Virtual Bridges partners with IBM and Canonical for Microsoft-free “Desktops in the Cloud” This groundbreaking partnership combines the most popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu, with the IBM suite of enterprise-class applications and services, including Symphony, Sametime and Notes, together with Virtual Bridges’ end-to-end, top-to-bottom pure Linux-based VDI offering, VERDE (Virtual Enterprise Remote Desktop Environment).
Lesser Privacy Protection Under the Law To search your house or office (including documents stored on your computer's hard drive), cops need to obtain a search warrant. To get to the information you've stored on a third-party's web servers, they only need a subpoena, which is easier to obtain. This kind of search can also happen without your knowledge.
It’s clear Google and Amazon wouldn’t be where they are today without the use of open source software,” said Stevens. The Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. success stories were also echoed by Aslett, who said both public cloud platforms benefited from low cost licencing and flexibility, as well as the ability to empower their developers. “For Google, it’s about ability to make changes to their operating system without having to ask anybody’s permission or pay for client licence fees,” he said, adding that development times are also speed up in the process.
"They're doing a variety of things, but a lot of them are basically interested in Eucalyptus for doing the same kinds of things they're doing in Amazon AWS, such as business logic applications, where part of the attraction of Eucalyptus is that they can use it as a platform for seamlessly running their public cloud applications and their on-premise cloud apps."
DiscCloud demonstrates Virtual Mac "Desktop in the Cloud" running concurrent Flash, Quicktime, iTunes, Youtube, Keynote and Pages, and Safari applications. The realtime performance demo took place over an Internet connection spanning 800 miles, and 16 hops, accessed by an 8 year old iMac (PowerPC) with 512MB RAM.. See the live video on DiscCloud!

ordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
In den USA ist Big Blue mit einer Reihe neuer Appliances an den Start gegangen. Sie kombinieren IBM-Hardware mit einem Betriebssystem (IBM i 6.1 oder Suse Linux 10 SP2), einer Software-Grundausstattung sowie mit Anwendungen für spezielle Einsatzzwecke.
Canonical is preparing to launch Ubuntu One, a new Web service that will offer cloud synchronization and collaboration features. Ars gives you a detailed hands-on look at the service and some of the underlying technology.
The role of Linux in cloud computing is becoming more clear as the technology advances. The open source platform beats its rivals in cost, and is an undisputed leader. Efforts from the Distributed Management Task Force, and the Linux Foundation and others are working to establish interoperability in the cloud arena.
Following up on KMeans Clustering Now Running on Elastic MapReduce, Stephen Green has generously documented the steps that was necessary to get an example of k-Means clustering up and running on Amazon’s Elastic MapReduce (EMR) on the Apache Lucene Mahout wiki.
Cloud computing is a hot topic in the technology world these days. Even if you're not a tech-phile, chances are if you've watched a lot of television or skimmed a business magazine, you've heard someone talking about cloud computing as the way of the future. While it's difficult to predict the future, a new cloud computing infrastructure is demonstrating that cloud computing's potential is being realized now.
Als Marktführer bei den x86-Servern setzt auch HP auf das Thema Cloud Computing und schnürt dafür ein spezielles Offerten-Bündel aus Geräten, Software und Dienstleistungen.

Several years ago, a new buzzword entered the fray of internet speak: The Cloud. In the past, I've written critically about cloud computing, and my reservations
The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing, including:
* Hadoop Core, our flagship sub-project, provides a distributed filesystem (HDFS) and support for the MapReduce distributed computing framework.
* HBase builds on Hadoop Core to provide a scalable, distributed database.
* Pig is a high-level data-flow language and execution framework for parallel computation. It is built on top of Hadoop Core.
* ZooKeeper is a highly available and reliable coordination system. Distributed applications use ZooKeeper to store and mediate updates for critical shared state.
* Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure built on Hadoop Core that provides data summarization, adhoc querying and analysis of datasets.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce is a web service that enables businesses, researchers, data analysts, and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. It utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
Using Amazon Elastic MapReduce, you can instantly provision as much or as little capacity as you like to perform data-intensive tasks for applications such as web indexing, data mining, log file analysis, machine learning, financial analysis, scientific simulation, and bioinformatics research. Amazon Elastic MapReduce lets you focus on crunching or analyzing your data without having to worry about time-consuming set-up, management or tuning of Hadoop clusters or the compute capacity upon which they sit.
Talis Connected Commons The Talis Connected Commons scheme is intended to directly support the publishing and reuse of Linked Data in the public domain by removing the costs associated with those activities. The scheme is intended to support a wide range of different forms of data publishing. For example scientific researchers seeking to share their research data
It is from this operational asymmetry that complexity in event processing is required. In other words, as distributed networks grow in complexity, it is difficult to determine causal dependence when trying to diagnosis a distributed networked system. Most who work in a large distributed network ecosystem (cyberspace) understand this. The CEP notion of “the event cloud” was an attempt to express this complexity and uncertainly (in cyberspace).
