It's the Agility, Stupid!
With the promise of cloud computing splashed across every headline today, it's easy to lose track of where its greatest opportunities lie. Yes, saving money is important. It can help nudge the dreaded 80/20 maintenance-to-innovation ratio in the right direction. But when you're thinking about the cloud, don't stop there. It's agility that can drive business growth and innovation, turning IT leaders into heroes.

The demise of the operating system. Film at 11.
A couple of weeks ago a colleague mused whether "hardware will become the roadkill of cloud computing" and came to the following conclusion:
"...Successful cloud service providers must offer state-of-the-art cloud-based services. And that requires state-of-the-art hardware, virtualization and security-processing technologies to handle the demands of increasingly intelligent workloads."
And I agree. Except that he totally missed one key component, an absolute necessity to deliver a cloud story, a datacenter, or any sort of computing for that matter. Can you tell what that is?

Guest Blog: SUSE Linux Enterprise & Amazon: Helping the cloud make cents (and dollars)
by Kevin Foster, Solution Marketing Manager
Every time you turnaround, someone is talking about "the cloud" and its power. Analyst firms are forecasting billions of dollars being spent on cloud computing and pundits are predicting the cloud will redefine the current standards for computing. But do most people really know what any of that means? More importantly, do they know specifically how to maximize the cloud for profit.

2011 - IT Transforms and Becomes One with Business or "To the Cloud"
No more IT and Business - 2011 IT powers the Business!
Start of a new year and just 2 weeks into what will be the year of The Cloud and service providers and I am already tiring of To The Cloud. I would say I'm adding a 5th prediction to my previous post, however, if you keep up with IT Management news, the topic of this also being a year of IT Transformation is pervasive. As with most things IT, we require some marketing and a clever IT rally cry for the year. I'll have to think on that one and come up with something clever. Read on for a quick snapshot of the year of IT transformation discussion.

Accidental Cloud Leader - Stealth Cloud Followers - Which Cloud is your IT On?
Are you leading your organizations cloud roll-out or are you reacting to it? It is happening, better to lead than follow!
The WorkloadIQ post and the article Richard references on the Stealth Cloud from a CIO article reminds me of a previous artilce about the Accidental Cloud Leader from a Networkworld article. Both of these articles point to the cloud is coming, the choice facing IT organizations is whether to lead, control costs, mitigate risk, deliver quality service and manage costs or to follow with rising costs, reactive IT, high risk and poor service quality. Richard hits the nail on the head, IT is traditionally change averse and insecure with the concept of outsourcing services. Technology is evolving faster and faster and the very organization that should adopt, deploy and lead with technology continues to lag.
