on InfoWorld yesterday.

Short break out from Davids post:
"These days, larger enterprises are investing in public clouds, and they're accustomed to real people talking to them on the phone, account managers in their offices, and cell numbers for support engineers on call around the clock. In other words, they want public cloud providers to offer the same level of customer service as the larger

    GP on maildistiller.com

    My first and hopefully not the last guest post on Maildistiller is out: Cloud Price War Consequences

    Special thank you to: Sarah-Louise, Caroline & Danielle

    Short break out:
    Cash is King

    Yes, in a sellout price war world. Cash when it comes to services means long-term agreements. One of the fundamentals in cloud is the ability to move between CSPs, irrelevant of the reason why. Pay upfront, when it comes to IT services, is not cloud friendly: it’s a

    Part 3 in the Cloud Compliance series

    My latest post, Part 3, in the Cloud Compliance series is out on Newvem. Please enjoy
    Cloud Compliance: Part 3 – Choosing the Right (IaaS) Cloud Service Provider
    Short break out:
    In this part we will dig a bit deeper and detail the standards and regulations that some of the most common infrastructure (IaaS) Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) comply with and are certified for. CSPs are not always obliged to follow all regulations, but normally they have procedures to make their consumer cloud compliant. We also look at four of the IaaS giants

    My Cloud 2013 predictions

    My Cloud 2013 predictions is out on Newvem: The Cloud is dead! Long live the Cloud!

    Short break out:
    • We don’t see cloud as a problem. You adopt a cloud service if it fits your business. You install a system/application as part of your on-premise solution if it fits your business. You make them work together; there are some orchestrating apps and people for that.
    • It’s not an internal love affair between cloud service providers. It’s not even a love affair between cloud service providers and engaged IT Pros, evangelists, and journalists anymore. A sweet lasting smell of love is obviously starting to arise between cloud services and IT departments and non-IT business people.
    • The transfer of legacy

    My a bit clumsy comment to 'Is Desktop Virtualization The Way To Go?'

    I commented the post Is Desktop Virtualization The Way To Go? by Abdul Salam on CloudTweaks last week.

    Short break out:
    "So now let us look a little deeper on what desktop virtualization brings to the table. 
    Here are some of the most notable benefits:
    • Global access through any device that can connect to the internet and have display and input functions like smartphones and tablets.
    • Most virtual desktop solutions also support local storage drives and printers, while others might use some local processing power like graphics and sound processing.
    • Allows for quick integration, upgrade, and change of applications for select user groups, individuals, and globally.
    • Enhance security and data integrity plus easy backup solutions. Minimize data theft

    Security – in, from and with the Cloud

    My post Security – in, from and with the Cloud on ITBusinessCloud

    ----------

    Security – in, from and with the Cloud

    Security is one of the hottest topics when it comes to obstacles of adopting cloud services. Maybe we theatrically should “tear this wall down”, de-dramatize it, without tearing the importance of good security down – because it is important!

    One type?

    No, there are several different types of security services related to cloud. Examples:

    1. Security within a cloud service which has another purpose than delivering security, for instance an email service. The security in this type of services is to protect your data from other people or systems, not being harmed by malware, backed up and the ability to be restored etc.
    2. Security as a Service delivered as a cloud service which you can adopt to your existing on-premise solution. Examples:
      • Encryption
      • SPAM and Malware protection
      • Firewalls
    3. Audit tools/services who will audit the vulnerability within, to and around your cloud service (No. 1 & 2 above).
    4. Consulting audit services. Pretty much like No. 3 but performed by humans and normally gives you a report how to act on a problem given by No. 3. 
    This is on a high level what security in the cloud is about. No. 2, 3 and 4 normally works fine. People don’t fear security in services delivered from well-known security services providers. No. 2 might be a bit problematic to adapt to services delivered from other vendors but API’s, integration services and true co-op between CSP’s (Cloud Service Provider) will solve this better in the future. No. 1 is the wall needed to be de-dramatized and torn down…

    Fear = out of your control

    The highest obstacle to pass is

    Collection 2 of great posts

    It's time for my second collection of great posts. These four are, according to me, connected to each other in two ways: career and orchestration. I will link each post up, give you a short break out and add a short comment of mine.

    First, when reading; think about how you can be a part of future IT, in the cloud, in hybrid solutions. Customers, whether to an IT department an ITO, MSP or appl operator,  need support from someone they can trust, their IT need to be orchestrated not only techy, its needed to be orchestrated on all levels

    Collection of great posts

    Some great and even important posts from yesteraday. You should read them to, it might be good for your business or career.

    IT sourcing models are shifting: A Deloitte perspective by Karl Flinders (@karlfl). Short break out:
    ""Are we witnessing the death of the 'mega-deal'? Is it going to get even tougher for the traditional one-stop-shop IT Outsourcing (ITO) houses? Why are so many organisations re-thinking traditional sourcing models all at the same time?

    A collection of comments

    This is a collection of the comments I've posted today on a couple of sites. Most important one is No. 3. It's time we put pressure and demand true professionalism. New business opportunity in No. 2 - go ahead, time for action.

    Comment 1: Commented: Employees Engage in Rogue Cloud Use Regardless of Security Policies


    David Linthicums 'Cloud computing: The semi-secret economic equalizer'

    Interesting read: Cloud computing: The semi-secret economic equalizer by David Linticum on InfoWorld.

    Short breakout:
    "As the study illustrates, the cost efficiencies of cloud computing are the same in third-world countries as in the developed world, and up-and-coming nations can leverage data, applications, and infrastructure that were once cost prohibitive. In turn, this increases
