This week, John and I hit up a lot of private cloud talk but go over some big “traditional” IT Management news as well. We discuss:
- John’s TechTarget piece on Pulse 09
- I put the Pulse 09 videos in the IT Management Feed – here and here. Did that freak anyone out? More of this or less?
- We discuss the open source pieces Coté wrote – part 1 and part 2. John also points to SolarWinds and ManageEngine. How much more does SolarWinds make than Zenoss, Hyperic, etc.? Here’s an old SolarWindows number: $61.7 million from 2007.
- Microsoft Virtualization partnering with RedHat – James has the IP-angle on this as well.
- CohesiveFT VPN-Cube – beta with Amazon EC2 use, you could have a private network in EC2.
- HP paycuts – can John re-explain what The Finance Abyss problem is again? I think I’ve forgotten. John has no good answer, but maybe this funny presentation helps.
- New features in Amazon SimpleDB.
- 3Tera having 350-400 customers – how does their private cloud stuff stack up against the ITIL-light stuff we saw from IBM and other enterprise cloud people?
- Is this “enterprise cloud” stuff just replacing the meat-cloud in the enterprise. Here, the meat-cloud used to back RBAs and service catalogs – maybe automation. Coté tries to wedge in the Lotus Open Collaborative Platform and the Lotus in a virtual box for SMB stuff.
Disclosure: IBM is a client, as are RedHat, Microsoft,
