Hey, Doesn't that Cloud Look Like a....

2010, so far, has been an exciting year. New “killer apps” such as Android and VMware (although not new , it has expanded to epic proportions) have gotten our attention with a vengeance. Cloud Computing, no matter what your feelings about it has become a household word. What’s that you say? Cloud Computing is nothing more than a reinvention of the “Data Center”. Well partly true, but it is much more than that. The underlying technology –Virtualization - can change the way small and medium companies do business – not to mention the “green” produced by large companies and Government agencies. My sponsor, Maranatha & Associates, Inc., has shown me that it can be used internally to enhance the efficiency of the business infrastructure and significantly lower the total cost of ownership. Isn’t that a primary activity in a successful business…? Do more with less? VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix seem to think so. They have built products that permit the SMB to be more productive and expand into the market by adding their own Open Source Products into an integrated solution, such as MAI’s MOSIS Systems Integration Solution. If you want to learn more about what the industry thinks, watch the video below of Paul Maritz, VMware President and Chief Executive Officer.



Okay, I’m interested; I am going to VMWorld 2010 and check this out stay tuned because I will be blogging daily… STAY TUNED!
