Cloud computing has come a long way. We have great new technologies capable of making our data centers more agile, efficient and easier to manage. With cloud computing there are a few considerations which still must be made.
For example, understanding the use-case or where cloud computing fits into the business model. Organizations looking to move towards a cloud solution must know some of the infrastructure components which compliment a solid cloud architecture.
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with ‘The Cloud’ and ask it about challenges, current trends and understanding the right fit. Take a look at the interview and see how cloud computing can help!

There’s little doubt that the evolution of the data center is here. We are now concentrating our efforts on reducing the hardware footprint and increasing data agility. The IT world is currently in a “data on demand” state where information is being delivered anywhere, anytime and on any device with an Internet connection. This type of shift has created new markets and interesting areas into which cloud computing, data center infrastructure and unified computing are all expanding.
Organizations are seeing the big benefits of moving towards more efficient environments capable of scaling upwards faster. With virtualization coming into play, its important to know where the data center is going and how you can keep up. In this podcast, I sat down with TechTarget and discussed what’s in store for 2012, unified computing architecture, and the integration of cloud computing. Enjoy!

Many organizations are now looking to leverage cloud technologies to help their business grow and expand. The flexibility of the cloud offers many benefits for an innovative company. While numbers environments are looking towards public cloud technologies, IT managers should never underestimate the power of their internal data center technologies and the agility of a private cloud.
Often, companies with robust environments don’t realize the investment to move toward a private cloud could be minimal and possibly more cost-effective than a pay-as-you-go public cloud service. Depending on the organization, its size and business goals, working with either a public or private infrastructure might make sense. The idea is to consider existing IT infrastructure capabilities of the internal data center. This case study examines three different organizations and how the private cloud has helped their business stay innovative and push ahead of the competition.

The lure of cloud computing is multidimensional. Doubtless, it provides a high degree of datacenter agility and helps you extend the value of investments you’ve made in your infrastructure. The cost savings and flexibility, however, can be crucial to startups, where the importance of every dollar is magnified. Traditional cloud computing models may not be sufficient for some startups, though, especially if they are in sensitive or highly regulated industries. In these situations, a hybrid cloud computing model may be most appropriate.

Citrix has announced the availability of XenServer 5.6, which has several new features. This enterprise-ready, cloud-proven virtualization platform delivers the capabilities necessary to create and manage a virtual infrastructure …. at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions. XenServer 5.6 will be available on May 28, 2010.
Last year, Citrix was able to double XenServer’s market share, and it expects to grow it another 18 percent by the end of 2010. XenServer has been selected as the back-end virtual infrastructure for around 40 percent of all Citrix XenDesktop VDI implementations.

Last week, Citrix announced a 3 Gbps version of NetScaler VPX at the Interop 2010 conference in Las Vegas. The solution brings a 3X increase in performance and cloud-level scalability and elasticity. With virtualization adoption continuing at a fairly rapid clip (though with plenty of room to grow), the new version of NetScaler VPX is a crucial development.

The buzz around cloud computing is palpable. Though its penetration into IT infrastructures is still relatively low, professionals are discussing the potential of this new technology. Many are considering at least limited implementations to gauge the effectiveness of this approach to computing.
Since the market moves quickly, here are five things you should know about cloud computing when evaluating whether it’s the right move for your datacenter:

With all the information bouncing around about the upside – and risks – associated with cloud computing, it’s easy to get lost in the details. Doubtless, this is the hot new technology, and it’s still in its infancy. As IT professionals move from discussion to pilot and implementation, which we’re likely to see in greater numbers this year, it will be crucial to understand clearly the factors that make cloud computing an attractive alternative … and the risks that can make it inappropriate for some systems or companies.
Check out the short list of pros and cons over at VentureBeat. This is among the best lists we’ve encountered for navigating the emerging world of cloud computing.
