A ‘Healthy’ Adoption of Cloud based Social Networks

My friend once told me about this doctor he knew.  Back in the 1980s, this doc noticed that many of his patients could do with some advice on easily preventable ailments – which typically cost them a lost day of work at the farm and a visit to the doctor.   He compiled a list of rural visitors to his clinic over the years and started mailing them inexpensive postcards with printed health messages aimed at preventing them ever having to visit him (in effect).  The audacity of this plan was matched only by its simplicity and his practice flourished with … Read the rest

New! StoreGrid supports backing up to Amazon QC2 – Quantum Computing Cloud

Quantum EntanglementWe at Vembu Labs have been working closely with the latest breakthroughs in storage and computing technology to keep StoreGrid ahead of the tech curve.  For instance, we were among the earliest to adopt Amazon EC2/S3 services for data backups – as soon as Amazon removed the Beta tag on the Amazon Cloud!

Vembu StoreGrid and Amazon Web Services have been working closely on a new technology – and the time is right for us to talk about StoreGrid’s support to Amazon’s QC2 service (Quantum Computing Cloud).  This ground breaking solution makes use of qubits (or quantum bits) for manipulating … Read the rest

SMB’s reaction to Cloud – a Pro/Con Analysis

SMBs reaction to the cloud

Why many SMBs are reluctant to Cloud?

“Cloud Computing” – a buzz word that’s on the peak of Hype Cycle for quite some time now is still a ‘jargon’ to many SMBs and Mid Market Companies. It was interesting to see the results of the ‘cloud hosting awareness survey’ conducted by RackSpace that more than two thirds of the SMBs in US are not familiar with the term “Cloud Hosting” – Wow!

Now, two questions immediately arise in our mind. Is that the Small Businesses failed to grasp the cloud computing technology or the Cloud hosting providers done … Read the rest

The Cloud: Substance wins over Form

The Cloud has garnered quite a bit of media storm since its advent with big names like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Sun throwing in their hats in the ring.   Not to mention the controversy kicked up by McKinsey’s uncharitable comments on the Cloud.

We have always believed that the Cloud would be a valuable addition to an MSP’s arsenal – and we went about supporting Amazon Cloud services precisely because of that.  This enabled our partners to either operate their entire backup service out of Amazon’s EC2/S3 services or simply leverage S3 storage service for the offsite replication.  And we … Read the rest

Amazon gets calculative

.

Two days ago,  Amazon announced Amazon Web Services (AWS) calculator on their blog. I can see this becoming quite useful, and am, in fact, surprised that they didn’t do this earlier.

You can access the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator here. The calculator, currently in Beta, allows you to get an idea of the kind of costs you can expect for different services that you might use. They’ve even had a stab at typical figures you might be seeing for some ‘typical use cases’.
