Cloud Computing in 2009: IaaS & PaaS
Posted by: Dmitry Sotnikov on: January 1, 2009
Here’s my attempt to put together the list of things I expect to happen to Cloud Computing in 2009 - kind of natural thing to do the fist day of the year, right?
Overall, this is going to be a year when cloud computing will start rapidly maturing with competition heating up on the infrastructure/platform level, [...]

With Cloud Computing taking all the media attention, rapidly growing and generating so much hype no wonder that various industry events are starting to sprawl. Here’s my attempt to put together the schedule of the cloud computing conferences announced for 2009:

Seems that Microsoft is suddenly surprisingly extremely open on how they design and run their datacenters. Not only we have a write up by Michael Manos on their Generation 4 datacenter architecture (and a great concept video), but even more surprisingly James Hamilton is giving us a spreadsheet of their datacenter expense structure!
Can you find [...]

Here are my notes from the second day of SYS-CON’s Cloud Computing Expo (Day 1 notes here):

This week I am at the moderately sunny and warm (can’t believe I was driving through a snow storm in Detroit just 3 days ago) San Jose at SYS-CON’s Cloud Computing Expo.

With all the outages plaguing the SaaS and Cloud Computing vendors recently there seems to be lack of independent rating system telling customers just how reliable each particular cloud service is.
For example, see Richard Watson’s notes from the recent Catalyst event in Prague:
When discussing SaaS, I’d like to see a SaaS suitability rating for each [...]
Will Live Mesh fail like Groove did?

- In: Microsoft
- No Comments
As Microsoft is ramping up its cloud story it seems that Live Mesh is starting to be positioned as one of the key elements. For example, now the Mesh framework got renamed to just Live Framework - quite a promotion unless there’s something else added in there.
I am quite skeptical about the technology and here’s [...]
