The Cloud and You: New Delivery Models Bring New Challenges |
| |
 |
Sudev Bangah
Research Manager, Consulting, IDC Malaysia |
| |
With cloud services and technologies maturing in conjunction with stabilization and recovery of regional economies, 2010 and 2011 are already proving to be launch pads for investments in the cloud. However, the lingering impact of the global economic meltdown combined with a lack of experience in cloud deployment and some ongoing concerns about the cloud are affecting the intentions of the early mainstream cloud implementers. However, strategies are being built now and new implementation challenges are becoming apparent and solutions are being sought.
Based on IDC survey data and client interviews, this presentation examines three key areas that are important to any organization considering cloud services and technologies:
- How the shifting goals of business are affecting your technology choices
- Cloud Nirvana, Reality or Mirage?
- Leveraging the Cloud for Business Benefit.

Red Hat's cloud vision is unlike that of any other IT vendor.

Networking the Cloud: A Down-to-Earth Reality |
| |
 |
Lam Chee Keong
Enterprise Solutions Manager, APAC, Juniper Networks |
| |
Whether it's a public or private cloud, one key factor that will drive adoption is user experience. The cloud application may have the best user interface or the most powerful features but if the network in the data center where the application is stored cannot scale and perform as expected, then the poor experience will just force the user to another provider or stall the adoption. Today's networking architecture in the data center is antiquated dating back to nearly two decades ago. With the evolution of applications, server technology and virtualization, it is not a sustainable model as it quickly becomes too expensive and complex to scale. The cloud-ready data center network addresses this challenge with its 3-2-1 architecture and will show how it is possible to have user experience without sacrificing the economics in order to provide for that. |

Cloud computing is becoming a promising solution especially in today current economic downturn for those looking at significantly reducing IT expenditure. The global appeal of cloud computing has grown by leaps and bounds, aligning itself with top business priorities, which traditionally have been about increasing profits and reducing cost structures. As one of the new, alternative computing models, cloud computing allows existing IT capabilities to be extended, or new capabilities added, with no or a low up-front costs as it minimizes investments in new infrastructure, training of new personnel or licensing of new software. In fact, Cloud computing are part of the evolution that started since days of mainframe and how you can take advantage of your existing environment to streamline and align better with your enterprise business goals.
