All Clouds are not Equal
.
Some time ago, we’d written about David Chappell’s talk on Windows Azure, and why it was different. I’d also mentioned that I’d share the slide deck once I got it from David. Here it is.
(the ppt is cued to slide 27 which is where the fun stuff begins – the comparisons with other platforms. As we said earlier, the ‘neutrality’ with which this was presented was refreshing)

Lyrics of da rap intro to da Cloud
.
We had a couple (two, to be honest) of requests for the lyrics of our Cloud Cloud Maybe video. If you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
8,670 people can’t be wrong. That’s how many views its got on YouTube alone.
The lyrics? Here goes…
CLOUD CLOUD MAYBE
Yo ISP! Let’s vaporize it
Cloud cloud maybe (x2)
All right stop. Virtualize and listen
This cloud is hot – infrastructure invention
This trend is grabbin’ hold of us tightly
We’re blogging and debating daily and nightly
Is it really hot? Yo, I don’t know

Vembu Home is now in Public Beta
Vembu Home is now available to all. No more invitation codes.
The response from users during the short Private Beta period (we launched on October 8th) has been awesome. The hybrid approach taken by Vembu Home to provide the ability to backup both to local machines as well as online to the Amazon Cloud, has been singled out for the most praise by users who sent us their feedback.
We are now more pumped up and are working longer hours to add more useful features to Vembu Home. Please do send us your feedback and feature requests. Your input will … Read the rest

A bold initiative from Microsoft Azure
Last week, I attended a Microsoft Azure event in Bangalore.
When I received the invitation to the event, I was surprised to see that Microsoft had arranged for a non Microsoft person, David Chappell, to speak at the event. I’d have thought that they would have arranged for someone from the Azure product team.
Now, David’s a well known speaker, and he’s really good at keeping things simple. And, he certainly helped make the event interesting.
But there was a larger reason behind getting someone from outside of Microsoft…
Neutrality!
More often than not, vendors ‘pretend’ to be neutral … Read the rest

Where does Vembu Home fit…in the grand scheme of things?
We’ve been in business since 2004. Our Service Provider Edition has been available since early 2006.
Our flagship product, StoreGrid runs on over 100,000 computers, and is ‘under the hood’ of about 1,500 service providers across the globe.
StoreGrid is also ‘under the hood’ of our new Vembu Home service.
So, why are we launching our own service?
Are we (shudder) planning on competing with our own service providers? Are we changing our business model?
No, and no.
Hopefully, the following points will place things in perspective…
- We’ve been squarely focused on ‘business backups’ so far. This focus will continue

Vembu Home is ready to save (backup) the world
After over a year of work (on top of the existing StoreGrid engine), Vembu Home is finally ready.
We took all the time we needed as we wanted Vembu Home to be unlike anything you’ve seen. And we (obviously) think, it is unlike any backup software you’ve seen- and will see for some time, at least.
The obvious question first. Why is Vembu Home different?
a) It’s iPhone inspired user interface is light years ahead of anything else. With its fluidity and intuitiveness, people may actually start enjoying backing up.
b) It is the first and only consumer backup solution … Read the rest

I Feel Good
Why? Three reasons
Reason 1:
TechCrunch just reported that Google was experimenting with new minimalist designs. It feels good to say we saw this coming and said so in an earlier post on why Google will kill the I’m feeling lucky button. Like we said, it’s all about the money, honey.
Reason 2:
We (finally) got StoreGrid v3.0 out of the gates. It’s a real beast! Take it for a spin if you haven’t done so already.
Reason 3:
We’re this close to announcing “Vembu Home”. Its iPhone inspired UI is miles ahead of anything you’ve seen (talking of … Read the rest
