Agree with this article, Cloud Computing is very powerful but you need to have the right approach otherwise you risk spending a lot on infrastructure that may not suit your company.

Comment on Better than the Kyoto Accord by Chris Fulton

The “alternative supplier” totally misses the point. The KyotoCooling technology is a full solution not a “part”. It includes a full and highly sophisticated self adapting controls environment, full conventional cooling, a unique and specific heat wheel design from the world leaders in large wheel design with specific data center centric modifications. It is available in 90kw, 300kw, 600kw, 750kw and 850kw designs. It has a 3 year track record in production use and installs as a full solution are happening monthly. It’s definitely not just a heat wheel. It’s a data center cooling solution for those who don’t want to play at cooling. It’s in use in 3 continents now. Finally it’s worth a real look if a PUE of 1.15 is something you aspire to…

Cloud Computing makes perfect sense for Small Businesses who can’t afford IT staff, have no BCP/DRP or security plans.

Cloud computing in Australia looks to be gathering pace with Telstra announcing a $500m investment into cloud services. Good news for the industry!

one major issue that needs to be looked at is security. if this can be looked, cloud is a wonderful option.

I’ve reviewed the Wikipedia description. Personally I think that description is too generic and all-encompassing. For example, I really don’t hear about bittorrent and seti being lumped in the cloud computing camp. I prefer the refinements proposed by Berkeley and Tier1Research.

I think standards would be helpful. But I’m not sure if the standards should be driven by formal standard bodies or by the industry. I have little experience with the former. I believe that portability between clouds will be important. But it’s entirely possible a company like RightScale may eventually serve as a bridge between clouds — a cloud of clouds. In that case maybe a formal standard isn’t necessary as long as someone can virtualize clouds.
