Cloud Security market to hit $1.5 billion by 2015
2010-10-28 20:18:00 It's always interesting to read analyst forecasts of market size and growth - but I actually think this one is pretty well grounded. Cloud security is going to be a hot topic in IT over the next few years. I think many people think cloud technology is less secure that traditional systems but actually that doesn't have to be the case. Cloud platforms can make corporate IT more secure by adopting an inclusive security model, federated identity management and providing the ability for users to serve themselves with robust IT solutions that serve the long-tail of applications rather than turning a blind eye to shadow systems developed on Excel, Access and PowerPoint. Perhaps the biggest issue though is enabling organizations to cascade duties of data security to departmental managers rather than IT and giving them the tools to do it. Departmental managers often know more about the risk of using data for new apps (and the context of use) compared to IT.Agilization is the blog on bu...

Encanvas Vendor Agnostic Platform-As-A-Service and Azure
2010-06-14 18:42:00 Platform-As-A-Service (PaaS) is a term that's beginning to gain currency and understanding within the large enterprise CIO community. Why? Well probably because CIOs know that there has to be a technology layer that sits between Software-As-A-Service and the Infrastructure of the cloud (now being called Infrastructure-As-A-Service). This technology layer must provide the ability to design, deploy and operate applications on the cloud. Funny, because that?s exactly what Encanvas Secure&Live has been marketed as since its launch in early 2010. Encanvas Secure&Live is a Rich Internet Portal platform that supports the design, deployment and operation of secure and live workspaces that extend networks and processes beyond the traditional boundary of the enterprise. It could be argued that it provides organizations with a white label PaaS solution, Encanvas distinguishes itself today by being the only software platform to remove the need for coding or scripting skills from IT ? causing ...

Taking your first step onto the cloud
2010-05-06 15:54:00 Why situational applications are the obvious first step into cloud computing for public sector organisations Faced with depressing predictions of looming budget cuts cloud computing has come to the fore of discussions to uncover relatively short-term economies in IT functions within the public sector. But how much of the cloud story is hype? How different are cloud architectures to the web-server farms that organisations have had the means to access for well over a decade? And how realistic is it that core business systems will move out of the data centre into the cloudspace? Most of the CIOs I speak to are sceptical of the real-world practicality of large-scale porting of business critical apps to the cloud. They site concerns over data security, business continuity, administration and the realistic challenges of running a relationship with a vendor that will need to provide robust administrative tools to manage day-to-day support activities. Even those CIOs who brush through al...

Encanvas Enterprise Mashups on Azure changes the role of Business Analyst
2010-04-02 12:22:00 The announcement that Encanvas will be on Microsoft Azure later this month is likely to forever change the role of business analysts. At one time business analysts were almost seen as the triage people for IT development teams. They were the people that could understand business and make sense of processes; people with one foot in the business and the other in IT able to bridge across the impermeable divide that exists in the enterprise between business and IT. They were also the ?owners of the problem? that developers were charged to fix with their software developments. So in many organizations, business analysts became the well paid ?good communicating? bag carriers of the slightly higher paid software developers who could sit in their back rooms and ?just code?. This narrowly scoped role of the business analyst is not likely to sustain. In an agile business era there is no room for the heavy price of ?discovery and learning? in software development. Everyone knows that any lea...

Why is Squork better than Google Wave? ..and other good questions
2010-02-26 13:52:00 YOUTUBE videos on Squork are getting some attention and the first few bits of feedback we?ve received ask some very pointy questions on what makes Squork better than Google Wave and free source software. Rather than answer the same questions a hundred times a day I thought it probably a good idea to answer them here;-). My thanks to Aravind for summarizing the key questions!QUESTION ? ?What is Squork??Squork is a secure and live business social operating system. It enables communities to develop and operate virtual social network operating spaces for their business or community of interest. QUESTION ? ?Where has Squork come from??ANSWER - Squork is a deployment of the Encanvas Secure&Live Integrated Software Platform (which itself can take some explaining). With Encanvas people can design, deploy and operate their business applications using a single integrated platform without needing programming or scripting skills. It obviates the need for traditional enterprise portal plat...

Cloud computing: Get on the ground floor
2009-08-28 13:00:00 "The term 'cloud computing' is nothing particularly new or complicated; it simply means that instead of having software on your home, office or notebook computer, you run applications over the Internet," explains Gregg Early.In Personal Finance he looks at three plays on this trend: Amazon.com (NA-SDAQ: AMZN); Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM); and Rackspace Hosting- (NYSE: RAX)."It’s the way of the future as computing becomes increasingly mobile. I would point out that I’m writing this article on Google Docs. This document is stored on a Google server farm, not on my office computer. "When I want to access this document -- from my house, office, laptop or mobile phone -- I simply go to my Google account and it shows up. This kind of computing has gone from quixotic concept to ubiquitous reality."From a business standpoint cloud computing is compelling because it means a business doesn’t have to buy softwar...

2009-08-25 08:55:00 General term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet is called cloud computing.

Is Cloud Computing Detrimental For IT Professional Jobs?
2009-07-24 12:02:00 (Critical editing by Abhishek Kapoor) Nowadays you must have heard about the cloud computing technology that many IT companies have adopted. WATBlog has reported regularly about the whereabouts of Cloud Computing. No doubt its an innovative concept but somewhere it is threatening IT jobs. IDC has predicted that by 2012, investment on cloud service will increase to $42 billion. Analyst firm indicated that as time will pass cloud computing will become more and more prevalent it will replace the jobs performed by IT professionals. There’s nothing to worry, this won’t happen at least for the next few months. As of now SaaS is in and cloud computing is the next level but not its replacement. It is more likely to take five years for any company to switch over. Initially, cloud computing will create new jobs for monitoring infrastructure performance, datacenter operations, shifting to cloud service provider like Google, Amazon etc. According to Mark McDonald, Vice President of...

Cloud Computing, SaaS and Such--Have We Read This Story Before?
2009-05-05 02:30:00 I have this incredible feeling of déjà vu.Cloud computing and Software as a Service is all the rage. In my practice at PJM Consulting, I am very involved in software startup activity. Nearly every new software company that I see today is being built on the Software as a Service business model. It's all the rage--so much so that it appears that any self-respecting software entrepreneur would be embarrassed to start a company using the traditional software licensing model. Even if an entrepreneur was so inclined, good luck finding a VC who would even consider funding such a company. No one wants to look like a dinosaur.It's all well and good--there is definitely a real trend toward SaaS and Cloud Computing, with many good reasons for it. But most high technology trends are initially a bit over-hyped, and tend to get ahead of themselves. In addition, this particular story seems ever so familiar to a tech veteran that's been around for a few of these cycles.The first bit of history t...

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos on cloud computing
2008-05-31 17:20:00 Not to slam our current crop of tech and business reporters, but it’s refreshing to see an interview with a tech CEO done to the point with relevance. Done at the D6 conference, Om Malik Questioned Mr Bezos on how Amazon web services got stated and where it’s going. Om also brought Wall Street’s complete ignorance of the significance of the cloud computing wave into focus. How and when Amazon began its cloud computing effort. Why Amazon has become an innovator with Amazon Web Services and how it relates to their core business of being an online retailer. Whether or not Wall Street recognizes Amazons cloud efforts. Whats next for Amazon Web Services. Whether or not Amazon has plans for a VC fund or for cloud computing startups. (GigaOm)
