The DMTF announce the incubator for Cloud Computing. See the complete information here. The charter can be found here. Sun is one
of the parties in this group.

This is interesting indeed. The DMTF has the following time line in mind for their efforts:

The Cloud incubator is expected to complete within 1 year from approval of the charter by the board.

OCCI has a similar approach and tries to deliver in the same time frame. Hope to see some work overlap and collaboration!

Update: Mark also has a nice entry about it.

News from the Cloud

VmWare releases the first Cloud Computing Operating System: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/index.html

The Eucalyptus project seems to have gone commercial: http://www.undertheradarblog.com/blog/eucalyptus-presents-at-under-the-radar-2009/

What we learn from all this: Cloud Computing is stil a hype and everybody uses his own definition of a Cloud. Kind of funny, but currently a very intersting field to work in!

Akamai on Cloud Computing

April 22nd, 2009 • Comments Off on Akamai on Cloud Computing

Some nice videos about Cloud Computing and how it could reduce global warning. This is the point of view from Akamai so not necessary mine. I do not think that they use a proper definition of Cloud Computing.

Also some videos are a little bit to much like a commercial. Anyhow some ideas and facts are nice to read.
