Cloudy World

Hi.

As I was web-surfing I found that there are some EXPOs which are held specially for Cloud Computing around the world like what was in Santa Clara.

I found it a nice way to introduce and inform the society and public about Cloud Computing and letting them to know the benefits of C2. I think if they everyone knows the great values of C2 it would make kind of a great deal that will help Clod Computing to grow faster than before and profits everybody.

Here it's the duty of IT Pros. to consider this important thing and start public work.

Also publishing simple Docs. and articles will help a lot.

I think in order of doing so, the 1st point to recognize is organizing the Goals. Means what we want from Cloud Computing and what are the goals that we should introduce. Then managing how the process should be started and continue and what are our plans . . . And then what are our needs.

I think the main requirement is just Brainstorm, which will lead to everything we want.

I am counting the days for living in Cloudy World.
And the World goes On and on . . .

Microsoft eBook about Cloud Computing

Hi.
About two days ago, one of my best friends, Amin Gholami, suggested me a link from Microsoft e-Book Center which was referring to an e-Book of Cloud Computing.
I read and found it interesting. It's about basics of C2 and what Microsoft has described it.
Its Contents are :
  - An Industry Shift Toward Cloud Computing
  - Cloud Computing Basics
  - Emerging Industry Terminology
  - Is Cloud Computing Right For My Business
  - Core Issues To Consider
  - The Unique Microsoft Approach To Cloud Computing
  - Conclusion

2 key points which caught my eyes the most in the article are :

  - Cost Savings of C2 depends on how we manage it, also it may add more costs to our business.

  - One of the Concerns about C2 is the security, because sometimes we are sending information to a third party.

Future of Cloud Computing in 2010

Hi.
I was thinking that how long would Cloud Computing go. What do You think? As I'm surfing webs and reading news about all over the world, mostly America and Europe and also East Asian countries such as Japan or Korea, are working more on C2.
Even in Iran it has became kind of a concern to start Cloud Computing as what I'm trying to know how.
Here I mention some of my predictions and my researches in the Web about Cloud computing in the new year, 2010 .

1. Next Generation Cloud Applications Emerge: 
Well,as I know, SaaS (Software as a Service) is aged about 10 years and the applications were built in the static web tend to have a stilted user experience. But new applications will be more interactive and more user-friendly.Also there maybe be offline Cloud Applications as what Google has mentioned about Chrome, that there will be offline OS after 1st results and releases. New applications will use true and real elasticity which many Saas Apps. still cannot offer.

2. Business Applications Get Social:
It's all ready happening that the major technologies of the year - Cloud Computing and Social Media - are getting the World Business in their hands. I can mention some great companies such as Salesforce and the Oracle CRM which are became more social. Also with the expanded coverage of Facebook,Twitter,Digg and etc. advertising and commercials are getting more social and in touch.

3. More Standards for Cloud Computing:
Two days ago I read about it in InfoWorld that Vint Cerf one of the desigers of TCP/IP protocols, emphasize on the need of some standards for Data Portability in the Cloud. As he said, for example in transfering data form Cloud A to Cloud B, there should be some standards that specify the format of Data and how the transfer should be processed.

4. What do you think ? :D
