By the end of the summer the cloud is going to be everywhere, predicts Good Data CEO & industry veteran Roman Stanek.
"What is happening to computing today is a revolution, the biggest discontinuity I've experienced in the last twenty years of my career..." said keynote speaker Roman Stanek last month in Prague, the Czech Republic, as he gave the opening keynote at Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009.

By the end of the summer the cloud is going to be everywhere, Stanek predicted. "It's going to be very disruptive and we still don't know what's ahead of us."

So everything is going to be about Cloud. But is cloud computing enabling the construction of a completely new technology stack, or is it just moving the existing technology stack into the cloud?
"I believe it is a new technology stack. I see a level of innovation in the cloud that I haven't see for a long time," said Stanek.
He looked next at why businesses are choosing to move to the cloud, and what it means in terms of security and control? Compared to what we have today, in security terms, it's comparable, Stanek contends, noting that 1,200 notebooks are lost or stolen at Los Angeles airport in just a week....and 65% of notebooks do not have any kind of data protection in place.
Plenty of companies are beginning to provide control of the Cloud, Stanek noted, making it a safe place for SMBs to store their data - although of course appropriate Cloud providers need choosing with care.
Cloud computing, in short, is an Enterprise IT game changer. Technology and innovation now matter again.

By Pat Romanski 2011 was a year of rapid adoption for public and private cloud services. Instant and on-demand server provisioning was the driving force behind the massive growth. On top, cloud server templates and script automation simplified application installation for simple and pre-defined application stacks, but have not targeted more complex enterprise application environments.

By Liz McMillan Building a cloud computing environment with on-demand access to compute, network, and storage resources requires an elastic infrastructure at multiple levels. Virtualization combined with x86 servers has transformed the way we scale out compute resources. Unfortunately, legacy Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage architectures are rooted in rigid mainframe-era designs, and are fundamentally mismatched with the dynamic, shared modern data center.

Let's face it right now the cloud is pretty immature. The level of automation and management of these environments are analogous to the early assembly lines, but it won't be this way long.
