Posted In: Cloud Myths Series, Uncategorized

Everywhere I look, I see clouds and virtualization mentioned together. They seem to be the peanut butter and jelly of the technology world. Certainly, clouds and virtualization taste good together, but surely we can separate them, right? Can you build a cloud without virtualization? Does peanut butter taste good without jelly?

My morning coffee reading today was Josh Stephens’s “Top five virtualization problems: Building a private cloud” over at TechTarget SearchNetworking.

The article starts off well enough, but runs aground when it gets to what should be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Cloud Myth #1: “Their stuff is more risky than our stuff”

My morning coffee read today was Paul Venezia’s “The cloud hazard no one talks about,” at InfoWorld (hat tip to David Linthicum’s Twitter feed: @DavidLinthicum). Paul’s article makes the case that while “the cloud” (whatever that is) is great for getting rid of capital equipment, it ends up spreading around all your data, which means […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
