Assessing the key reasons behind a multi-cloud strategy – Cloud Tech

Everyone who follows cloud computing agrees that we are starting to see more businesses utilise a multi-cloud strategy. The question this raises is: why is a multi-cloud strategy important from a functional standpoint, and why are enterprises deploying this strategy?

To answer this, lets define multi-cloud since it means different things to different people. I personally like this one, as seen on TechTarget:

the concomitant use of two or more cloud services to minimise the risk of widespread data loss or downtime due to a localised component failure in a cloud computing environment... a multi-cloud strategy can also improve overall enterprise performance by avoiding vendor lock-in and using different infrastructures to meet the needs of diverse partners and customers

From my conversations with some cloud gurus and our customers, a multi-cloud strategy boils down to:

Lets look at each one.

Looking at our own infrastructure at ParkMyCloud, we use AWS and other AWS services including RDS, Route 53, SNS and SES. In a risk mitigation exercise, would we look for those like services in Azure, and try to go through the technical work of mapping a 1:1 fit and building a hot failover in Azure? Or would we simply use a different AWS region which uses fewer resources and less time?

You dont actually need multi-cloud to do hot failovers, as you can instead use different regions within a single cloud provider. But thats betting on the fact that those regions wont go down simultaneously. In our case we would have major problems if multiple AWS regions went down simultaneously, but if that happens we certainly wont be the only one in that boat.

Furthermore, to do a hot failover from one cloud provider to another (say, between AWS and Google), would require a degree of working between the cloud providers and infrastructure and application integration that is not widely available today.

Ultimately, risk mitigationjust isnt the most significant driver for multi-cloud.

What happens when your cloud provider changes their pricing? Or your CIO says we will never be beholden to one IT infrastructure vendor, like Cisco on the network, or HP in the data centre? In that case, you lose your negotiating leverage on price and support.

On the other hand, look at Salesforce. How many enterprises use multiple CRMs?

Do you then have to design and build your applications to undertake a multi-cloud strategy from the get-go, so that transitioning everything to a different cloud provider will be a relatively simple undertaking? The complexity of moving your applications across clouds over a couple of months is nothing compared to the complexity of doing a real-time hot failover when your service is down. For enterprises this might be doable, given enough resources and time. Frankly, we dont see much of this.

Instead, I see customers using a multi-cloud strategy to design and build applications in the clouds best suited for optimising their applications. By the way you can then use this leverage to help prevent vendor lock-in.

Hot failovers may come to mind first when considering why you would want to go multi-cloud, but what about normal operations when your infrastructure is running smoothly? Having access to multiple cloud providers lets your engineers pick the one that is the most appropriate for the workload they want to deploy. By avoiding the all or nothing approach, IT leaders gain greater control over their different cloud services. They can pick and choose the product, service or platform that best fits their requirements, in terms of time-to-market or cost effectiveness - then integrate those services. Also, this approach may help in avoiding problems that arise when a single provider runs into trouble.

A multi-cloud strategy addresses several inter-related problems. Its not just a technical avenue for hot failover. It includes vendor relationship management and the ability optimise your workloads based on the strengths of your teams and that CSPs infrastructure.

By the way when you deploy your multi-cloud strategy, make sure you have a management plan in place upfront. Too often, I hear from companies who deploy on multiple clouds but dont have a way to see or compare them in one place. So, make sure you have a multi-cloud dashboard in place to provide visibility that spans across cloud providers, their locations and your resources, for proper governance and control. This will help you can get the most benefit out of a multi-cloud infrastructure.

Notes: Cloud Computing still in running for Travers

Saratoga Springs

Right after watching his Preakness winner Cloud Computing finish last in the Jim Dandy, the last thing trainer Chad Brown was thinking about was the Travers.

A spot in the $1.25 million Midsummer Derby is still no guarantee for Cloud Computing, but Brown is at least thinking about it.

"It's under consideration," Brown said outside his barn on the Oklahoma Training Track after watching Cloud Computing work four furlongs on the main track Saturday morning. "I haven't made up my mind yet. Initially, after his Jim Dandy race, I probably wouldn't go on after a poor effort like that."

After letting the race settle, Brown may be willing to forgive his horse for the Jim Dandy debacle. The track was deep that day, and Brown noted other horses struggled over it (Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming was third in the Jim Dandy).

Regular rider Javier Castellano was on board Cloud Computing for the work, which was clocked in 49.09 seconds.

"(Brown) wasn't looking for something timing-wise," Castellano said after the work. "He wanted a nice, comfortable work. He felt great. I just let him breeze in a nice, comfortable rhythm. He did it easy."

Brown was also happy with the work, saying the track was different on Saturday than it was two weeks ago when the Jim Dandy was run.

"He has trained well since," the Mechanicville trainer said. "He breezed terrific. We have to at least consider (the Travers)."

Other Travers works

Jim Dandy winner Good Samaritan worked four furlongs on Friday in 48.84 seconds and Girvin, winner of the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park, went four furlongs Saturday in 50.45. Both works came over the Oklahoma.

"His first work back," Good Samaritan's trainer Bill Mott said Saturday morning. "It was what it was supposed to be. He's feeling pretty good."

Trainer Joe Sharp was aboard the colt when he sent Girvin out to the Oklahoma at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, right after it opened.

Girvin finished 13th in the Kentucky Derby and was second behind Irap in the Grade III Ohio Derby in June.

"It's like he knows he is getting good and he's getting more confident in himself physically and mentally," Sharp said.

Sharp said Girvin will work again next week, probably in company, but it is yet to be decided whether the work will be on the Oklahoma or the main track.

Special race

The second of three graded stakes for 2-year-old colts will be run Sunday when nine juveniles contest the Grade II, $200,000 Saratoga Special at 61/2 furlongs.

Only two of the colts in the race have been in graded stakes. Copper Bullet, the 2-1 morning-line favorite, was second in the Grade III Bashford Manor at Churchill Downs on June 30, and the Todd Pletcher-trained Bal Harbour was fifth in the Grade II Sanford here on July 22.

Five of the colts entered in the race are jumping to a graded stake off a maiden win in their first start.

Included in that group is the Dale Romans-trained Hollywood Star, who won his debut at Churchill Downs by a half-length at six furlongs.

"What I learned in 2-year-old races is that you can't really handicap them," Romans said. "You don't really know the horses. This is a quality horse."

Hollywood Star, a son of Malibu Moon, went for $500,000 in the Keeneland September sale.

"He has trained better after that (first) race," Romans said. "I don't think he'll fool me. He has trained like a good one from day one."

Intel runs rule over new data centre storage design – Cloud Tech

It is not quite available yet but Intel has shed some light on its plans in the data centre storage space with the announcement of a new form factor which could enable up to one petabyte of storage in a 1U rack unit.

The new ruler form factor (above), named as such for self-evident reasons, shifts storage from the legacy 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch form factors that follow traditional hard disk drives and delivers on the promise of non-volatile storage technologies to eliminate constraints on shape and size, in Intels words. The company adds that the product will come to market in the near future.

1U rackmounts are predominantly 19 wide and 1.75 high, although the depth can vary from 17.7 to 21.5. As the numbers go up, the height essentially doubles, so a 5U mount can be 19.1 by 8.75 by 26.4, while 7U, the highest, is 17 by 12.2 by 19.8. To put one petabyte into perspective, it is enough storage to hold 300,000 HD movies.

Intel also had room for a couple more announcements. The company is targeting hard disk drive (HDD) replacement in the data centre with an updated SATA family of solid state disks (SSDs), aiming to reduce power and cooling as well as increase server efficiency, as well as announcing dual port Intel Optane SSDs and Intel 3D NAND SSDs, replacing SAS SSDs and HDDs. The former is available now with the latter coming in the third quarter of this year.

Bill Leszinske, Intel vice president, said the company was driving forward an era of major data centre transformation. These new ruler form factor SSDs and dual port SSDs are the latest in a long line of innovations weve brought to market to make storing and accessing data easier and faster, while delivering more value to customers, he said in a statement.

Data drives everything we do from financial decisions to virtual reality gaming, and from autonomous driving to machine learning and Intel storage innovations like these ensure incredible quick, reliable access to that data, Leszinske added.

According to a study from Intel and HyTrust released in April last year, two thirds of C-suite respondents said they expect increased adoption in the software defined data centre (SDDC) space.

5 Stocks to Cash In on Cloud Computing – Kiplinger Personal Finance

Youve no doubt heard about the awesome and ubiquitous power of the cloud. It seems straightforward. You take everything on your computer, upload it to the cloud, andpoof!you can access your data, photos or programs from anywhere. But what is the cloud? Where is it? Its all a bit, well, nebulous.

Simply put, the cloud is a metaphor for the internet. Cloud computing means a user can store and access data and programs on the web, rather than on a hard drive. Companies that offer these storage and retrieval services are called cloud providers, and they charge based on usage, much as a utility does.

For an individual, accessing the cloud might mean uploading your digital photos to, say, Amazon Drive, rather than saving them on your computer or accessing an online version of Microsoft Word. For businesses, the shift to the cloud represents a huge cost savings. Companies with a lot of digital information used to have to build their own technology infrastructure, including data centers with rows of high-powered servers and expensive cooling systems. Now companies can access cloud providers infrastructure over the internet and pay only for what they use, potentially cutting IT spending by 20% to 60%, says investment research firm Morningstar.

For investors, the cloud represents an enticing opportunity, with worldwide cloud spending expected to reach $383 billion by the end of 2020, up from $247 billion in 2017, according to estimates from tech research firm Gartner. The following five companies range from big-name cloud service providers and companies that supply the service providers to a promising but unproven upstart. Its not a comprehensive list, but each of the five companies named below is well-positioned, in its own way, to capitalize on the ongoing cloud revolution.

Global Cloud Computing Market in Education Sector to Grow at a CAGR of 26% by 2021: Key Vendors are Adobe … – PR Newswire (press release)

The global cloud computing market in education sector to grow at a CAGR of 26.13% during the period 2017-2021

Global Cloud Computing Market in Education Sector 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is increasing adoption of e-learning. E-learning has transformed the delivery of training and lectures in various schools and universities across the globe. The growing digitization and the mushrooming of startups offering MOOCs are expected to augment the demand for e-learning. This has created the need for faculties and teachers to use online platforms for uploading assignments, journals, notes, and tests. This, in turn, increases the need for safe and secure online platforms, thus augmenting the growth of cloud computing in education. E-learning systems include various components such as client server, database server, application server, and necessary hardware connected within a network. Cloud computing ensures the connections of these devices on the network. The technology provides access to three key requirements of implementing online learning, which include services, platforms, and infrastructure.

Amazon Web Services chooses its Kubernetes path, joins Cloud … – GeekWire

Just weeks after Microsoft signaled its support for a key cloud computing industry foundation, Amazon Web Services has followed suit, joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation as a platinum member.

The move to join the CNCF at the highest level resolves some questions about AWS and Kubernetes, the open-source container orchestration product originally developed at Google that is quickly becoming a de-facto standard for managing containerized software development environments. The CNCF manages the Kubernetes project, and as part of joining the CNCF, AWS commits to spending time and money helping to build out that project as well as several smaller projects that make Kubernetes easier to use.

Adrian Cockcroft, vice president of cloud architecture strategy at AWS, will join the governing board of the CNCF. The CNCF is a less formal standards body compared to other efforts throughout history, but it is playing a key role in advancing projects like Kubernetes and cloud computing in general.

Just a few weeks ago, it wasnt clear whether or not AWS was interesting in committing to a common standard for container orchestration. Kubernetes runs on AWS, of course, but allowing something to run on your service is quite different from actively supporting it, especially if youre trying to convince customers to adopt your own container orchestration product.

Amazon has been pushing its own container orchestration product, Amazon EC2 Container Service, but there has been growing concern among a lot of cloud computing users and companies that AWS is only interested in products and services that entice customers to spend all their time and money inside AWS. Kubernetes makes it easier for cloud computing users to spread their workloads across multiple cloud providers as well as their own on-premises servers, and the support of AWS should alleviate a few (but certainly not all) of those concerns.

Weve seen several signs of late that AWS was warming to Kubernetes, most recently via a report that the company was exploring the idea of developed a container-orchestration product on top of Kubernetes. Wednesdays announcement makes that easier, and the backing of AWS means that anyone thinking about betting on Kubernetes can now rest assured that all major cloud providers are on board.

AWS joins the Cloud Native Computing Foundation | TechCrunch – TechCrunch

Rumor has it that Amazons AWS cloud computing platform will soon launch its own Kubernetes-based container management service. Those rumors are getting a bit more concrete because AWS today joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF), the open source home of the Kubernetes project, as a top-level Platinum member. With this, all of the major public cloud providers, including Microsoft, Google and IBM, are now part of this Linux Foundation-based group, which aims to bring modern cloud management techniques to the masses.

Amazon already hosts the vast majority of Kubernetes deployments, according to a recent survey, so it shouldnt come as a surprise that Amazon is joining the foundation that, to a large degree, is steering this project. Its worth noting, though, that AWS makes use of plenty of open source projects, and also regularly releases its own projects on GitHub.The company also has been a Linux Foundation member since 2013 and is a founding member of the Core Infrastructure Initiative. Unlike all of its main competitors, it isnt a member of the Cloud Foundry foundation, though.

As for the CNCF, Amazon has been contributing to containerd, the groups container runtime. AWS plans to take an active role in the cloud native community, contributing to Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies such as containerd, CNI, and linkerd, the CNCF notes in todays announcement. Adrian Cockcroft, the VP of Cloud Architecture Strategy at AWS, will join CNCFs board.

In his announcement, Cockcroft did not talk about what Amazons short-term plans for Kubernetes are, but given the wide-spread support for the platform which is giving Google and Microsoft an opening in competing with AWS on this quickly expanding field I would be surprised if we didnt see increased direct support for Kubernetes on AWS (you can, of course, already use it on AWS, but only with the help of tools from third-party vendors).

Global Bus Switch IC Market 2017-2021 – Growing Demand for Cloud Computing and IoT – PR Newswire (press release)

The global bus switch IC market to grow at a CAGR of 4.20% during the period 2017-2021

Global Bus Switch IC Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. To calculate the market size, the report considers shipments, sales, volume, and value.

According to the report, one driver in the market is growing demand for cloud computing and IoT. The global IoT market is being amplified by the increasing rates of globalization and urbanization in all regions. A surprising number of users across the world today have access to multiple branches of IT, data sharing and storage methods, cloud computing solutions, and communication portals. Within the next three years, it is expected that more than 80% of all data center traffic will be cloud based. Also, most of this action will be going to public cloud services; there will be more workloads (nearly 54%) in the public cloud than in private clouds (46%).

One trend in the market is growing use of high-speed gigabit Ethernet. Gigabit Internet is known as the next generation of broadband Internet service, and it is delivered over fiber optic lines and provides speeds of nearly 1,000 Mbps, which is also referred to as 1 Gbps or gigabit Internet.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is rapid technological changes. The fast developments in wafer processing is a major challenge for the vendors of bus switch ICs. The miniaturization of nodes, the increase in wafer sizes, and the increasing applications of the ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) fabrication technology are steadily becoming visible in the global semiconductor industry. These factors are prompting the manufacturers of semiconductors to focus on developing and adopting new technologies, particularly in packaging solutions.
