Cloud Applications Performance Management gets Serious
I had the opportunity to present on Applications Performance Management for Cloud Hosted Applications at the Cloud Connect Conference in Santa Clara CA on March 15, 2010. It was an eventful presentation as I was part of panel assembled by Hon Won (former founder of NetIQ and now EVP of Business Development at Coradiant). The… VMware and the Ionix Assets – A Deeper Look

This is obviously in competition with the vast majority of the… Cisco – VMware – NetApp an Interesting Approach to Secure Multi-TenancyThe Cisco-VMware-NetApp (CVN) was discussed on the Virtualization Security Podcast as it pertains to Secure Multi-Tenancy (SMT). This is a major concern that was also discussed at RSA Conference 2010 within the Cloud Security Alliance Summit. The question still remains how to achieve this goal however. CVN is a very good start, but as we… CA Buys Cloud Platform Vendor, 3TeraThe acquisition of 3Tera by Computer Associates signals an intent to move beyond traditional Systems Management, into something that may almost be viewed as Operating System: a layer of software called AppLogic that sits above the virtualization stack, and provides a consolidated abstraction against which composite applications may be built within the Cloud.

I and other have pushed the concept that to gain performance, redundancy, and security that you should use multiple network links to your… Xsigo Forms an Alliance with CTC and HitachiThose of you who attended VMworld this year will remember the stack of servers and storage on display happily serving VM's to the vistors, exhibitors and Staff at the conference, well one of the key components of that stack was provided by Xsigo. Their product the I/O Director offers signficant savings in large environments by… Virtualization and Cloud Missing Key Features: Auditing and ForensicsThere are two key features missing from Virtualization and Cloud Computing. Those are auditing and forensics. The A6 project aims to fix this problem for auditing, but there is only some research into forensics. The issue is about discovering who did what when, where, how, and hopefully why. Auditing plays into this for Compliancy but… Virtualization/Cloud and Multi-Factor AuthenticationI was posed with a question today, "I'm looking for some info on account & password management for consultants that visit a lot of customers where they have to do admin stuff." with a secondary question of "how to manage the account if a constultant leaves?" This was specific to the VMware vSphere but would… |
