CIO.com's Bernard Golden discusses what the takeaways from these announcements are for cloud CIOs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Last week I wrote about how CIOs should go about rolling out cloud computing initiatives. In the piece, my conclusion was headed "An Unusually Fast Platform Shift"; I noted that the pace of innovation and adoption regarding cloud computing far outstrips any previous platform shift. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This week, two announcements reinforced that perspective. Both of them are critical for CIOs going forward with cloud computing plans and, though not much commentary has linked them, I believe they are complementary and reflect how profoundly cloud computing will change the nature of corporate IT in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The first announcement was Facebook's announcement of its Open Compute Project. Facebook set out two years ago to rethink data center design, custom creating an integrated facility that uses bespoke hardware, external air, no air conditioning, innovative floor design, and more, to provide a much less expensive approach to operating a data center. For details on Facebook's own data center that implements this design, see James Hamilton's excellent writeup here. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The second announcement was VMware's (VMW) announcement of its CloudFoundry project, which provides a open source-licensed, generalized Platform-as-a-Service framework. VMware has purchased a number of open source software companies, whose products are included in the CloudFoundry framework. CloudFoundry goes well beyond an integrated product suite and provides a programming framework to allow developers to create elastic, scalable applications without needing to trouble themselves with the details of coordinating individual compute resources like virtual machines, databases, etc. Moreover, VMware is providing a hosted version of CloudFoundry for developers to use. Finally, CloudFoundry is cloud-agnostic, supporting the deployment of CloudFoundry-based applications to a variety of cloud providers, including ones that are not VMware software based (as well as internal private clouds located on-premise within companies). For more info on CloudFoundry, here is a video interview of Tod Nielsen of VMware, by Robert Scoble (@scobleizer) of Rackspace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Each announcement is important in its own right, but, taken together, they provide a vision of what the future of computing will look like. Let's drill down on each one to understand the implications.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;First, Open Compute presents a new benchmark for operating a data center, and, unlike, say, Google (GOOG) and Microsoft, who also have implemented extremely efficient data centers but have kept the details proprietary, Facebook has chosen to share its design. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Essentially, Facebook has rethought every element of a data center in order to make the overall aggregation of components and operations as efficient as possible. In announcing the project, Facebook noted that its data center implementing the Open Compute design uses 38% less energy to do the same amount of work as an older data center, while costing 24% less. As already noted, the data center uses no air conditioning; this is because it s sited in Oregon, where outside air temperatures obviate the need for cooling. Additional measures include using a specialized energy distribution system, custom-designing servers that have no unnecessary components, and eliminating a central UPS. By treating its data center as an integrated aggregation, rather than an assembled collection of standardized components, Facebook has made the integrated whole far more efficient. Its announcement stated that the data center operates at a 1.07 PUE, significantly better than its previous 1.5 PUE.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Facebook's announcement reinforces our perspective that the nature of IT operations is going to change: IT will increasingly be a service provider, but not necessarily an asset owner. How can one justify owning and operating a data center unless it achieves the kind of efficiency now possible? The coming role for infrastructure operations will be selecting among physical infrastructure providers and implementing operational oversight and monitoring. There will undoubtedly be many challenges in pursuing this strategy, including security, bandwidth sufficiency, and SLA monitoring; however, failing to pursue a low-cost infrastructure strategy is inappropriate when options are available.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Turning to CloudFoundry, it comes at an interesting time for software efforts within IT organizations as they seek to adopt cloud computing. While there has been significant use of Amazon Web Services (AMZN) and other cloud providers, much of what has been implemented is what we refer to as "Hosting 2.0." By this we mean the developers are using virtual machines within the cloud infrastructure, but designing and implementing applications the same way as when physical machines provided the computing environment. Specifically, this means that the applications are installed as though they will run in a persistent virtual machine, with any configuration or application topology changes implemented manually, and with no redundancy to protect availability in the event of resource failure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The problem is, all the assumptions that underlie that approach are inappropriate in a cloud computing environment. To achieve the agility and elasticity that cloud computing promises, applications must be designed and operated differently. Our conclusion, though, is that many, many software engineers will struggle acquiring the skills needed to develop these type of applications.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Consequently, I have begun to conclude that for many organizations, a PaaS software infrastructure will be critical to enable "true" cloud application development. Furthermore, that PaaS infrastructure has to support the languages and application design patterns that developers know and are comfortable with. Only with a framework that abstracts the details of achieving scalable elasticity, automatic database replication, integration with other platform services, and so on, will many organizations be able to obtain the promise of cloud computing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is why the CloudFoundry initiative looks so promising. It supports "traditional" Java development as well as later-generation Ruby, et al languages. It envisions easy access to platform services like queues and so on. And it promises to help organizations avoid lock-in by enabling transparent deployment to any number of public clouds as well as internal clouds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This appears to me to be an exactly on-target approach to what is required: Specialized software engineers take care of the complicated plumbing bits, while mainstream application developers focus on solving business problems, secure in the knowledge that what they develop will automatically obtain the benefits promised by cloud computing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Of course, it's early yet. Much of the initial commentary has evaluated this initiative as a threat to Amazon or other cloud providers. The "who wins, who loses" approach is tempting, but, really, in such a rapidly growing field, CSPs should be focused on how to ease adoption, not who is top dog, which means they'll welcome anything that reduces barriers to use. In any case, CSPs make money by selling computing service, and anything that eases consumption is a positive for them. A more telling question is to what extent CloudFoundry will build a community and ecosystem surrounding the technology offering. And beyond the typical issues of community building, one would think two critical constituencies will have questions about their potential involvement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For CSPs, more telling than which PaaS is the more powerful is likely to be a potential reluctance to commit to an offering from a vendor who is a key supplier to a competitor. This will probably be even more true for non-VMware based CSPs. There could be a natural concern that information shared during a discussion about business strategy with the CloudFoundry team might find its way to the ears of the unit that supplies software to other CSPs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For end user organizations, a natural concern would be the depth of commitment by VMware to CloudFoundry. The software product landscape is littered with the abandoned open source initiatives of vendors, who launched an open source product with great fanfare and then lost enthusiasm once they realized how long it takes and how much work is required to build a vibrant community. This abandonment isn't the result of lack of desire on the part of the vendors upon initial launch; it just reflects the fact that later, when it comes time to invest in the product's growth, higher priority items displace the money or headcount required for the open source initiative, and one day it becomes evident that the product has grown stale and the community has petered out. Obviously, an end user is going to evaluate the prospects for an open source product's longevity very carefully before jumping on board.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These reservations are not to criticize the CloudFoundry initiative itself. I hope I ve made clear how important and necessary such an offering is. The fact that a proprietary software vendor has had to step up to make this happen reflects, in my view, the paucity of imagination on the part of the venture capital community. The need for high-productivity, application development streamlining is obvious — why wasn't CloudFoundry or an equivalent initiative funded as a startup?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For a cloud CIO, the takeaways from these announcements are the following:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1. Evaluate your cloud infrastructure plans very carefully in light of the accelerated innovation in the data center design domain. Sticking a cloud infrastructure into an cost-uncompetitive data center (and that includes operational inefficiency as well as kit inefficiency) consigns you to a high-cost provider position, not a comfortable place to be in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2. Accelerate your plans to move to cloud computing. A two-year plan to stand up a dev/test cloud is just too long a timeframe. It risks solving yesterday's problems and being bypassed by tomorrow's solution.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3. Consider where to invest your staff skill development dollars. If an external company can operate a high-efficiency PaaS that your applications can use, perhaps you would be better served by leveraging that and directing your staff training and recruitment toward applications, skilling up on people who can place business logic on top of the PaaS infrastructure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4. Ruthlessly standardize offerings. I made this recommendation last week and make it again even more strongly in the light of these new developments. "Have it your way" is a great restaurant jingle, but it's hopelessly expensive in IT.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;5. Consider using differential pricing to guide business unit behavior. Many business units will insist on "having it their way," and in the absence of any reason not to, will expect IT to deliver custom configurations, etc. Offering the standard configuration at one price and the custom configuration at, say, 3X the standard price sends a price signal and allows the BU to evaluate how important the custom configuration is (hint: at a higher price, it may not be nearly as important).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is, perhaps, the most interesting time in IT since the rise of the PC. Certainly the democratization and explosion of applications enabled by cloud computing resembles that heady period, when it seemed like new developments sprang forth daily. It's fantastic to see companies like Facebook and VMware contribute to this innovation and provides anticipation for new developments that are on the horizon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bernard Golden is CEO of consulting firm HyperStratus, which specializes in virtualization, cloud computing and related issues.

Antes de se unir à AWS, ele foi pesquisador da Universidade de Cornell, com foco em escalabilidade e robustez de sistemas computacionais de missão crítica. Em entrevista exclusiva ao Convergência Digital, o executivo falou de sua visão de nuvem e as dúvidas do mercado em relação à sua utilização. Acompanhe:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital – A nuvem é realmente mais barata que uma estrutura interna?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Werner Voguels – Sob a perspectiva da Amazon Web Services, ainda não encontramos um cliente que não ajudamos a economizar. Geralmente ouvimos em nossas conversas que as empresas realmente boas têm uma média de utilização de suas estruturas de 20% a 30%, e estas são as boas. Muitas não são tão fortes. A nuvem nos permite a ter muitas vezes essa taxa de utilização.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Além disso, somos capazes de agregar centenas de milhares de clientes, com os mais variáveis usos e de geografias diversas, o que garante uma alta utilização da infraestrutura. E utilizar bem a infraestrutura é um direcionador econômico chave, porque se você tem uma alta utilização, você pode comprar menos servidores para atender à mesma carga, o que alguém com baixa utilização vai fazer com muita mais equipamentos. É importante lembrar que há custos ocultos que vão além do hardware e que são quase sempre esquecidos quando as empresas os avaliam, como estar atualizado com o design do data center, negociação de contratos, lidar com software legado, operar o data center, mover equipamentos, escalar e gerenciar crescimento físico são apenas alguns dos custos que a nuvem remove.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Por outro lado, vale a pena avaliar a história e o patrimônio da Amazon. Alto volume e negócios com margens baixas estão em nosso DNA. Trabalhamos para baixar custos e podemos levar isso para nossos clientes. Hoje, nossos preços são dezenas de vezes mais baixos do que quando começamos a operar, há cinco anos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mas o mais importante, a principal razão que ouvimos de empresas que estão se movendo para a nuvem é a habilidade de focar em inovação. Quando as empresas se concentram em infraestrutura, muitas vezes isso ocorre à custa da inovação, porque as mentes estão sendo utilizadas em outro lugar. Não se trata apenas de reduzir custos, mas de realocar recursos para ampliar a inovação. Isso é algo no qual a AWS acredita e que representa a importância da computação em nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CD – Então uma empresa que quer começar a usar a nuvem, deve começar por onde?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;WV – A primeira coisa que eu digo aos nossos clientes é que não se trata de um tudo ou nada. Startups geralmente usam a nuvem para tudo porque elas não têm que lidar com sistemas legados e a proposição de valor, nestes casos, é grande. Quanto maiores as empresas, costumamos ver uma prova de conceito da nuvem. Ela permite que estas empresas entendam o que é rodar na nuvem e na AWS. Quando as corporações veem como os serviços desempenham bem operacionalmente, os benefícios de custo, com que rapidez elas podem provisionar hardware e os benefícios de não ter que gerenciar e escalar a infraestrutura, elas começam a tentar descobrir como usar mais e, muitas vezes, desenvolvem planos de migração de 12 a 24 meses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Nós acreditamos que adotar uma abordagem incremental para a nuvem permite a estas grandes empresas molhar os pés, identificando determinadas aplicações para colocar na nuvem. É um primeiro passo sólido. Então quando estas empresas estiverem prontas para mover mais aplicativos, nós recomendamos permitir que diferentes áreas de negócios migrem em sua própria velocidade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CD – Para onde vão os dados que estão na nuvem da AWS?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;WV – Esta é uma questão comum. É importante lembrar que na AWS os clientes são donos de seus dados e tem controle total sobre eles. Quando uma empresa decide usar a AWS, ela escolhe em que região ela quer armazenar seus dados, e pode movê-los de lá a qualquer momento. A AWS não move dados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CD – E sobre o suporte?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;WV – Oferecemos uma série de planos de suporte para permitir que os clientes escolham o plano que atenda suas necessidades. Os planos premium, por exemplo, oferecem aos clientes um número ilimitado de atendimentos, com pagamento mensal e contratos de curto prazo. Os planos básicos dão aos clientes acesso livre a ferramentas como centro de recursos, dashboard de status de serviços, FAQs técnicos e fóruns de desenvolvimento. Alguns de nossos clientes preferem utilizar um terceiro para ajuda-los com seus desenvolvimentos em nuvem, e para isso trabalhamos com vários integradores de sistemas e ISVs que desenvolveram práticas para isso ou estão oferecendo suas soluções por meio da AWS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CD – Já existem modelos de licenciamento de software que possam ser utilizados na nuvem?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;WV – A AWS está trabalhando com ISVs corporativos com o objetivo de oferecer soluções de software em nossa nuvem. Esse movimento inclui negociações com a Oracle, Red Hat, IBM, SAP, Microsoft, ESRI, Safenet, Sage Software, Dassault e centenas de outros. Também há um número crescente de novas companhias de software que estão desenvolvendo suas ofertas a partir da nossa nuvem, como a Engina Yard, Heroku, Sonian, Rightscale, GoodData e outros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Os ISVs contam com uma série de opções de licenciamento, permitindo que os clientes possam combinar o uso de seus softwares e da nuvem. Uma delas é a portabilidade de licença, que torna possível aos clientes manter seus ativos de software existentes, transferindo licenças tradicionais para uso em uma plataforma em nuvem. A portabilidade de licenças deixa que os consumidores tirem vantagem de suas licenças de software sem ter que investir o capital associado à construção de hardware ou despesas com administradores de sistemas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Outra opção é o licenciamento utilitário, que permite ao cliente pagar exatamente pelo que usa e quando usa. Esse modelo também permite escalar ou reduzir o uso da solução facilmente, de acordo com a flutuação das necessidades de negócio. Finalmente, há o modelo SaaS, onde os ISVs fornecem acesso direto ao aplicativo, enquanto abstrai a plataforma em nuvem. Muitos ISVs contam com as três opções de licenciamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-8793366974646084886?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/8793366974646084886/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=8793366974646084886' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/8793366974646084886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/8793366974646084886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/entrevista-com-werner-vogels.html' title='Entrevista com Werner Vogels'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-4874740528375663033</id><published>2012-01-24T00:11:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T00:11:59.878-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GERAL-Livros'/><title type='text'>Lançamento do Livro CLOUD COMPUTING - Natal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZ3crpb77RY/Tx5nuKToE-I/AAAAAAAADhs/rxGfhOV_GAs/s1600/Convite+Final.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZ3crpb77RY/Tx5nuKToE-I/AAAAAAAADhs/rxGfhOV_GAs/s400/Convite+Final.png" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-4874740528375663033?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/4874740528375663033/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=4874740528375663033' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4874740528375663033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4874740528375663033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/lancamento-do-livro-cloud-computing.html' title='Lançamento do Livro CLOUD COMPUTING - Natal'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZ3crpb77RY/Tx5nuKToE-I/AAAAAAAADhs/rxGfhOV_GAs/s72-c/Convite+Final.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-6843663715542424342</id><published>2012-01-23T07:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T10:46:14.205-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-VISÃO GERAL'/><title type='text'>Pesquisa Acadêmica sobre CLOUD COMPUTING</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Recentemente li um artigo na Decision Support Systems sobre Cloud Computing intitulado "Cloud Computing: The Business Perspective” .

This really is an important step forward in that a huge percentage of commercial applications are written to depend upon Relational Databases. But, I was a bit surprised to get a couple of notes asking about the status of Simple DB and whether the new service was a replacement. These questions were perhaps best characterized by the forum thread The End is Nigh for SimpleDB. I can understand why some might conclude that just having a relational database would be sufficient but the world of structured storage extends far beyond relational systems. In essence, one size does not fit all and both SimpleDB and RDS are important components in addressing the needs of the broader database market. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Relational databases have become so ubiquitous that the term “database” is often treated as synonymous with relational databases like Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, or DB2. However, the term preceded the invention and implementation of the relational model and non-relational data stores remain important today. Relational databases are incredibly rich and able to support a very broad class of applications but with incredible breadth comes significant complexity. Many applications don’t need the rich programming model of relational systems and some applications are better serviced by lighter-weight, easier-to-administer, and easier-to-scale solutions. Both relational and non-relational structured storage systems are important and no single solution is appropriate for all applications. I’ll refer to this broader, beyond-relational database market as “structured storage” to differentiate it from file stores and blob stores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There are a near infinite number of different taxonomies for the structured storage market, but one I find useful is a simple one based upon customer intent: 1) features-first, 2) scale-first, 3) simple structure storage, and 4) purpose-optimized stores. In the discussion that follows, I assume that no database would ever be considered as viable that wasn’t secure and didn’t maintain data integrity. These are base requirements of any reasonable solutions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Feature-First&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The feature-first segment is perhaps the simplest to talk about in that there is near universal agreement. After 35 to 40 years, depending upon how you count, Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMSs) are the structured storage system of choice when a feature-rich solution is needed. Common Feature-First workloads are enterprise financial systems, human resources systems, and customer relationship management systems. In even very large enterprises, a single database instance can often support the entire workload and nearly all of these workloads are hosted on non-sharded relational database management systems. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Examples of products that meet this objective well include Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL amongst others. And the Amazon Relational Database Service announced last week is a good example of a cloud-based solution. Generally, the feature-first segment use RDBMSs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Scale-First&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Scale-first segment is considerably less clear and the source of much more debate. Scale-first applications are those that absolutely must scale without bound and being able to do this without restriction is much more important than more features. These applications are exemplified by very high scale web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Gmail, Yahoo, and Amazon.com. Some of these sites actually do make use of relational databases but many do not. The common theme across all of these services is that scale is more important than features and none of them could possibly run on a single RDBMS. As soon as a single RDBMS instance won’t handle the workload, there are two broad possibilities: 1) shard the application data over a large number of RDBMS systems, or 2) use a highly scalable key-value store.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Looking first at sharding over multiple RDBMS instances, this model requires that the programming model be significantly constrained to not expect cross-database instance joins, aggregations, globally unique secondary indexes, global stored procedures, and all the other relational database features that are incredibly hard to scale. Effectively, in this first usage mode, an RDBMS is being used as the implementation but the full relational model is not being exposed to the developer since the full model is incredibly difficult to scale. In this approach, the data is sharded over 10s or even 100s of independent database instances. The Windows Live Messenger group store is an excellent example of the Sharded RDBMS model of Scale-First.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There may be some that will jump in and say that DB2 Parallel Edition (DB2 PE, now part of the DB2 Enterprise Edition) and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) actually do scale the full relational model. I was lucky enough to work closely with the DB2 PE team when I was Lead Architect on DB2 so I know it well. There is no question that both DB2 and RAC are great products but, as good as they are, very high scale sites still typically chose to either 1) shard over multiple instances or 2) use a high-scale, key-value store.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This first option, that of using an RDBMS as an implementation component, and sharding data over many instances is a perfectly reasonable and rational approach and one that is frequently used. The second option is to use a scalable key-value store. Some key-value store product examples include Project Voldemort, Ringo, Scalaris, Kai, Dynomite, MemcacheDB, ThruDB, CouchDB, Cassandra, HBase and Hypertable (see Key Value Stores). Amazon SimpleDB is a good example of a cloud-based offering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Simple Structured Storage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There are many applications that have a structured storage requirement but they really don’t need the features, cost, or complexity of an RDBMS. Nor are they focused on the scale required by the scale-first structured storage segment. They just need a simple key value store. A file system or BLOB-store is not sufficiently rich in that simple query and index access is needed but nothing even close to the full set of RDBMS features is needed. Simple, cheap, fast, and low operational burden are the most important requirements of this segment of the market. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Uses of Simple Structured Storage at unremarkable and, as a consequence, there are less visible examples at the low-end of the scale spectrum to reference. Towards the high-end, we have email inbox search at Facebook (using Cassandra), Last.fm reports they will be using Project-Voldemort (using Project-Voldemort), and Amazon uses Dynamo for the retail shopping cart (using Dynamo). Perhaps the widest used example of this class of storage system is Berkeley DB. On the cloud-side, SimpleDB again is a good example (AdaptiveBlue, Livemocha, and Alexa).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Purpose-Optimized Stores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Recently Mike Stonebraker wrote an influential paper titled One Size Fits All: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone. In this paper, Mike argued that the existing commercial RDBMS offerings do not meet the needs of many important market segments. In a presentation with the same title, Stonebraker argues that StreamBase special purpose stream processing system beat the RDBMS solutions in benchmarks by 27x, that Vertica, a special purpose data warehousing product beat the RDBMS incumbents by never less than 30x, and H-Store (now VoltDB), a special purpose transaction processing system, beat the standard RDBMS offerings by a full 82x. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Many other Purpose-Optimized stores have emerged (for example, Aster Data, Netezza, and Greenplum) and this category continues to grow quickly. Clearly there is space and customer need for more than a single solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Where do SimpleDB and RDS Fit in?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Amazon RDS service is aimed squarely at the first category above, Feature-First. This is a segment that needs features and mostly uses RDBMS databases. And RDS is amongst the easiest ways to bring up one or more databases quickly and efficiently without needing to hire a database administrator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Amazon SimpleDB is a good solution for the third category, Simple Structured Storage. SimpleDB is there when you need it, is incredibly easy to use, and is inexpensive. The SimpleDB team will continue to focus on 1) very high availability, 2) supporting scale without bound, 3) simplicity and ease of use, and 4) lowest possible cost and this service will continue to evolve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The second category, scale-first, is served by both SimpleDB and RDS. Solutions based upon RDS will shard the data over multiple, independent RDS database instances. Solutions based upon SimpleDB will either use the service directly or shard the data over multiple SimpleDB Domains. Of the two approaches, SimpleDB is the easiest to use and more directly targets this usage segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The SimpleDB team is incredibly busy right now getting ready for several big announcements over the next 6 to 9 months. Expect to see SimpleDB continue to get easier to use while approaching the goal of scaling without bound. The team is working hard and I’m looking forward to the new features being released.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The AWS solution for the final important category, purpose optimized storage, is based upon the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and the Elastic Block Store (EBS). EC2 provides the capability to host specialized data engines and EBS provides virtualized storage for the data engine hosted in EC2. This combination is sufficiently rich to support Purpose-Optimized Stores such as Aster Data, Vertica, or Greenplum or any of the commonly used RDBMS offerings such as Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Amazon Web Services plan is to continue to invest deeply in both SimpleDB and RDS as direct structured storage solutions and to continue to rapidly enhance EC2 and EBS to ensure that broadly-used database solutions as well as purpose-built stores run extremely well in the cloud. This year has been a busy one in AWS storage and I’m looking forward to the same pace next year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-7943156788636589632?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/7943156788636589632/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=7943156788636589632' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7943156788636589632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7943156788636589632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-size-does-not-fit-all.html' title='One Size Does Not Fit All'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-7435792034620121144</id><published>2012-01-18T22:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-19T04:27:05.531-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-NoSQL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Amazon DynamoDB: NoSQL in the Cloud</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;James Hamilton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Finally !I’ve been dying to talk about DynamoDB since work began on this scalable, low-latency, high-performance NoSQL service at AWS. This morning, AWS announced availability of DynamoDB: Amazon Web Services Launches Amazon DynamoDB – A New NoSQL Database Service Designed for the Scale of the Internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In a past blog entry, One Size Does Not Fit All, I offered a taxonomy of 4 different types of structured storage system, argued that Relational Database Management Systems are not sufficient, and walked through some of the reasons why NoSQL databases have emerged and continue to grow market share quickly. The four database categories I introduced were: 1) features-first, 2) scale-first, 3) simple structure storage, and 4) purpose-optimized stores. RDBMS own the first category. &lt;br /&gt;DynamoDB targets workloads fitting into the Scale-First and Simple Structured storage categories where NoSQL database systems have been so popular over the last few years. Looking at these two categories in more detail, Scale-First is:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Scale-first applications are those that absolutely must scale without bound and being able to do this without restriction is much more important than more features. These applications are exemplified by very high scale web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Gmail, Yahoo, and Amazon.com. Some of these sites actually do make use of relational databases but many do not. The common theme across all of these services is that scale is more important than features and none of them could possibly run on a single RDBMS. As soon as a single RDBMS instance won’t handle the workload, there are two broad possibilities: 1) shard the application data over a large number of RDBMS systems, or 2) use a highly scalable key-value store.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;And, Simple Structured Storage:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There are many applications that have a structured storage requirement but they really don’t need the features, cost, or complexity of an RDBMS. Nor are they focused on the scale required by the scale-first structured storage segment. They just need a simple key value store. A file system or BLOB-store is not sufficiently rich in that simple query and index access is needed but nothing even close to the full set of RDBMS features is needed. Simple, cheap, fast, and low operational burden are the most important requirements of this segment of the market.&lt;br /&gt;More detail at: One Size Does Not Fit All.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The DynamoDB service is a unified purpose-built hardware platform and software offering. The hardware is based upon a custom server design using Flash Storage spread over a scalable high speed network joining multiple data centers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;DynamoDB supports a provisioned throughput model. A DynamoDB application programmer decides the number of database requests per second their application should be capable of supporting and DynamoDB automatically spreads the table over an appropriate number of servers. At the same time, it also reserves the required network, server, and flash memory capacity to ensure that request rate can be reliably delivered day and night, week after week, and year after year. There is no need to worry about a neighboring application getting busy or running wild and taking all the needed resources. They are reserved and there whenever needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The sharding techniques needed to achieve high requests rates are well understood industry-wide but implementing them does take some work. Reliably reserving capacity so it is always there when you need it, takes yet more work. Supporting the ability to allocate more resources, or even less, while online and without disturbing the current request rate takes still more work. DynamoDB makes all this easy. It supports online scaling between very low transaction rates to applications requiring millions of requests per second. No downtime and no disturbance to the currently configured application request rate while resharding. These changes are done online only by changing the DynamoDB provisioned request rate up and down through an API call.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In addition to supporting transparent, on-line scaling of provisioned request rates up and down over 6+ orders of magnitude with resource reservation, DynamoDB is also both consistent and multi-datacenter redundant. Eventual consistency is a fine programming model for some applications but it can yield confusing results under some circumstances. For example, if you set a value to 3 and then later set it to 4, then read it back, 3 can be returned. Worse, the value could be set to 4, verified to be 4 by reading it, and yet 3 could be returned later. It’s a tough programming model for some applications and it tends to be overused in an effort to achieve low-latency and high throughput. DynamoDB avoids forcing this by supporting low-latency and high throughout while offering full consistency. It also offers eventual consistency at lower request cost for those applications that run well with that model. Both consistency models are supported.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It is not unusual for a NoSQL store to be able to support high transaction rates. What is somewhat unusual is to be able to scale the provisioned rate up and down while on-line. Achieving that while, at the same time, maintaining synchronous, multi-datacenter redundancy is where I start to get excited.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Clearly nobody wants to run the risk of losing data but NoSQL systems are scale-first by definition. If the only way to high throughput and scale, is to run risk and not commit the data to persistent storage at commit time, that is exactly what is often done. This is where DynamoDB really shines. When data is sent to DynamoDB, it is committed to persistent and reliable storage before the request is acknowledged. Again this is easy to do but doing it with average low single digit millisecond latencies is both harder and requires better hardware. Hard disk drives can’t do it and in-memory systems are not persistent so flash memory is the most cost effective solution. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;But what if the server to which the data was committed fails, or the storage fails, or the datacenter is destroyed? On most NoSQL systems you would lose your most recent changes. On the better implementations, the data might be saved but could be offline and unavailable. With dynamoDB, if data is committed just as the entire datacenter burns to the ground, the data is safe, and the application can continue to run without negative impact at exactly the same provisioned throughput rate. The loss of an entire datacenter isn’t even inconvenient (unless you work at Amazon :-)) and has no impact on your running application performance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Combining rock solid synchronous, multi-datacenter redundancy with average latency in the single digits, and throughput scaling to the millions of requests per second is both an excellent engineering challenge and one often not achieved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Relational systems remain an excellent solution for applications requiring Feature-First structured storage. AWS Relational Database Service supports both the MySQL and Oracle and relational database management systems: http://aws.amazon.com/rds/.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Just as I was blown away when I saw it possible to create the world’s 42nd most powerful super computer with a few API calls to AWS (42: the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything), it is truly cool to see a couple of API calls to DynamoDB be all that it takes to get a scalable, consistent, low-latency, multi-datacenter redundant, NoSQL service configured, operational and online.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-7435792034620121144?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/7435792034620121144/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=7435792034620121144' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7435792034620121144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7435792034620121144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/amazon-dynamodb-nosql-in-cloud-finally.html' title='Amazon DynamoDB: NoSQL in the Cloud'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-3614747572915998130</id><published>2012-01-18T13:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T22:40:54.802-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-NoSQL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Novo serviço DynamoDB da Amazon promete facilitar crescimento de sites</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;IDG Now&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Amazon anunciou nesta terça (18) um novo serviço, chamado DynamoDB, para permitir que sites cresçam "sem perda de desempenho", diz a empresa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O recurso faz parte da Amazon Web Services, plataforma de serviços na nuvem usada por empresas para processar determinadas tarefas - como o armazenamento de dados - sem precisar investir muito em hardware e software próprios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;De acordo com a empresa, a tecnologia é um novo padrão de banco de dados chamado de NoSQL. Ele permite o crescimento no tamanho dos sites sem prejudicar o desempenho, repartindo o processamento entre servidores e storage de maneira mais barata e simples.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Agora a Amazon vai oferecer o NoSQL como um serviço cloud – os clientes pagarão apenas por aquilo que usam. A empresa também aumentou sua oferta de armazenamento em estado sólido (SSD), mais ágil que os dicos rígidos tradicionais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;De acordo com a companhia, bancos de dados tradicionais necessitam que os dados sejam muito bem estruturados (nomes precisam ser rotulados como nomes, assim como endereços, números de ID do cliente e assim por diante). Eles também precisam ser carregados em um único hardware (servidores e storage) para funcionar bem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Quando o banco de dados cresce, torna-se mais lento e mais caro. O NoSQL trabalha com dados menos estruturados e funciona em muitos servidores e unidades de armazenamento, crescendo de forma instantânea e encolhendo de volta sem perder informações.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Várias empresas vendem bases de dados NoSQL. O Couchbase é um dos maiores. Uma versão gratuita, a CouchDB, está disponível na Fundação Apache. Empresas como a Oracle também oferecem produtos NoSQL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Com o Amazon DynamoDB, os desenvolvedores de aplicativos baseados em nuvem pode começar pequeno, com apenas a capacidade de que precisam e, em seguida, aumentá-la conforme sua app cresce em popularidade", disse Werner Vogels, CTO da Amazon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Desenvolvedores podem testar o DynamoDB gratuitamente para aplicações que não passem de 40 milhões de pedidos por mês.

Chamada Next Generation Learning Platform, a solução integra aplicativos educacionais, recursos de aprendizagem digital e sistemas de gerenciamento de dados em um pacote baseado na nuvem. O objetivo é ajudar na criação de experiências personalizadas de ensino e aprendizagem, assim como estimular a colaboração dentro e fora das salas de aula.&lt;br /&gt;A plataforma reúne ferramentas de gerenciamento de currículos, aplicativos educacionais, recursos de ensino online e ferramentas para a realização de palestras, chat e colaboração em uma única interface. Esta interface pode ser customizada de acordo com as necessidades de professores, pais, estudantes e área administrativa das escolas.&lt;br /&gt;A empresa fornecerá ainda um repositório de conteúdo para pesquisa, compartilhamento e acesso, enquanto os sistemas EDM (Education Data Management) da companhia entregarão ferramentas para a captura, armazenamento e monitoramento de dados dos estudantes.&lt;br /&gt;Estes dados poderão ser analisados por meio de uma série de dashboards e relatórios, que a companhia acredita permitirão aos professores monitorar o progresso dos alunos e tomar iniciativas proativas para a obtenção de resultados melhores. Para Dell, a plataforma permitirá uma forma mais personalizada de educação.&lt;br /&gt;Ao mesmo tempo, a Dell conectará a plataforma a uma série de novas tecnologias de apoio, como software de reconhecimento de voz, telas de alta definição e monitores touchscreen para suportar alunos com necessidades especiais de aprendizagem. “Nossa missão é equipar professores, administradores e pais com os recursos que eles precisam para garantir que todos os alunos atinjam 100% de seu potencial”, afirma Mark Horan, vice-presidente global de educação da Dell.&lt;br /&gt;Com a iniciativa, a Dell entra em um mercado já bastante concorrido. A Microsoft acaba de lançar uma plataforma chamada “School in a Box”, que está em piloto em algumas escolas na Inglaterra. Também o Google anunciará em breve sua própria plataforma, baseada em laptops Chromebook e no Google Apps.

Dedalus, parceira da norte-americana, diz que reclamação é devido a migração de diversos clientes para recém-chegada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CIO-UOL &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Edileuza Soares&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A promessa da Amazon Web Services (AWS), empresa de infraestrutura de TI pertencente a gigante de e-commerce norte-americana Amazon, de operar no Brasil com estratégia de preços baixos para acelerar a adoção de cloud computing, movimentou provedores locais. Alguns reagiram contra o modelo de atuação do novo player e outros acham que a chegada da empresa ao País vai estimular a vinda de outras companhias internacionais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Os serviços de cloud da Amazon estão disponíveis no mercado brasileiro desde 15 de dezembro, quando a companhia lançou oficialmente a operação no País. Em visita a São Paulo, o vice-presidente mundial da Amazon Web Services (AWS), Andy Jassy, deu sinais de que a companhia daria trabalho aos concorrentes locais como Alog, Locaweb, Hostlocation, UOL Diveo, Tivit, entre outros. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Jassy garantiu que a prestadora de serviços veio para o Brasil com a estratégia de oferecer cloud a preços mais competitivos que os competidores por operar com grandes volumes e ter escala para repassar reduções de custos aos clientes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Prestadores de serviços brasileiros avaliam que a nova concorrente levará algum tempo para ajustar sua operação, pois conta no Brasil apenas com a infraestrutura e depende da matriz, nos EUA, para cuidar da parte administrativa e suporte técnico. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Um presidente de um data center, ouvido pela reportagem da COMPUTERWORLD, que não quis se identificar, observou que as contratações dos serviços da AWS no Brasil são com cartão de crédito e em dólar, transação que, segundo ele, é muito aceita pelo pequeno desenvolvedor heavy user, mas que não é comum no mercado corporativo. Na sua opinião, o atendimento em inglês também é uma barreira.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“É complexo administrar uma operação dessas com atendimento e gestão externa”, disse o executivo, que acha que essa situação não deve ser definitiva, considerando que a AWS anunciou que tem intenção de atender a órgãos de governo, tipo de cliente que contrata serviço por meio de licitação e faz uma série de exigências. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Se eles não possuírem estrutura administrativa no País nem estiverem de acordo com a legislação brasileira, não poderão vender cloud computing para serviços públicos”, disse o presidente do data center, que acredita que essas arestas serão resolvidas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Para Gilberto Mautner, presidente da Locaweb, a chegada da AWS ao Brasil não traz nenhum impacto para sua operação. “Os preços deles são o dobro dos nossos e não acho que são nossos concorrentes”, acredita o executivo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ao comparar as ofertas de cloud da Amazon, ele afirma que a prestadora de serviços está entrando no País com pacotes muito distantes da realidade das pequenas empresas e star ups. Mautner dá o exemplo da contratação de um servidor de 2 GB de memória, com espaço de 50 gigas para armazenamento com backup que na Locaweb sai por 199 reais e na AWS por 360 reais, sem suporte técnico 24 horas em português.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na opinião de Victor Arnaud, diretor de Marketing da Alog, o aumento da concorrência faz parte e é saudável a chegada da AWS. “A vinda deles mostra o potencial do Brasil para gerar negócios e deverá estimular outras empresas a fazer o mesmo”, avalia o executivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Arnaud destaca que a Alog, agora controlada pelo grupo Equinix, conta com data centers espalhados pelo mundo, e tem planos de trazer novos serviços para o Brasil. A companhia está em fase de negociação com parceiros internacionais para atuarem aqui e o executivo acredita que a chega da AWS pode acelerar esse processo. Esse movimento de novos players, segundo Arnaud, vai contribuir para o amadurecimento dos serviços de cloud computing e todos sairão ganhando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Migração de clientes para a Amazon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Maurício Fernandes, presidente da Dedalus, uma das integrantes do ecossistema da AWS no Brasil, confirma que a Amazon realmente não oferece outras opções de pagamento, além do cartão de crédito, nem suporte em português para as empresas que contratam serviços pela internet. Entretanto, ele informa que os clientes da Dedalus não enfrentam essa dificuldade, pois contratam seus serviços de consultoria e todo atendimento e faturamento são realizados no Brasil. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O executivo considera que as reclamações sobre o modelo da nova competidora é uma reação contra a migração de clientes. A Dedalus é atualmente uma das empresas que vendem cloud computing da Amazon para organizações brasileiras, oferecendo consultoria e suporte técnico em português 24x7 para os que quiserem aderir ao novo modelo de compra de TI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Segundo Fernandes, a AWS já conta com 60 clientes no Brasil contratados pela Dedalus. Entre os quais estão organizações grandes e de médio porte como a companhia aérea Gol, o site de compras coletivas Peixe Urbano, portal R7, Merk e Petrobras. Entre esses, 20 eram clientes que a Dedalus já hospedava aplicações em data centers da Amazon fora do Brasil antes de sua chegada aqui.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Entre quatro a cinco empresas nos consultam diariamente sobre os serviços da AWS. O impacto que eles estão causando no mercado local é muito grande porque o Brasil não tinha experiência de fato em cloud computing e agora passa a ter”. O executivo destaca ainda que, além de custos altos e capacidade para atendimento aos clientes em larga escala, os SLAs desse serviço ainda são frágeis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Muitos dizem que tem nuvem, mas só no nome. Os processos deles ainda estão travados. A nuvem tem de ser grande e oferecer escala planetária para ser funcional”, diz o presidente da Dedalus. Por causa disso, Fernandes revela que a AWS em pouco tempo de operação com infraestrutura local já conquistou 16 clientes da concorrência. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Um desses clientes, cujo nome não foi revelado, é um grande varejista, que opera na internet. “Essa empresa recebe 2 milhões de visitas por mês e seu site ficou 15 minutos fora do ar. A empresa foi obrigada a se comunicar com seu prestador de serviço via chat, sem obter resposta. A concorrência está perdendo clientes não por causa de preços, mas por falta de qualidade de serviços”, afirma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O presidente da Dedalus acredita que a AWS vai mudar o cenário da prestação de cloud computing no Brasil, obrigando os prestadores de serviços a rever seus modelos. Essa mudança, segundo ele, deverá favorecer não somente grandes companhias, mas também pequenos empreendimentos, que vão poder comprar infraestrutura de TI na nuvem e escalar seu negócio de acordo com a necessidade. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Para Fernandes, é uma situação bastante diferente da época da bolha da internet, quando muitas pontocom quebraram porque não tinham condições de manter seus negócios no ar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Amazon no Brasil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Amazon está atendendo ao Brasil por meio de dois DATACENTERS, instalados em locais diferentes no Estado de São Paulo. Jassy não revelou a localização nem se o espaço utilizado é empreendimento próprio ou de terceiros. Entretanto, fontes do mercado garantem que a companhia contratou infraestutura de provedores nacionais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Eles argumentam não que há nenhuma construção nova de DATACENTER em São Paulo e que é difícil erguer obras físicas em segredo, sem que contratação dos equipamentos de nobreak e fornecedores de energia. Rumores dão conta de que os possíveis DATACENTERS utilizados para a operação da AWS no Brasil são os da Tivit, em São Paulo, e o do grupo mineiro Algar, localizado na cidade de Campinas, no interior Paulista. Nenhuma dessas empresas comenta o assunto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-9167455243090359722?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/9167455243090359722/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=9167455243090359722' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/9167455243090359722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/9167455243090359722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/amazon-aws-no-brasil.html' title='Amazon AWS no Brasil'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-8341913745675413289</id><published>2012-01-16T08:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T08:34:48.250-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Brasil'/><title type='text'>ALOG é o primeiro DATACENTER brasileiro a participar da comunidade OPENSTACK</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CNT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Alog Data Centers do Brasil, empresa que faz parte da plataforma Equinix, é a primeira companhia brasileira a participar da comunidade OpenStack, que visa oferecer soluções para todos os tipos de nuvens. A iniciativa tem colaboração global de desenvolvedores, tecnólogos da computação em nuvem e empresas que produzem plataformas de computação em padrão aberto para nuvens públicas e privadas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A OpenStack foi iniciada pela Nasa e Rackspace em julho de 2010. Atualmente, mais de 140 empresas globais e 2.100 participantes fazem parte da comunidade, como por exemplo, HP, Dell, Intel, AMD e Cisco. A participação é feita através de projetos que podem ser relacionados entre si em vários componentes de uma solução de infraestrutura de nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O diretor e marketing e processos da Alog, Victor Arnaud, explica os objetivos da Alog com uma parceria deste porte: “Basicamente, temos três objetivos nessa parceria: ser uma opção formal de infraestrutura de data center local para empresas que estão construindo suas nuvens públicas ou privadas baseadas no OpenStack no Brasil ou América Latina, participar no desenvolvimento da plataforma para construção de nuvens públicas, híbridas e privadas com o melhor custo-benefício para empresas brasileiras e latino americanas e contribuir para que todo o ecossistema de empresas que fazem parte da comunidade OpenStack conheçam melhor o tamanho e potencial do mercado brasileiro de cloud.”, afirma o executivo em comunicado à imprensa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Qualquer organização participante do projeto pode criar e oferecer serviços de computação em nuvem rodando em hardware padrão com a plataforma OpenStack. Os participantes do OpenStack, empresas, prestadores de serviços, pesquisadores e centros de dados globais, podem executar, construir ou enviar alterações de volta para o projeto. O modelo também visa derrubar as barreiras conceituais ainda existentes para adoção de cloud computing e a criação de um grande ecossistema que abrange os provedores de cloud que utilizam a plataforma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Déborah Oliveira&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Manter a infraestrutura tecnológica dentro de casa é uma decisão que está sendo repensada pelas companhias, especialmente as de pequeno e médio portes, afirma Anderson Figueiredo, gerente de Pesquisas da consultoria IDC. Ao que tudo indica, o poder da computação não está mais preso a uma caixa, saltou para as nuvens. “O investimento em soluções para o data center é alto e pagar pelo uso é grande atrativo. Essa é uma importante alavanca de cloud no modelo público de infraestrutura como serviço (IaaS)”, diz. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Segundo Figueiredo, as grandes, geralmente, já contam com suas estruturas, realizaram alto investimento na aquisição de equipamentos e, por isso, tendem a escolher o modelo privado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dados da IDC mostram que em 2010, o mercado nacional de IaaS na modalidade pública movimentou 35,8 milhões de dólares, com representação de 50,3% do setor de cloud computing. A consultoria projeta que em 2011 ele seja responsável por 56,1% e gere receita de 55,89 milhões de dólares. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Em 2012, o crescimento será ainda maior, aponta a IDC, já que deverá somar 90,86 milhões de dólares. A expansão média, ano a ano, será de 64%, de acordo com Figueiredo incremento superior ao de software como serviço, que já fisgou mais usuários até o momento. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O instituto de pesquisas Gartner aponta que até 2014, esse segmento deve totalizar receita de 10,5 bilhões de dólares em todo o mundo. “Da mesma forma que as classes sociais cresceram, as empresas também. Elas mudaram de patamar na cadeia econômica e passaram a ter novas necessidades e IaaS ganhou espaço nesse contexto com forte apelo de redução de custos, possibilidade de expansão e flexibilidade”, aponta Figueiredo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Atentas a esse cenário, o estudo 350 Maiores Empresas de TI e Telecom, realizado pela Deloitte em parceira com a COMPUTERWORLD, revelou que 60% das empresas que responderam já têm oferta de nuvem. Dessas, 25% disseram que IaaS é o segundo produto de cloud comercializado, perdendo para SaaS. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Além disso, 41% acreditam que infraestrutura como serviço será a modalidade de mais crescimento nos próximos anos. A exemplo de companhias como Amazon, uma das líderes do mercado lá fora, elas vislumbram oportunidades na nuvem e querem conquistar filão desse mercado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na opinião de Pedro Bicudo, sócio-diretor da consultoria TGT Consult, IaaS deverá atingir maturidade nos próximos dois anos, mas precisa passar por uma fase de mudança cultural para decolar. “Ainda há fornecedores que apontam cloud como forma de terceirização. Mas não é. É preciso uma ruptura desse pensamento”, diz. Ele explica que a diferença está na customização. “Nuvem é massificada, a solução é igual para todas, outsourcing não. É por isso que cloud custa metade do valor de terceirização”, esclarece.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Outro ponto de atenção no setor, diz, é em relação à oferta. “A indústria tem de vender cloud, assim como é feito com as impressoras: na prateleira. Um grande desafio hoje”, acrescenta. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Embora segurança ainda seja apontada por companhias e analistas como alerta vermelho para adoção de cloud, para Figueiredo a terceira barreira não está relacionada ao tema e sim ao modelo de negócios. “Empresas ainda têm dúvidas de como o serviço pode ser cobrado”, opina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A HP tem uma proposta de infraestrutura convergente, desde o início do ano, os olhares da companhia estão voltados ao tripé infraestrutura como serviço, plataforma como serviço e loja de aplicativos, afirma Alexandre Kazuki, diretor de Marketing da área de Enterprise Server Storage Network (ESSN) da HP Brasil. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Até o ano passado, atuávamos como consultoria para clientes que desejavam migrar para a nuvem. A oferta que temos hoje é focada em grandes empresas e temos acordos de níveis de serviço que monitoram paradas, tempo de resposta etc”, explica. Kazuki diz que no Brasil são dois data centers direcionados para atender aos clientes de IaaS, um em Alphaville (SP) e outro em Anchieta (SP).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;No entanto, na visão dele, o uso de cloud pública ainda é baixo, mas a tendência para os próximos anos deverá ser a combinação de cloud privadas e públicas. “Apostamos no incremento das nuvens híbridas”, diz. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Henrique Sei, diretor de Vendas de Soluções da Dell Brasil, diz que o foco da Dell vai além do hardware. “Engloba produtos de mobilidade, software, serviço e estamos cada vez mais seguindo o caminho do as a service”, explica. Em abril deste ano a empresa anunciou que vai direcionar 1 bilhão de dólares para construção de data centers em todo o mundo destinados à oferta de cloud computing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“A ideia é manter a oferta de hosting e colocation por meio de parceiros e migrar os novos ambientes para IaaS”, diz. A Dell adotou como estratégia efetuar aquisições para reforçar o portfólio de data center. Um exemplo é a Force10, comprada recentemente. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O modelo é velho conhecido da Locaweb, assegura Gilberto Mautner, presidente da companhia. “Trabalhamos desde 1998 com assinatura de serviços e não temos dificuldade. Começamos a atuar no mercado na gestão de sites e conforme a base de clientes cresceu passamos a prover IaaS.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hoje, a companhia tem cerca de 6 mil clientes de IaaS, incluindo usuários de servidores dedicados e as companhias de e-commerce são as que mais apostam no modelo, segundo Mautner. Ele assinala que infraestrutura como serviço representa um terço da receita da companhia, que em 2010 foi de 147,9 milhões de reais [23,7% a mais do que em 2009]. “Em nuvem, crescemos cerca de 50% ao ano.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Com a adoção crescente de IaaS, além dos fornecedores de hardware de TI os de hardware de Telecom também vão sentir o efeito dominó. Rodrigo Dienstmann, diretor de Operadoras da Cisco do Brasil, conta que três grandes demandas deverão ampliar a presença da companhia no setor: aumento de devices conectados, explosão de acesso a vídeos e cloud computing. No último ano, aponta, a Cisco cresceu quase 30% em receita e esses elementos contribuíram para a ampliação dos negócios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Cisco, prossegue, que sempre teve presença em data centers com a linha de switches e roteadores, fez investimento direcionados [como a entrada no segmento de servidores] para que pudesse oferecer uma arquitetura completa para os data centers, seja de teles ou corporativos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ele diz que a entrada de teles no mercado de TV por assinatura, possibilitando que os clientes acessem a programação na cloud e ainda a maior cobertura da banda larga no País, gera oportunidades para toda a cadeia envolvida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-1051818459219946900?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/1051818459219946900/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=1051818459219946900' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/1051818459219946900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/1051818459219946900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/iaas-crescera-64-em-2012-no-brasil.html' title='IaaS crescerá 64% em 2012 no Brasil, prevê IDC'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-3512576228162627959</id><published>2012-01-06T15:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T15:21:06.811-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTER-Aspectos Gerais'/><title type='text'>DATACENTER Conferences for 2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;DATACENTER KNOWLEDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We’ve put together a list of conferences for the data center industry in 2012, with links to additional information on each event.

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Brasil'/><title type='text'>ATIVAS desenvolve expertise para gerenciar TI de empresas da área de saúde</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Setor demandará cada vez mais soluções de TI para enfrentar desafios e crescer de maneira sustentável&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O setor de saúde movimenta R$ 72 bilhões no Brasil, segundo o International Data Corporation (IDC). Dessa fatia, 3,2% é hoje investida em Tecnologia da Informação (TI), o que corresponde a R$ 2 bilhões —10% do mercado total de TI. A expectativa é de que o número acompanhe o desenvolvimento do segmento, que cresce 14% ao ano e engloba 221 mil estabelecimentos, 70% deles prestadores privados. O estudo também aponta a provável expansão das operadoras de saúde, principalmente entre as classes C e D, já que apenas 25% da população possui planos privados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O cenário exige que as empresas de saúde invistam em uma infraestrutura tecnológica robusta, capaz de garantir a gestão eficiente e segura dos dados e processos, de aprimorar o atendimento e a relação com o cliente, de controlar custos e de apoiar a sustentabilidade do negócio —soluções que a ATIVAS, empresa do Grupo Asamar e CEMIGTelecom, disponibiliza para instituições do setor como a Unimed-BH, Unimed Betim, Unimed-Rio, Hospital Biocor, Uniodonto Curitiba, Copass Saúde, entre outras. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Inovação&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A ATIVAS desenvolveu expertise nas áreas de hospedagem, administração e gerenciamento de sistemas de gestão, que podem contribuir para que as instituições de saúde alinhem de maneira mais eficaz suas estratégias e operações e tenham mais visibilidade sobre os processos organizacionais. Por meio desse serviço, é possível alcançar maior produtividade e otimizar a gestão financeira, utilizando recursos analíticos de negócios, bem como acessar as informações certas, em tempo real, e detectar os possíveis problemas com antecedência. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Outro foco da ATIVAS é fornecer tecnologia para subsidiar a implantação do Prontuário Eletrônico do Paciente (PEP), modelo nacional de prontuário médico digital que armazena os atendimentos, internações, imagens diagnósticas, tratamentos anteriores e permite, assim, o acompanhamento do caso e a visão detalhada da evolução do paciente. O PEP permite também que as instituições reduzam custos, padronizem rotinas de trabalho e níveis de atendimento, rastreiem a produtividade operacional e criem barreiras de segurança associadas ao cuidado do paciente A Unimed-BH, uma das maiores cooperativas do país na área médica, já usa o serviço, aliado ao Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), que armazena e integra imagens de exames ao PEP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A empresa também está preparada para oferecer soluções que viabilizem, por exemplo, a utilização da tecnologia RFID, que rastreia a movimentação e localiza materiais, equipamentos, medicamentos e pacientes na instituição, além de permitir a realização de um inventário em tempo real dos insumos mais críticos; e a telemedicina —tendência na área médica—, ou seja, a discussão, acompanhamento, pesquisa ou avaliação de um caso ou intervenção clínica por grupos médicos fisicamente distantes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Fidelização de pacientes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A busca por mecanismos de fidelização do paciente é um dos principais desafios da área de saúde. Esse era também um dos objetivos da Unimed-BH, quando fechou parceria com a ATIVAS há um ano. Para tanto, a empresa desenvolveu um trabalho específico na Central de Serviços da cooperativa. Estruturada conforme os princípios de ITIL (melhores práticas recomendadas para a prestação de serviços de TI), a central passou a fornecer atendimento 24 horas. Mais de 60 procedimentos foram padronizados a partir do conceito de Gestão do Conhecimento, criando um processo rápido e eficiente para solucionar demandas mais recorrentes. “Na prática, a resolução de problemas para o usuário ficou mais ágil: uma vez mapeadas, as ocorrências já têm respostas imediatas. Isso hoje ocorre com 30% das demandas”, destaca o analista de transição da ATIVAS, Hélcio Vieira. As medidas levaram o índice de abandono de ligações cair de 36% para 0,4% em um ano.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Por meio da adoção de soluções de TI, os sistemas ganharam em disponibilidade, segurança, escalabilidade, agilidade e inovação. A cooperativa passou a contar com a mais moderna infraestrutura de tecnologia, bem como profissionais altamente especializados. “Como o objetivo da terceirização era focar em nosso core business, a parceria com a ATIVAS foi acertada”, ressalta o diretor-presidente da Unimed-BH, Helton Freitas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Confidencialidade e segurança&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Um quesito fundamental e uma obrigação legal de hospitais, clínicas e operadoras de saúde é garantir a confidencialidade das informações e documentos dos pacientes. Para atender essa necessidade, bem como permitir a continuidade dos serviços, a ATIVAS trabalha com sistemas de backup, contingência, disaster-discovery e virtualização de servidores, storages e desktops. Os recursos, implantados em julho pelo Hospital Biocor, situado na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, fortaleceram o controle da informação e tornaram o sistema da instituição mais robusto e protegido de riscos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A ATIVAS controla e supervisiona os sistemas integrados, a infraestrutura de rede, os servidores de dados e aplicativos, os mecanismos de backup e os planos de contingência que compõem a política de segurança da informação do Biocor. O backup de dados do hospital fica hospedado no data center da empresa, certificado pelas organizações internacionais TÜV Rheinland e Tier III, que atesta uma disponibilidade de, no mínimo, 99,98%. Ele garante a segurança e a integridade das informações do cliente, tanto do ponto de vista físico, considerando a infraestrutura de servidores e demais hardwares, quanto do ponto de vista de acesso, considerando os sistemas de segurança de rede.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“A redundância de servidores e a capacidade de execução dos serviços que dependem de processamento computacional melhoraram ainda mais a disponibilidade, o acesso e a segurança da informação do hospital”, garante o diretor geral do Biocor Instituto, Mario Vrandecic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Sobre a ATIVAS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A ATIVAS é uma empresa de tecnologia posicionada como MSP (Managed Service Provider). Possui as certificações internacionais Tier III e TÜV Rheinland. A empresa atua fortemente na gestão de serviços dos seus clientes, compromissada com os SLAs (Service Level Agreements) exigidos pelos diversos negócios, segmentos e fornecedores. A ATIVAS possui um vasto portfólio e oferece soluções de acordo com as necessidades de seus clientes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Traz novidades no que tange às soluções no modelo SaaS (Software as a Service) e cloud computing, que permitem ao cliente ampliar rapidamente o seu contrato conforme a sua demanda (escalabilidade). A infraestrutura da ATIVAS foi concebida no conceito de virtualização fim-a-fim —virtualização nas camadas de firewall, rede, servidores/aplicações e storage, sendo referência como uma das mais modernas do mundo em segurança e contingência.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Assessoria de Imprensa - Interface Comunicação Empresarial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Marina Daldegan (31) 3211-7512 / 93131183&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-1142993332576517968?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/1142993332576517968/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=1142993332576517968' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/1142993332576517968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/1142993332576517968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2012/01/ativas-desenvolve-expertise-para.html' title='ATIVAS desenvolve expertise para gerenciar TI de empresas da área de saúde'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-6122177919494652530</id><published>2011-12-29T11:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-29T11:28:59.117-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Tendencias'/><title type='text'>5 grandes tendências de nuvem</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Judith Hurwitz &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;InformationWeek EUA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Computação em nuvem tornou o caminho mais fácil para as empresas experimentarem e inovarem com a TI. A tendência é acelerar ainda mais no próximo ano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cloud computing não é mais uma curiosidade como acontecia alguns anos atrás. As empresas hoje estão cada vez mais olhando para a computação em nuvem como um componente integral de sua estratégia de computação. O raciocínio é claro. Empresas agora entendem que a nuvem oferece a possibilidade de ser capaz de mais, sem ter problemas com mudança da TI e sem perder tempo e despesa de instalação, configuração e implantação de novos sistemas. Muitas empresas estão descobrindo que é muito mais fácil para experimentar e inovar com cloud computing do que com modelos de computação tradicional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mas como em qualquer área emergente ainda é muito cedo para declarar vitória. Computação em nuvem é complicada em muitos aspectos. Enquanto 2011 foi o ano em que a nuvem tomou seu lugar como uma estratégia legítima, 2012 será o ano em que as empresas precisarão lidar com questões operacionais de cloud computing. Portanto, eu estou prevendo cinco grandes tendências para a nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1ª Grande Tendência: gerenciamento de serviços para nuvem se tornará um requisito para adoção.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Está se tornando evidente que as empresas não adotarão um modelo único de implantação da nuvem, mas usarão uma combinação de vários serviços de nuvem pública (incluindo software como um serviço, infraestrutura como um serviço, e plataforma como um serviço), serviços privados de cloud bem como seu ambiente de computação tradicional. Isto é verdade especialmente para as empresas do mid-market e grandes empresas. A capacidade de gerenciar este ambiente híbrido será a diferença entre o sucesso e o fracasso. Em 2012, os clientes começarão a planejar e implementar uma estratégia de gerenciamento de serviços para a nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2ª Grande Tendência: Cloud Security será ampliada para abranger privacidade, compliance e governança.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Executivos de empresas passaram a se preocupar com a segurança em nuvem desde o momento em que a Amazon começou a oferecer serviços de nuvem pública. Embora haja uma variedade de opiniões sobre o quão seguro são os serviços de cloud, não existe uma prática consistente relacionada com a segurança da nuvem. Isso irá mudar em 2012. Este será o ano em que TI e gestão de negócios vão começar a lidar com as sutilezas das regras de configuração e processos – que nuvens usar em determinadas circunstâncias. Por exemplo, as comunidades de nuvem aberta, com pouca segurança e sem governança, serão de valor limitado para as empresas que têm de cumprir com a indústria e exigências governamentais. Por outro lado, há um segmento emergente de ofertas de cloud pública destinado às empresas que querem um maior nível de segurança e governança. Cada vez mais, as organizações estão olhando para as nuvens privadas, já que a governança precisa ser rigorosamente aplicada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3ª GrandeTendência: O Acordo de Nível de Serviço torna-se um critério chave de compra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Embora a ideia de um acordo de nível de serviço não seja nova, ainda não é bem compreendida no contexto da computação em nuvem. Uma das mudanças mais importantes que espero em 2012 é que as empresas passem a ter um olhar muito mais duro com a forma como os prestadores de serviços em nuvem oferecem SLAs. Todos os provedores de cloud computing oferecem um acordo de nível de serviço mais contratual, mas a maioria deles ainda declara para proteger o vendedor ao invés do cliente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;4ª Grande Tendência: gestão empresarial volta sua atenção à segurança de grandes dados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;As empresas estão começando a adotar tecnologias que lhes permitam gerenciar e analisar grandes volumes de dados de fontes diferentes. Assim como a atenção para big data irá expandir em 2012, as preocupações em proteger a segurança e a integridade dessas fontes compostas de dados também irão ampliar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;5ª GrandeTendência: a nova definição do ambiente de computação muda as expectativas do cliente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Embora as organizações tenham se preocupado sempre com o desempenho de seus ambientes voltados para o cliente, o advento de modelos de computação em nuvem híbrida irá acrescentar o nível de urgência. Há uma diferença entre o nível de controle que tinha sobre o centro de dados e o controle de um ambiente híbrido que inclui serviços de cloud pública e privada (algumas aplicações de software como um serviço, a capacidade de demanda para os horários de pico, etc). As empresas vão exigir a capacidade de monitorar e medir o desempenho do ponto de vista da experiência do cliente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-6122177919494652530?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/6122177919494652530/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=6122177919494652530' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/6122177919494652530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/6122177919494652530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/5-grandes-tendencias-de-nuvem.html' title='5 grandes tendências de nuvem'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-827366488994220111</id><published>2011-12-27T14:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T14:07:24.642-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Tendencias'/><title type='text'>How Cloud Computing is Changing Many Job Descriptions</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;FORBES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;For senior-level executives, especially chief information officers, the changes reflect the more strategic role IT plays in the direction of businesses. For the business, it introduces more reliable and predictable supporting technology.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“For a long period of time, IT was in that Wild West mode,” Greg Shields, partner and principal technologist with Concentrated Technology, recently told Jason Helmick of Interface Technical Training. “We were making up the rules as we go.” But companies and their IT leaders recognize that the best and most cost-effective solutions are those that may have been built and tested elsewhere. “You don’t grow your own food. You don’t raise your own cows anymore for meat. You go to the grocery store because somebody’s figured out that I can create this experience that is the grocery store, and I can do it at a lower cost, both in time and in dollar cost.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The ability to identify and leverage resources –whether they come from the cloud or the company’s own data center — is becoming a key part of IT leaders’ responsibilities. The ability to introduce and develop valuable cloud computing engagements or infrastructure may even be the ticket to the corner office, as recently discussed in a study from CA Technologies. A majority of 685 CIOs surveyed, 54%, believe that cloud computing has enabled them to spend more time on business strategy and innovation. Approximately 71% who have adopted cloud computing see their position as a viable path to pursue other management roles, compared to only 44% of non-cloud adopting CIOs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Part of the challenge, however, will still be being able to bring in the skills that will make it all work. As Chuck Hollis, VP of global marketing CTO for EMC Corporation, put it in his blog post late last year: “If you’re an IT leader, you’ve got an interesting challenge on your hands. You most likely don’t have the right portfolio of end-state roles, skills and processes. And you are probably lacking the people with skills who can lead the change from present state to future state.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;As a result of the shift to cloud, there is growing demand for professionals and managers that are more focused on business development than they are in application development. There will be greater opportunities for enterprise architects, and some offshoots will include cloud architects, cloud capacity planners, cloud service managers and business solutions consultants. Jobs being created may not always bear the term “cloud” in their titles, but cloud will form the core of their job descriptions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Consider enterprise or business architects, for starters. This emerging discipline will help bridge the gap between IT and the business at a time when it could be extremely costly to have such a gap. “Business executive involvement will be especially helpful when outsourcing IT processes, such as cloud computing,” says Steve Nunn, COO of The Open Group and CEO of the Association of Enterprise Architects. Adding to Nunn’s thoughts, Kevin Daley of IBM and vice-chair of The Open Group Business Forum, says the enterprise architect will play a key role in bringing cloud into the business. “Cloud will help increase the speed of development and change. The business architect will be called upon to ensure the strategic relevancy of transformation in a repeatable fashion as cycle times and rollouts happen faster.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;EMC’s Hollis also pointed out that in many cases, managers and professionals working with cloud will be the “infrastructure enablers” – they will be charged with creating “the cloud-like environment that can support the next-gen processes and workflows that will be needed in this new environment. Implied in this work is re-orienting traditional and specific technology-oriented disciplines (e.g. storage, server, etc.) to the newworkflows and processes coming from the other side of the equation.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Software engineers appear to be in a good spot as a result of the growth of cloud. Consider the fact that earlier in 2011, CareerCast determined software engineers to be the best job to have in today’s economy, thanks in no small part to the rise of cloud computing: “A proliferation of companies making applications for smartphones and tablets, along with the push to develop ‘cloud’ software hosted entirely online, has made the job market for software engineers broader and more diverse.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A perusal through recent job openings provides a glimpse of the new emerging class of professionals and managers who will make IT happen in the years ahead. Here are just a few job titles and descriptions culled from recent help-wanted sites — note how much engagement there is with the business:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Cloud Specialist: This professional will “provide expertise, design, engineering, troubleshooting of the cloud environment, collaborate with project managers and engineers to ensure cloud computing best practices are followed and applied.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Cloud Computing Architect: “Serves a critical role to drive the architect/design and implementation for [our] cloud-based solutions. Drive the architecture/design and implementation to migrate [our product] to a cloud-based PaaS and SaaS product.

Mentor the team to adopt development and QA processes or best practices for cloud computing. Provide innovative idea or direction to [our] product.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Systems Engineer – Cloud Computing: “This individual will be a member of the system engineering team and will support an initiative to transition [federal agency] services to a cloud computing environment. The job will include developing the agency’s cloud computing strategy, cloud suitability assessment, and 3-5 year cloud computing plan for an environment that is comprised of programs that are safety critical (high RMA, security, and performance levels) and as well as administrative and support. Strong oral and written communication skills are necessary and individual who is self-motivated and eager to research and identify solutions critical to the public.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Lead Software Developer – Cloud Computing Focused: “This position is a great opportunity for someone who is motivated by building high business value applications and working with smaller teams to directly influence company growth. [We need] you to put your emerging cloud technologies skills to use designing and developing the next generation of software.

When all is said and done, it’s a cluster of machines, like any other supercomputer. But that virtual layer means something. This isn’t a supercomputer that Amazon uses for its own purposes. It’s a supercomputer that can be used by anyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Amazon is the poster child for the age of cloud computing. Alongside their massive e-tail business, Jeff Bezos and company have built a worldwide network of data centers that gives anyone instant access to computing resources, including not only virtual servers but virtual storage and all sorts of other services that can be accessed from any machine on the net. This global infrastructure is so large, it can run one of the fastest supercomputers on earth — even as it’s running thousands upon thousands of other virtual servers for the world’s businesses and developers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This not only shows the breadth of Amazon’s service. It shows that in the internet age, just about anyone can run a supercomputer-sized application without actually building a supercomputer. “If you wanted to spin up a ten or twenty thousand [processor] core cluster, you could do it with a single mouse click,” says Jason Stowe, the CEO of Cycle Computing, an outfit that helps researchers and businesses run supercomputing applications atop EC2. “Fluid dynamics simulations. Molecular dynamics simulations. Financial analysis. Risk analysis. DNA sequencing. All of those things can run exceptionally well atop the [Amazon EC2 infrastructure].”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;And you could do it for a pittance — at least compared to the cost of erecting your own supercomputer. This fall, Cycle Computing setup a virtual supercomputer for an unnamed pharmaceutical giant that spans 30,000 processor cores, and it cost $1,279 an hour. Stowe — who has spent more than two decades in the supercomputing game, working with supercomputers at Carnegie Mellon University and Cornell — says there’s still a need for dedicated supercomputers you install in your own data center, but things are changing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“I’ve been doing this kind of stuff for awhile,” he says, “and I think that five or 10 years from now, researchers won’t be worrying about administering their own clusters. They’ll be spinning up the infrastructure they need [from services like EC2] to answer the question they have. The days of having your own internal cluster are numbered.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;To Cloud or Not to Cloud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The old guard does not agree. Last month, during a round table discussion at the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco, many of the companies that help build the world’s supercomputers — including Cray and Penguin Computing — insisted that cloud services can’t match what you get from dedicated cluster when it comes to “high-performance computing,” or HPC. “Cloud for HPC is still hype,” said Charlie Wuischpard, the CEO of Penguin Computing. “You can do some wacky experiments to show you could use HPC in that environment, but it’s really not something you would use today.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;But it is being used today. And Amazon’s climb up the Top 500 supercomputer list shows that EC2 has the capacity to compete with at least the supercomputers that are built with ordinary microprocessors and other commodity hardware parts. “Rather than building your own cluster,” says Jack Dongarra, the University of Tennessee professor who oversees the annual list of the Top 500 supercomputers, “Amazon is an option.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Amazon’s virtual supercomputer wasn’t nearly as powerful as the massive computing clusters sitting at the peak of the Top 500. It could handle about 240 trillion calculations a second — aka 240 teraflops — while the machine at the top of the list, Japan’s K Computer, reaches 10 quadrillion calculations a second, or 10.51 petaflops. As Dongarra points out, clusters like the K Computer use specialized hardware you won’t find at Amazon or other supercomputers below, say, the top 25 on earth. “The top 25 are rather specialized machines,” Dongarra says. “They’re designed in some sense for a subset of very specialized applications.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;But according to Dongarra, you could still run these specialized applications atop Amazon. They just wouldn’t be quite as fast. And though some researchers and business need are looking for petaflops, others will do just fine with teraflops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Clouds Meet PODs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The irony is that Charlie Wuischpard and Penguin Computing actually offer their own online supercomputing service. They call it Penguin-On-Demand. But this is a little different from Amazon EC2. In essence, Penguin is offering remote access to a specific set of machines running in one of its data centers, whereas Amazon offers access to a virtual infrastructure that shared among everyone using the service. “[POD] is not a virtualized resource,” Wuischpard tells us. “It’s especially built for high-performance computing workloads. Amazon is now trying to add this sort of thing to their toolkit, if you will, but I still think we have a leg up on them.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The distinction between the two is rather difficult to get at. Ultimately, it comes down to two things: Penguin can tell you exactly where your application is running, and it has a long history with supercomputing. “There is a lot of difficulty in getting your application to run in the cloud,” Wuischpard says. “There’s network drivers and compilers and other stuff. You could figure out a lot of that on your own, but part of our aim with POD is to provide of expertise in building and running these machines to help our customers get on board and start using it.” According to Chuck Moore, a corporate fellow and technology group CTO at chip-designer Advanced Micro Devices, application will require a significant rewrite if you’re moving them from an old school supercomputer to a service like Amazon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Some operations do prefer Penguin’s service to Amazon. Earthtime — a company that offers 3-D maps of the world much like Google Street View offers 2-D images — uses POD to generate these 3-D models, and company founder and chief technology officer John Ristevski cites Penguin’s support as a reason his company doesn’t use Amazon. “You need a certain level of support, help with things like loading data off out disks and tweaking the performance of the cluster to suit our needs,” he tells Wired. “That’s not something we’ll ever get from Amazon. Amazon is never going to manage the distribution of the jobs or the processing itself, which is something that Penguin does.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;But with Amazon, a company like Cycle Computing can provide this sort of help, and even Penguin CEO Charlie Wuischpard acknowledges that the gap between Amazon and dedicated supercomputers is shrinking. Amazon built its virtual supercomputer for the Top 500 list as a way of announcing a new type of virtual server instance on EC2 that’s specifically designed for HPC applications. It’s unclear how Amazon ran its benchmark tests for the Top 500 List — the company did not respond to multiple requests for comment — but it looks like they ran the tests on a new cluster of physical machines before they were actually added to Amazon’s public service. Amazon previously offered instances for HPC applications, but these new CC2 instances are even beefier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Spin Up, Spin Down&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The point is that Amazon is an option. And it’s a rather convenient option. For Jason Stowe, the CEO of Cycle Computing, the idea of building 30,000-core supercomputer with no hardware that costs just $1,279 an hour to run is something that can’t be ignored. “It’s just absurd,” he says. “If you created a 30,000-core cluster in a data center, that would cost you $5 million, $10 million, and you’d have to pick a vendor, buy all the hardware, wait for it to come, rack it, stack it, cable it, and actually get it working. You’d have to wait six months, 12 months before you go it running.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;And by that time, he says, your application may have changed. “Your question may have evolved since you first provisioned your infrastructure,” Stowe says. “You may need more than 30,000 cores.” The added twist is that after you spin up 30,000 machines on Amazon, you can just as easily spin them down when you don’t need them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Stowe agrees that Amazon isn’t for everyone. He acknowledges that Amazon’s virtualization layer may put a real drag on certain applications — a dedicated supercomputer runs without virtualization — but he says there are far more applications that will run just fine on a cloud service. And any drag will be much less than the six to 12 months it would take to build a supercomputer — not to mention the expense. “Your application may run 5 percent slower,” he says. “But you’re still getting access to world-class compute power.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-4017726157924387631?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/4017726157924387631/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=4017726157924387631' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4017726157924387631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4017726157924387631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/amazon-builds-worlds-fastest.html' title='Amazon Builds World’s Fastest Nonexistent Supercomputer'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-4032650055925529756</id><published>2011-12-24T20:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T20:38:59.063-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Blades'/><title type='text'>Cisco Announces Industry-Leading TPC-C and TPC-H Benchmark Performance on Cisco UCS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Girish Kulkarni &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cisco continues its performance leadership with the announcement of its inaugural TPC-C and TPC-H benchmark results on the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS™) platform .

Cisco’s industry-leading TPC-C result asserts both performance and price/performance leadership. A Cisco UCS C250 M2 Extended- Memory Rack-Mount server achieved 1,053,100 transactions per minute (tpmC) in the standard TPC-C benchmark, with a price/performance ratio of $0.58 USD per tpmC, exceeding the fastest two-socket HP ProLiant DL380 G7 result by 2.8 percent in performance, at a 11 percent lower price/performance ratio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Please check the “Cisco UCS Demonstrates TPC-C Performance and Price/Performance Leadership” Performance brief for benchmark configuration details.

Mas se você deseja liberar recursos para outras prioridades, é preciso mudar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Substituir os gastos das operações de negócios da TI por inovação deve ser o objetivo chave de todos os CIOs. Uma maneira de fazer isso é ter um data center altamente virtualizado. Mas a TI não garantirá a eficiência e o ganho pessoal, nem mesmo a redução de custos da virtualização.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Começamos a passar a mensagem: 36% dos 345 profissionais de tecnologia que participaram de uma pesquisa já usam ferramentas de automação de processos, enquanto 32% têm um projeto de implementação em andamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;De acordo com 25% dos entrevistados que têm o processo totalmente implantado, o impacto da automação é uma resposta mais rápida às solicitações de serviço. Outros citaram a redução de erros e de mudança do pessoal para novas atividades – o que significa a liberação da TI para se concentrar em projetos de maior valor. Poupar dinheiro, porém, pode ser evasivo: apenas 11% fazem corte de pessoal e 5% citam a redução de custos como um dos principais efeitos da automação de processos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A pesquisa aponta ainda que um novo interesse em automação está sendo guiado pela nuvem privada, sem ela, a TI não é capaz de entregar uma base de dados altamente flexível e escalável. Ambientes de nuvem pública, em contrapartida, acrescentam complexidade na automação de processos, mas a tecnologia cloud-broker, um tipo de provedor de serviços que tende a ser intermediário entre automação e cloud computing, oferece uma solução potencial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A dificuldade que a TI enfrenta com projetos de automação dependerá, em grande parte, de seus sistemas: quanto mais padronização, mais fácil será a automação. Muitas aplicações internas e complicados workflows irão aumentar a dificuldade. No entanto, ainda vale a pena persistir. Os líderes de TI devem ter uma melhor aderência sobre os desafios estratégicos como uma melhor governança e integração da nuvem. As equipes de tecnologia podem identificar, ao mesmo tempo, projetos de pequena escala para ganhos rápidos em até 90 dias, assim como a integração de processos de contratação e demissão com o Active Directory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O Mandato de Governança&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Automação deve começar com governança – um processo para alinhar a TI e as prioridades de negócios e, em seguida, garantir que a execução siga um processo bem definido. Apenas 45% dos profissionais de TI que utilizam ou pretendem implantar ferramentas de automação de TI dizem que a governança é extremamente importante, isso é desanimador. Esse número deveria ser maior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A estrutura da governança, assim como Six Sigma, ISO 9001, ITIL e CMMI, pode proporcionar um avanço significativo na padronização e formalização dos processos. Mas, essa estrutura não vai satisfazer todas as necessidades da TI, porém, podem reduzir significativamente o tempo para estabelecer o processo das áreas centrais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dois grandes candidatos para automação são a configuração e a gestão da mudança. Automatizá-los pode ajudar a reduzir erros na infraestrutura e eliminar uma grande quantidade de esforço manual para manter os sistemas em funcionamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-2032389526606554045?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/2032389526606554045/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=2032389526606554045' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2032389526606554045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2032389526606554045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/automacao-de-datacenters-hora-de-mudar.html' title='Automação de DATACENTERS : Hora de Mudar !'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-852728492558445943</id><published>2011-12-24T10:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T10:01:18.435-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-VISÃO GERAL'/><title type='text'>10 mudanças que a nuvem trará em 2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital :: Fábio Barros &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2011 será lembrado como o ano da computação em nuvem, já que foi o ano em que o conceito se energizou e ganhou o mercado. A abordagem em nuvem foi adotada por várias organizações e muitos fornecedores já garantiram seu lugar no jogo. Mas o que virá em 2012? A computação em nuvem vai se tornar um meio aceitável de adquirir serviços de TI e aplicativos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Apesar disso, empresas zelosas de seus orçamentos ainda vão querer ver o valor do conceito, e o passe que ele recebeu este ano por ser tão novo e diferente estará vencendo. Por conta disso, é tempo de avaliar o que o ano que vem pode trazer ao mercado:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1 – Cloud deixará de ser um termo de diferenciação – o mercado chegará ao ponto em que cloud será simplesmente aceito como uma plataforma de entrega de aplicações e serviços. O conceito estará mais forte que nunca mas, ironicamente, não será mais encarado como uma quebra de paradigma. A expectativa é que, por conta disso, os fornecedores de TI comecem a criar novos termos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2 – muitas empresas vão seguir o exemplo de governos federais de adotar uma política “cloud first” – no último ano, como parte de um esforço para reduzir o orçamento de TI em US$ 80 bilhões, o governo norte-americano determinou que todas as agências deveriam considerar primeiro as opções de computação em nuvem para seus projetos. Reconhecendo o sucesso da medida, e sua adoção massiva, as empresas vão adotar suas próprias abordagens “cloud first” quando considerarem a compra de novos sistemas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3 – a pressão fará aumentar demonstrações de ROI em cloud – mesmo a adoção da abordagem “cloud first” pelo mercado corporativo não vai tirar a pressão pela demonstração do retorno sobre o investimento feito em nuvem. O mundo tradicional de TI sempre trabalhou assim e, por algum tempo, deixou que os projetos em nuvens – tão novos e inovadores – passassem em branco. Com a nuvem tornando-se normal, isso deve acabar. Parte do cálculo deverá levar em conta provisões para continuidade de negócios. O ponto é: cloud computing será usada para gerar valor ao negócio, não por modismo, e em muitos casos, não será a abordagem mais eficiente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;4 - as nuvens privadas vão crescer mais rápido que as nuvens públicas – muitas empresas, especialmente aquelas com grandes estruturas de TI ou ativos de dados sensíveis, estão descobrindo que vale a pena adotar o modelo de cloud para entregar seus próprios aplicativos internos como serviço. Como a virtualização continua crescendo, as oportunidades para a criação de nuvens privadas crescerão também. Aplicativos internos serão entregues por meio de serviços em nuvem exclusivos do negócio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;5 – as nuvens privadas vão ampliar o papel da TI nos negócios – as organizações não apenas confiam na TI para operar, mas a veem como uma estratégia chave para o crescimento em uma economia global super competitiva. Enquanto terão menos tempo para gerenciar suas próprias infraestruturas, os executivos e gerentes de TI serão chamados a opinar e guiar suas empresas neste novo território. Parte da nova proposição de valor da TI será ver o próprio negócio crescendo como provedor em nuvem, mesmo que não esteja diretamente relacionado à tecnologia.&lt;br /&gt;6 – os departamentos de TI serão facilitadores e concorrentes dos provedores de nuvens públicas – as organizações agora podem escolher onde comprar serviços de TI: de seus próprios departamentos de TI ou de provedores externos. Enquanto muitos executivos de TI vão assumir o papel de conselheiros sobre estas decisões, seus departamentos terão que fornecer bons business cases para provar que seus serviços são melhores, em custo e oferta de valor. Muitas empresas vão usar um mix de serviços internos e externos, e os departamentos de TI terão que competir por estes contratos. Por outro lado, eles também poderão oferecer seus serviços para outras empresas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;7 – a separação entre provedores de serviços e clientes não será tão nítida – em muitos casos, as empresas serão ambos. Com o crescimento das nuvens privadas, muitas empresas vão desenvolver e oferecer seus serviços ao mercado. Hoje isso é visto no modelo de lojas de aplicativos, onde os desenvolvedores de software conseguem obter uma receita considerável com a publicação de aplicativos na nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;8 – nuvens públicas começarão a ser vistas como mais seguras que os sistemas on-premise – a segurança dos dados tem sido vista como o maior desafio para o uso de nuvens externas, mas isso começa a mudar. Já é possível encontrar CIOs que reconhecem que um provedor bem treinado e em conformidade com SAS-70 pode cuidar de seus dados melhor que sua estrutura e equipe, que precisam ser sempre atualizados em procedimentos e protocolos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;9 - o crescimento econômico vai acelerar a criação de mais negócios na nuvem – a disponibilidade de recursos computacionais baratos em nuvem provavelmente dará início a um boom de startups, de um modo nunca visto antes. O desenvolvimento de novos produtos, sem a necessidade da aprovação dos departamentos financeiro e de TI, são um bom meio de estimular o espírito empreendedor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;10 – a nuvem vai mudar o modelo de terceirização – com mais empresas adotando princípios e práticas SOA, a terceirização deverá se tornar uma opção mais simples e gerenciável. Ao mesmo tempo, haverá poucos acordos multimilionários, onde estruturas inteiras de TI serão entregues a terceiros. Uma forma mais modularizada de terceirização vai ganhar espaço por conta da padronização de serviços e componentes em nuvem, o que tornará mais fácil terceirizar pedaços da estrutura. Como resultado, o mercado verá mais “micro outsourcing” e menos acordos milionários.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-852728492558445943?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/852728492558445943/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=852728492558445943' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/852728492558445943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/852728492558445943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/10-mudancas-que-nuvem-trara-em-2012.html' title='10 mudanças que a nuvem trará em 2012'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-6003347717981044094</id><published>2011-12-24T09:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T10:02:05.217-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-VISÃO GERAL'/><title type='text'>A hora de CLOUD COMPUTING nos governos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital &lt;br /&gt;Os cidadãos de hoje estão procurando, de forma proativa, engajamento com marcas, produtos e empresas nas redes sociais e, do mesmo modo, buscam também engajar-se com os governos de seus países. No entanto, muitos governos da região Ásia/Pacífico estão postergando suas iniciativas de interação online com os cidadãos até que se definam políticas claras de segurança. E se isso é uma realidade na região mais usuária de TI, serve de alerta para países em desenvolvimento, entre eles, o Brasil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Esta foi uma das constatações do estudo “Asia/Pacific Government Insights 2012 Top 10 Predictions”, divulgado pela IDC Government Insights, nesta segunda-feira, 05/12. A pesquisa apresenta também algumas previsões para o setor governamental na região e dá claros sinais que a vertical governo no Brasil precisa se adiantar e correr contra o tempo perdido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Enquanto mantêm suas atenções voltadas para os riscos de segurança até que regras e políticas sejam definidas, os governos esquecem que a interação online com os cidadãos será crítica para atender à crescente demanda por serviços públicos. Ignorar isso agora pode não ser bom em longo prazo", afirma Frank Levering, gerente de pesquisas da IDC Government Insights para a região Ásia/Pacífico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Entre as previsões fornecidas pelo estudo, alguns temas se destacam. O instituto de pesquisas espera que a segurança em TI seja uma commodity em 2012, e que qualquer discussão com entidades governamentais sobre soluções de TIC já tenham um componente de segurança elaborado. Ironicamente, tanto fornecedores quanto representantes de governos não parecem estar preparados para esta conversa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O uso de infraestrutura em nuvem e plataformas de decisão estão bem encaminhados em países maduros. Já as nações em desenvolvimento, por outro lado, devem usar as soluções em cloud para ganhar escala rapidamente em suas ofertas de TIC. Finalmente, a IDC espera que a região - que teve sua quota de acidentes naturais recentemente, entre eles, o forte terremoto no Japão - comece a implantar iniciativas de cidades inteligentes, como resposta dos governos à necessidade de limitar o impacto de desastres e, ao mesmo tempo, gerenciar seus efeitos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Com os resultados da pesquisa, a IDC elaborou as seguintes previsões, que devem auxiliar fornecedores e decisores do setor governamental nos próximos meses:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1 – segurança da informação será um componente crítico nas compras governamentais;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2 – a interação proativa entre governos e cidadãos por meio de redes sociais populares deixará de ser novidade para se tornar necessidade;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3 - os gastos e investimentos governamentais não serão significativamente afetados pela crise nos Estados Unidos e na Europa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;4 – governos maduros vão investir significativamente em IaaS (infraestrutura como serviço) como preparação para a era da nuvem;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;5 – os governos vão monitorar de perto as melhores práticas de cloud usadas no setor público em todo mundo para definir seu próprio roadmap de desenvolvimento;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;6 – Software como serviço (SaaS) e plataforma como serviço (PaaS) verão uma forte adoção mista nos setores público e privado;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;7 – os aplicativos governamentais vão deixar de ser mecanismos de entrega focados na informação e de apenas uma via para tornarem-se ferramentas de interação e serviços, de duas vias, para os cidadãos;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;8 – iniciativas de banda larga nacional vão envolver o setor de educação.

Hoje, a companhia tem em cloud os ambientes de desenvolvimento, homologação e produção do SAP All in One e também a solução fiscal Synchro. Também na nuvem estão os bancos de dados das duas aplicações: SQL Server Enterprise para SAP e Oracle para Synchro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Alex Tabor, um dos sócios do site de compras coletivas, explica que a opção pela nuvem se deu basicamente por conta de custo e escalabilidade. “Em relação ao custo, iniciamos o negócio sem saber se teria ou não sucesso. Estávamos testando o modelo e não fazia sentido investir em estrutura”, afirma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Tabor revela que, na verdade, o Peixe Urbano foi a segunda tentativa de uma lista de cinco potenciais negócios que ele e seus sócios estavam testando. “O primeiro não deu certo. O Peixe Urbano foi nosso segundo piloto, e deu certo”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Além do custo, a escolha pela nuvem se deu também por conta da escalabilidade. Caso desse certo – o que acabou ocorrendo – o negócio precisaria de estruturas de TI cada vez maiores. “Tanto foi assim que, da criação do site até hoje, conseguimos escalar o site sem migrar ou reescrever códigos”, afirma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Não por acaso, o site tem hoje 15 milhões de usuários de 70 cidades do Brasil, Argentina e Chile, tendo comercializado mais de 10 milhões de cupons de desconto. Segundo Tabor, o modelo de cloud computing é decisivo para o negócio, que se baseia em ações pontuais de marketing que, na maioria das vezes, exige capacidade extra de processamento por períodos determinados de tempo. “A estrutura que temos hoje em nuvem aguenta um aumento de tráfego de até 1.000% de um dia para o outro”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Gestão&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;É justamente essa variação e o crescimento repentino que exige maior controle. Rodolpho Gurgel, diretor de novos negócios e parcerias e responsável pelo projeto SAP na empresa, lembra que o Peixe Urbano fecha dois mil novos contratos mensalmente. “Isso gera um grande volume de transações financeiras que devem ser monitoradas e controladas”, diz, lembrando que a abertura de operações na Argentina e no México, e a entrada de investidores externos, aumentaram ainda mais a necessidade de controle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Com o SAP All in One, a expectativa de Gurgel é que o Peixe Urbano adquira total capacidade de gestão em seu principais direcionadores estratégicos, que são: crescimento rápido com sustentabilidade; governança sem perda de agilidade; flexibilidade para adoção de novos processos, criação de novas operações e novos cenários; e incremento do valor percebido da empresa. “Devemos ganhar agilidade no back office e passar a contar com dados financeiros e contábeis mais confiáveis e, principalmente, mais fáceis de extrair para a preparação de relatórios”, afirma o executivo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Além disso, Gurgel lembra que o processo de implementação foi importante para a definição dos processos internos da companhia. “A empresa é muito nova, e muitos dos processos que estamos implantando agora ainda não estavam consolidados”, diz. Por outro lado, ele reconhece que o fato da companhia não contar com sistemas legados tem sido um fator positivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-7906182999552743109?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/7906182999552743109/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=7906182999552743109' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7906182999552743109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7906182999552743109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/peixe-urbano-elege-computacao-na-nuvem.html' title='Peixe Urbano elege computação na nuvem como pilar de TI'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-7669028676201533680</id><published>2011-12-21T10:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-21T10:16:49.930-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-VISÃO GERAL'/><title type='text'>Quando estar na nuvem é imperativo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;CIOs brasileiros revelam as estratégias adotadas para implementação de cloud como diferencial competitivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Solange Calvo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Adotar cloud computing não é mais uma questão de sim ou não. Trata-se agora de quando e como. Ainda que o ceticismo ronde as decisões, estudos revelam que executivos de TI já compraram a ideia de usar o conceito. Pesam na balança se aplicações de missão crítica devem ir para a nuvem, o modelo a ser adotado [se público ou privado], a segurança da informação, a gestão fora de casa, a precária infraestrutura de telecomunicações do País, e outros fatores em discussão, próprios de desenhos tecnológicos em amadurecimento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na visão de CIOs de empresas atuantes em variados setores da economia, entrevistados para esta reportagem, ingressar no mundo da computação em nuvem com confiança depende da estratégia traçada por cada uma das companhias, do seu tipo de negócio e do planejamento. Todos eles têm em mente que com a aplicação na nuvem e a estratégia na mão, é possível colher bons frutos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na Andrade Gutierrez, esse tema não é novidade. Cibele Fonseca, gerente de TI da construtora, diz que o ingresso em nuvem privada por lá aconteceu há cinco anos. Segundo ela, todas as obras acessam ambientes críticos da companhia [entre eles produção e ERP] por meio de cloud. “E estamos estudando a migração de operações de homologação e teste para o modelo público, para eliminarmos os gastos com infraestrutura para esses ambientes”, diz. A gerente entende que o modelo privado é o melhor caminho para chegar ao público. “Ganhamos experiência interna, fazendo testes, para colocar na nuvem pública alguns ambientes que não sejam críticos.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O conceito também já é velho conhecido na empresa de transportes Águia Branca. É usado desde 2006. Como é um grupo composto por quatro unidades de negócios distintos [logística, comércio, transporte de passageiros rodoviários e transporte de passageiros aéreos], dependendo da área de atuação de cada companhia, o modelo pode ser público ou privado. “A TI fornece serviços e soluções para cada uma das unidades do grupo. Administramos cerca de 60 projetos ao longo do ano. Para facilitar a entrega, criamos uma cloud privada para atender aos clientes internos. Todos os sistemas e serviços são acessados por meio dela, de qualquer lugar”, diz Aldo Zuquini Júnior, gerente de TI da Águia Branca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A nuvem pública é usada pelo grupo, na empresa de transporte aéreo Trip. Lá, todas as aplicações de missão crítica estão em cloud, rodando em data center baseado em Dallas, nos Estados Unidos. “Venda de bilhetes, controle de disponibilidade de assentos, operações comerciais, preços, valores, tarifas, tudo isso está na nuvem”, garante o executivo. Mas, segundo ele, as duas nuvens [privada e pública] não se comunicam. A integração entre elas, porém, não está fora dos planos, formando um modelo híbrido. “Pode acontecer, para facilitar uma série de processos. Mas vamos estudar.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Missão crítica na nuvem pública também não é impedimento para a TAM. Todo o negócio está nesse modelo. Para Marcos Roberto Teixeira, diretor de TI da companhia aérea, cloud mudou radicalmente a forma de entregar e de adquirir serviços e soluções de TI na empresa. “Em um mercado como o nosso, tempo é altamente crítico e a cloud nos dá a agilidade de que necessitamos”, destaca, acrescentando que há dois anos, toda a plataforma de reserva de passagens, vendas, atendimento e check-in migrou para o modelo de software como serviço (SaaS).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Teixeira faz questão de ressaltar a tranquilidade que o modelo proporciona em ocasiões nevrálgicas como em campanhas de promoção de passagens, que poderia ser o caos se tivessem de lidar com expansão de infraestrutura interna para atender à alta demanda. “E depois ficar com ela ociosa em momentos fora do pico”, diz. O executivo da TAM não tem dúvidas de que a nuvem está no centro da estratégia, que possibilita administrar o transporte de mais de 34 milhões de passageiros por ano, que se distribuem pelos mais de 900 voos realizados diariamente pela companhia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Bruno Arrial dos Anjos, analista sênior de mercado da IDC Brasil, divulga que em estudo realizado pela consultoria com 110 empresas de grande porte, em 2010, entre as que já usavam algum tipo de solução na nuvem, 86% aderiram à modalidade de software como serviço (SaaS). Entre os aplicativos campeões de audiência estão e-mail, CRM e ERP. Este último é usado no modelo SaaS há sete anos pela companhia de energia Guascor. Os seus cinco maiores fornecedores oferecem ao menos um serviço de cloud no modelo SaaS, segundo Eduardo Vargas, gerente de TI da empresa. “Cloud amadureceu muito neste último ano. E somos exemplo de usuários de uma aplicação de missão crítica na nuvem. E recentemente migramos para a cloud a base de e-mails e servidores de colaboração”, afirma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Além de todas as atividades na nuvem, o fato de não ter de investir em infraestrutura, e não mais se preocupar com atualizações e gestão, liberou o executivo para atividades mais nobres. “Desliguei-me da evolução tecnológica da infraestrutura. Hoje, nossas reuniões não descem mais a detalhes da tecnologia. Elas passaram a ser mais estratégicas, focadas no business”, relata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Fernando Birman, diretor de Sistemas da Informação para América Latina da Rhodia, e Cibele, da Andrade Gutierrez, também destacam a vantagem proporcionada pela nuvem de dedicarem-se mais ao business do que a questões básicas de tecnologia. Eles acreditam que o conceito também impulsiona projetos de TI, visto que ao não ter de investir em infraestrutura e atualizações, podem direcionar esforços para novas iniciativas da companhia, que favoreçam resultados de negócios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O fantasma da insegurança&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O ERP roda na cloud, em data center no sul da Califórnia, nos Estados Unidos, diz José Pereira Brito, CIO do Mackenzie, para quem a nuvem já figura na estratégia da instituição de ensino há 12 anos, na modalidade SaaS. “Em 2003, colocamos todos os colégios na web, os alunos entraram na era virtual, logo depois colocamos toda a universidade em cloud privada, mas temos algumas aplicações acadêmicas na pública”, diz. “Hoje, vivenciamos o conceito de Todos 100% na web. Os alunos têm acesso às bibliotecas digitais, de qualquer lugar, e uma série de outras facilidades”, acrescenta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mas nem tudo está definido em relação ao conceito. Para Brito, ainda é necessário o amadurecimento. O Mackenzie também precisa avaliar a expansão do uso no modelo público. Ele acredita que essa modalidade irá crescer muito, à medida que forem resolvidas questões relacionadas à legislação, segurança e infraestrutura nacional de telecomunicações. “Existem aplicações como ensino a distância que irão impulsionar o uso em nosso segmento e vamos expandi-las, alocando parte aqui e parte lá fora”, pontua. “Se eu fosse fornecedor de cloud, ao fazer uma oferta, já traria boas respostas para questões mais críticas, como as referentes à legislação, contingência, entre outras”, sugere Brito. “Além disso, o problema da infraestrutura precária de telecomunicações, que não oferece garantias de disponibilidade, contribui para agravar a insegurança”, afirma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cibele aponta outras preocupações recorrentes. Em sua avaliação, não basta um bom contrato com o fornecedor para ter total confiança. “Como os serviços serão geridos? Com quem será compartilhado o ambiente? Onde ficarão as informações? Como será a metodologia de segurança do ambiente contratado?” Tudo isso precisa ser considerado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Há realmente grande preocupação com a segurança, especialmente em empresas em que a privacidade é crítica para o negócio, diz Birman. “Nesse caso, o melhor é decidir o que deve ou não ficar na nuvem.” O executivo afirma que o importante é saber que a migração para a cloud deve estar apoiada em um objetivo de negócio e a partir daí buscar soluções. Segundo ele, a decisão de uso de cloud não pode ser colocada à frente das análises e avaliações de riscos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O executivo de TI da Águia Branca acredita que tudo é uma questão de avaliação, em que entram em jogo a área de atuação da empresa e, em especial, o momento. “Se a companhia está em fase de alavancagem muito forte, talvez seja mais acertado optar pelo modelo de contratação de host dedicado, para que tenha rapidamente infraestrutura para atender ao crescimento.” Ele diz ser natural temer deixar o controle para terceiros, mas questiona: “Quem garante que o data center interno é plenamente seguro? A preocupação com a segurança é a mesma dentro ou fora da nuvem.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na Ultragaz, aplicações de missão crítica não irão para a nuvem. É o que afirma o gerente de TI da Ultragaz, Jeferson Chitero. “Na minha visão, tudo o que é commodity pode rodar em um lugar que não sabemos, o que interessa é o resultado final. Mas não as aplicações do core business da empresa”, afirma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Claudio Soutto Mayor, líder da área de consultoria de TI da Deloitte, diz que grande parte do medo em relação do conceito vem da falta conhecimento. Mas que o ano de 2011 foi de aprendizado, com explosão de palestras e variados eventos sobre o tema. “Por avaliação, acredito que 2012, com os executivos de TI entendendo mais sobre cloud, poderão adotar o conceito com mais segurança.

The system, which breaks new ground in the effort to pack massive computing power into smaller spaces, will get its first test drive at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Palo Alto, Calif.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Average server racks in most data centers use between 4 kilowatts (kW) and 8 kW of power. Cloud computing and high-performance computing (HPC) centers feature denser infrastructures of 12kW to 20 kW and more. The new blade chassis promises to push the boundaries of high-density computing to 80kW to 100kW per rack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Perhaps most intriguing: the system requires only a 480V power source, and a water supply, with no chillers and minimal cooling infrastructure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Changing the Data Center Dynamic”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“If we are successful, then the whole dynamic of data center deployment could change,” said Phil Hughes, CEO and founder of Clustered Systems. “A user can put a system anywhere there is power. No special facilities are required. All investment can go into compute and not have to be shared with bricks and mortar.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The new blades build on Clustered Systems’ success in a 2010 “chill-off” in which its technology proved more efficient than existing cooling products from major data center vendors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;They key to the system’s density is a fanless cooling system using a cold plate, which contains a tubing system filled with liquid refrigerant. By removing fans and dedicating more power to processors, the Clustered Systems design can support unusual power densities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The refrigerant system includes a pumping unit and heat exchanger, in which the refrigerant interacts with a water loop. In testing, the system has continued working with water temperatures as high as 78 degrees, meaning it can operate without a chiller, according to Hughes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“It is expected that the initial deployment will be cooled with tower water or with return water from upstream legacy cooling systems,” he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Consortium of Partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In 2010 Clustered Systems partnered with Emerson Network Power on the Liebert XDS system, which used cold plates on server trays in a 1U rackmount design. The installation at SLAC adapts the technology for blade servers, which can be challenging to cool due to the way they concentrate processing and power consumption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Each chassis takes up 8 rack units and includes 16 blades, each with two cold plates for heat removal, and a 20kW power distribution unit. Five of the 8U chassis can fit in a rack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The blade server chassis was jointly developed by a group of companies including Clustered Systems, Intel, Emerson Network Power, Panduit, OSS (One Stop Systems, Inc.), Smart Modular and Inforce. The system development was funded by $3 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and California Energy Commission.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“The efficiency of the Clustered Systems’ cooling system supports the greatest level of density and performance we’ve seen so far, and it has the legs to support several more product generations,” said Dr. Stephen Wheat, Senior Director of Intel High Performance Computing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;System Overview&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The cooling system uses Emerson Network Power’s Liebert XD pumped refrigerant cooling products. Emerson also designed and built the system rack, which features a NetSure DC power system which converts 480V AC power to 380V DC power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The 380V DC will then pass to a Panduit unit in each enclosure which controls power delivery to each blade. “The concept of a power plane manufactured into the cabinet can be a source of improved efficiency in the data center,” said Jack Tison CTO, Panduit, Inc. The 380V DC is then converted to 12V DC at the chassis level.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The dual CPU modules use PCI express as the system interconnect for its network, which was developed by One Stop Systems. “All blades in a system communicate with each other at 40Gb/s over PCI Express (PCIe), increasing the overall performance of the system,”said Stephen Cooper, CEO of OSS. “By utilizing the inherent functionality of PCIe over cable, we’ve designed switch blades and large 40-port switches that provide complete non-blocking communication at previously unheard of performance rates.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In the chassis, each blade houses two motherboards, each with two processors from the future Intel Xeon E5 family. The motherboards were designed by Inforce. The DIMM memory modules were designed as a cooperative effort between SMART Modular and Clustered. “These modules are a derivative of standard DIMMs and include an optimized heatsink design that creates an efficient and cost effective method to transfer heat from the DIMMs to the cold plate,” said Mike Rubino SMART Modular’s VP of Engineering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;First Deployment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The first two racks are scheduled to be installed at Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) within the next few months. For the cooling system, SLAC will use cooling water exiting from existing IT equipment or directly from a cooling tower.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“We are very excited to be chosen as the first deployment site,” said Norm Ringold, Head of IT Operations and Infrastructure, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. “The estimated 50 Teraflops per rack will add considerably to our compute capacity,”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Clustered Systems has not announced detailed pricing, but says it will be “highly competitive with other POD and container based systems.” The company says a 3.2 megawatt data center using the new blade chassis could cost as little as $9.2 million, or about $3 million per megawatt of critical load. Industry experts new data center construction costs about $10 million to $15 million per megawatt on average, with hyper-scale projects like those at Google and Yahoo slashing that to $5 million per megawatt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hughes says the target market will begin on a slightly smaller scale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“The ideal customer will have need for HPC but no data center space to house it,” he said. “Typical customers could be academic department heads with money for hardware but not for infrastructure, or high frequency traders wanting to maximize crunch power in a very small allocated space. Longer term, we also expect to address cloud computing, which has much the same requirements as HPC.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-4016780721243299301?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/4016780721243299301/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=4016780721243299301' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4016780721243299301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4016780721243299301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/100-kw-in-single-cabinet.html' title='100 KW in a RACK'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_biXytMISYM/Tu0n4u_zl_I/AAAAAAAADew/3y3_O6Qq5Wg/s72-c/blade.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-4730037428551692133</id><published>2011-12-17T11:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T11:37:22.754-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Tendencias'/><title type='text'>2012 Top 10 trends  –  (David Cappuccio)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1. Evolution of virtualization (don’t save money but get more agility and flexibility and control), now client virtualization focused. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2. Patterns and analytics (80% of data is unstructured data, analysis to look at patterns to gain a competitive advantage. Data growing 800% in 5 years). The “Collective” driving decision-making, such as sites like Yelp. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3. Control data center energy efficiency and monitoring. Company using this to market social responsibility. Bringing facilities and IT together. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;4. Context aware computing. Providing info based on what you think they need to know based on the situation. Create mobile apps to deliver that. Search Twitter for what’s happening now. Search Google for what has already happened. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;5. Think about IT staff. T shaped. Tech breadth (value to business) vs tech depth (value to IT group). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;6. Social networking. 1.9 billion citizens (33% Facebook), twitter accounts grew 50%. Can’t ignore it. Embrace it. Use “Collective” to gain competitive advantage. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;7. Consumerization of IT is inevitable. Especially tablets. Doesn’t replace PC but there are use cases. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;8. Compute and Data Center density. What if you did a tech refresh sooner and to take advantage of the density. Smaller footprint assuming you solve cabling. No need for more floor space. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;9. Cloud computing. What can be offloaded to the cloud (not mission critical) and what to keep in the Data Center. Or turn your Data Center into private cloud. IT becomes service provider to the business. Public cloud becomes IT competition. Use hybrid cloud. IT retains control because both are used to deliver timely business value. It’s not perfect, but good enough now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;10.

Agora, dos chamados gigantes, apenas o Google permanece sem base local.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A quinta-feira, 15/12, marca dois movimentos relevantes em cloud em infraestrutura e serviços. Depois de muita expectativa, a varejista virtual norte-americana Amazon formaliza a sua presença no país, e se prepara para enfrentar os tradicionais rivais do segmento, além das grandes empresas de TI como HP, IBM e Microsoft que também jogam suas fichas em cloud computing e ampliam seus aportes no país, atentas ao momento de fidelização de clientes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;As movimentações comprovam tão somente que, mesmo com a crise financeira mundial, o mercado de data center ficou extremamente aquecido, ratificando as previsões feitas pela Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan de um crescimento de 13% em 2011, com um faturamento previsto para US$ 1,4 bilhão. Mas não é apenas em infraestrutura que há uma grande busca por novos negócios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na área de serviços, SaaS - software como serviço - movimenta o mercado. A Globalweb, joint venture criada em agosto pelo grupo TBA e Benner Sistemas, foi às compras e adquiriu a Compusoftware, tradicional parceira da Microsoft. Os valores da transação não foram revelados pelas partes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ideia da compra, que não teve valores revelados é posicionar da Globalweb como um shopping de produtos e serviços de tecnologia da informação para empresas de todos os portes. Nessa estratégia, a Compusoftware oferecerá desde as soluções tradicionais da Microsoft (contratos de licenciamento para grandes volumes) até a plataforma Azure, para cloud computing (computação em nuvem). A empresa é um dos nove parceiros Cloud Accelerate da Microsoft no país. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-1786811821367415123?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/1786811821367415123/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=1786811821367415123' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/1786811821367415123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/1786811821367415123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/brasil-vive-bom-momento-em-cloud.html' title='Brasil vive bom momento em CLOUD COMPUTING'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-204706508329913569</id><published>2011-12-17T01:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T01:04:04.341-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-IaaS'/><title type='text'>Business Continuity é aposta da Dedalus na nuvem</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Dedalus, provedora de soluções baseadas em cloud computing, acaba de anunciar o Dedalus Business Continuity Services, que oferece projetos personalizados de continuidade de negócios utilizando as soluções da Amazon Web Services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O Dedalus Business Continuity Services, segundo Mauricio Fernandes, presidente da Dedalus, combina serviços e produtos em cloud computing que permitem às empresas criar e manter um ambiente de continuidade para os negócios pagando apenas pelo uso, sem custo de ociosidade, garantindo acesso móvel a todos os usuários durante um período de contingência. “O nosso serviço visa resolver as possíveis contingências e entregar um projeto imediato e plano de business continuity ao cliente a preços acessíveis a todas as empresas, independente de seu tamanho”, destaca. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O serviço foi planejado para viabilizar planos de continuidade de negócios seguros e eficazes sem gastos com recursos duplicados que ficam ociosos na maior parte do tempo. Segundo Fernandes, a ideia atende à crescente procura por soluções de alta disponibilidade. “A Dedalus diagnostica as necessidades de uso dos recursos na nuvem e dimensiona o projeto adequado para cada tipo de negócio, operação ou ação específica, como, por exemplo, uma campanha ou serviço que possa consumir grande volume dos recursos em nuvem”, explica o executivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O Dedalus Business Continuity Services é uma solução composta por ações de planejamento e serviços: Business Continuity Plan (BCP); Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP); Test Plan and Exercises (TPE); implementação da estratégia de continuidade de negócios; gerenciamento das operações de continuidade de negócios; contact center; e projetos especiais com profissionais certificados (COBIT, ITIL, Information Security).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-204706508329913569?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/204706508329913569/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=204706508329913569' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/204706508329913569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/204706508329913569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/business-continuity-e-aposta-da-dedalus.html' title='Business Continuity é aposta da Dedalus na nuvem'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-2386708306316558370</id><published>2011-12-17T00:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T01:06:02.631-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GERAL-Oportunidades'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-VISÃO GERAL'/><title type='text'>Habilidades em Computação de Nuvem</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ganhar dinheiro na nuvem é possível.

Ele entende como provedores de cloud computing como a Amazon Web Services e a Rackspace podem autoprovisionar e autoescalar, e aplicar seu conhecimento em outras áreas, como aplicativos baseados em nuvem e infraestrutura. Há pouquíssimos profissionais com essas habilidades hoje no mercado. A maioria é autodidata, já que muitas dessas arquiteturas são originais. Já construí várias arquiteturas e posso garantir que não há duas iguais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Especialista em Migração: é um profissional que pode realocar seu aplicativo de legado com sucesso para a nuvem, aproveitando ao máximo a economia e a elasticidade da plataforma. Precisa ser um bom arquiteto, ter vasta experiência com padrões de arquitetura SOA e profundo conhecimento das plataformas de computação em nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Especialista em Segurança: é comum ouvir que as nuvens não são seguras. Bem, elas não são seguras se não tiverem a arquitetura de segurança correta, e é por isso que todo mundo estará à procura de um bom especialista de segurança na nuvem. Esses profissionais compreendem as diferenças entre identidade e criptografia, e sabem como bloquear os seus dados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Agora tudo que você tem a fazer é desenvolver essas habilidades!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-2386708306316558370?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/2386708306316558370/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=2386708306316558370' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2386708306316558370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2386708306316558370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/habilidades-em-computacao-de-nuvem.html' title='Habilidades em Computação de Nuvem'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-7368346147319298557</id><published>2011-12-15T10:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T15:22:01.223-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-IaaS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Amazon traz plataforma de computação em nuvem para o Brasil</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital &lt;br /&gt;A Amazon Web Services (AWS) anunciou nesta quinta-feira, 15/12, o lançamento de sua nova Região América do Sul (São Paulo), a oitava Região geográfica na qual a empresa implantará sua plataforma global de computação em nuvem. Essa nova Região permitirá que os negócios baseados na América do Sul e empresas globais com clientes na região possam usufruir dos serviços de infraestrutura na web da AWS e executar seus aplicativos em nuvem. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Muitos clientes sul-americanos têm usado a AWS nas Regiões dos Estados Unidos, Europa e Ásia. Com o lançamento de nossas operações, eles podem operar seus aplicativos no Brasil, o que reduz significativamente a latência para os usuários finais permitindo a permanência dos dados na região para aqueles que assim necessitem”, declarou Andy Jassy, vice-presidente sênior da Amazon Web Services. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Clientes locais&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A operação começou agora, mas a AWS já contava com clientes na região, como a Orama, Gol, Peixe urbano e o portal R7. A Orama é uma instituição financeira com a missão de fornecer melhor acesso a investimentos para todos os brasileiros. “Atualmente a Orama utiliza a AWS para a maioria dos seus sistemas de relacionamento com os clientes. Visando alcançar as metas de satisfação de nossos clientes, precisamos reagir com agilidade, velocidade e confiabilidade de serviços”, afirmou Guilherme Horn, CEO da Orama. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Já a Gol Transportes Aéreos utiliza a AWS para fornecer serviço Wi-Fi a bordo para seus clientes e para comunicação automática entre aeronaves e sistemas de conteúdo de bordo. “Operar data centers não é a atividade principal da Gol Transportes Aéreos e com a AWS podemos nos concentrar na inovação, em nossos clientes e em nossa empresa. A AWS nos oferece servidores fáceis de usar, de baixo custo, altamente escaláveis e flexíveis que nos permite usufruir de infraestrutura tecnológica, algo ainda muito novo para o setor aéreo”, disse Giselma Silva, da unidade de negócios de inovação e produtos da Gol Transportes Aéreos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“A AWS nos permitiu lançar um site com investimento de capital zero que cresceu e se tornou um dos 50 maiores sites sem que precisássemos mudar nossa infraestrutura ou arquitetura”, declarou Alexander Tabor, CEO do Peixe Urbano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;De acordo com Edson Brandi, diretor de Tecnologia do R7, "Usamos a AWS em nossas operações diárias para transmitir 100% de conteúdo estático através da estrutura de nosso portal. A Amazon CloudFront [Rede de Distribuição de Conteúdo da AWS] nos oferece um excelente desempenho na transmissão de nossos dados a usuários em qualquer parte do mundo, tornando fácil a integração com outros serviços em nuvem da Amazon que utilizamos, como o Serviço de Armazenamento Simples da Amazon (Amazon S3). A infraestrutura da AWS é alocada dinamicamente ao longo do dia, aumentando ou diminuindo de acordo com nossa audiência. Ao utilizarmos a AWS, sempre temos a infraestrutura certa para atendermos nossos clientes. O lançamento da infraestrutura local nos traz oportunidades adicionais para aumentar a velocidade aos nossos usuários no Brasil com excelente custo-benefício." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Além de uma ampla base de clientes sul-americanos, a AWS possui um ecossistema de parceiros no Brasil que já cria e vende soluções e serviços com a infraestrutura de ‘pay-as-you-go’ da AWS, entre eles: Avanxo, Accenture, CI&amp;amp;T, Concrete Solutions, Deloitte, Dedalus Prime, Dextra, Infor, Genexus, Globant, MPL, Lumis, Oracle, Summa e Uptodate Consulting. Esses Desenvolvedores Independentes de Software (ISVs – Independent Software Vendors) e Integradores de Sistemas já disponibilizaram ou irão disponibilizar em breve seus serviços de software na AWS na nova região da América do Sul (São Paulo), tornando mais fácil para as empresas do continente aproveitar todas as vantagens dos softwares empresariais em nuvem da AWS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-7368346147319298557?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/7368346147319298557/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=7368346147319298557' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7368346147319298557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7368346147319298557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/amazon-web-services-traz-plataforma-de.html' title='Amazon traz plataforma de computação em nuvem para o Brasil'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-5761372631726921672</id><published>2011-12-15T10:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T10:23:00.228-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Tendencias'/><title type='text'>Nuvem aquece modernização dos DATACENTERS no Brasil</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A chegada de grandes fornecedoras de serviços de cloud, como Amazon e Microsoft, movimenta o mercado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Por Edileuza Soares, da Computerworld&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Os data centers brasileiros estão numa corrida para adequar seus ambientes à espera da demanda aquecida prevista em razão do crescimento das ofertas de serviços por meio do conceito de cloud computing. O setor continua investindo fortemente em expansão da infraestrutura e tem sido alvo de fusões e aquisições, iniciando nova fase de consolidação. Toda a movimentação é para aumentar a confiança dos contratos de terceirização da TI e mostrar que esses prestadores de serviços podem ser parceiros dos CIOs, assumindo a parte operacional do departamento deles para que tenham mais tempo de se dedicar à gestão e aos negócios de suas companhias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Para estar em linha com a expectativa atual, praticamente todos os data centers comerciais brasileiros estão aprimorando sua operação com a ambição de se tornarem dynamic data centers. São ambientes projetados para serem sustentáveis e eficientes energeticamente, oferecerem segurança máxima, estarem preparados para processar aplicações em nuvem e em conformidade com as melhores práticas internacionais. Ou seja, precisam dar garantias de que são capazes de cumprir rigorosamente os acordos de Service Level Agreement (SLAs).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hoje, não basta que o data center atenda a esses requisitos para conquistar a confiança dos CIOs. Analistas afirmam que dizer que o data center é um “Tier 3” e garante 99,98% de disponibilidade não é o suficiente. É preciso comprovar a capacitação por meio de certificações de entidades reconhecidas. Com as novas exigências, alguns estão recorrendo a instituições como Institute Uptime e TÜV Rheinland para obter selos que comprovem que seguem as regras do mercado, o que deverá fazer a diferença na hora da venda dos serviços de cloud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Para Alexandre Siffert, CEO da Ativas, data center que opera em Belo Horizonte (MG), ter ambiente dinâmico e em conformidade com as melhores práticas atrai negócios. Ele dá o exemplo da companhia que tem menos de dez meses de operação e que já conquistou cerca de 50 clientes de grande porte como a fabricante Itambé e a Unimed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;São clientes que estão terceirizando aplicações de missão crítica, como sistema de gestão empresarial (ERP) da Oracle, Totvs e SAP, que são hospedados e gerenciados pela Ativas. Siffert explica que a estratégia da companhia não é entregar apenas infraestrutura, mas fazer a gestão dos serviços e apoiar os executivos de TI, com relatórios que impactam em seus negócios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;No ritmo da nuvem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na Alog, empresa brasileira adquirida no começo do ano pela norte-americana Equinix e o Rivewood Capital, a oferta de colocation faz parte das estratégias para impulsionar negócios. Victor Arnaud, diretor de Marketing e Processos de TI da companhia, informa que ainda há demanda pelo serviço e pode ajudar na migração para nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Colocation é a porta de entrada para cloud computing”, acredita Arnaud que informa que 20% da sua base de clientes já contrata redes privadas nessa modalidade. Para tranquilizá-los sobre a localização física dos servidores, a empresa criou uma camada de software que identifica onde está cada máquina utilizada, seja em um dos três data centers do prestador de serviço no Brasil ou nos 99 centros de dados da Equinix, espalhados pelo mundo. A expectativa do executivo é que a adesão à nuvem chegue em 50% nos próximos dois anos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A oferta de colocation também está presente no leque de serviços da Hostlocation, que conta com dois data centers em São Paulo. Mas o diretor da empresa, Marcelo Safatle, reconhece que a manutenção exige muito esforço por causa dos custos que são elevados. Atualmente, o provedor está apostando mais em cloud computing, que segundo o executivo é o carro-chefe em vendas para pequenas e médias empresas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Em 2011, a Hostlocation investiu 3 milhões de reais em adequação do ambiente para nuvem, com ofertas de infraestrutura e software na modalidade de serviços pela rede pública. O provedor se prepara para lançar em 2012 pacotes de cloud 2.0 em ambientes privados e uma parceria com a norte-americana OneAp. “Vamos entregar não apenas servidores em nuvem, mas uma série de recursos para os clientes que quiserem montar seu próprio ambiente”, anuncia Safatle. De acordo com ele, a Hostlocation vai dar autonomia aos clientes para usarem 100% da infraestrutura do provedor, que cuidará do gerenciamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Essas novas preocupações fizeram com que os data centers brasileiros aprimorassem a gestão e ganhassem maturidade. Como resultado, os serviços são mais procurados. A modalidade em nuvem ainda tem baixa representatividade nos negócios em razão da falta de massa crítica de cloud no País, mas as expectativas mobilizaram o mercado para aguardar a demanda estimada de aquecimento. Enquanto isso, contratos de outras ofertas cresceram e o mercado deverá fechar o ano de 2011 com receita acima de dois dígitos, segundo estimativas dos institutos de pesquisas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O diretor de Marketing do UOL Diveo, José Peyon, avalia que um dos fatores que estão puxando os negócios de data center é a forte necessidade de melhorar governança corporativa. Ele observa que por ser a bola da vez, o Brasil está registrando muitas fusões e aquisições em todos os segmentos da economia. Ao se unirem, essas companhias precisam atender a regulamentos do mercado e também investir em novas tecnologias, preferindo o outsourcing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“A demanda por serviços de data center continua alta. Vamos crescer 30% em 2011”, informa Vagner Moraes, diretor de data center da Level 3 Communications, grupo norte-americano que estreou este ano no Brasil, com a compra da Global Crossing. Já prevendo aumento de contratos, a companhia está ampliando o centro de Cotia (SP). “Queremos ser o departamento de TI dos clientes”, diz o executivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Pelos cálculos do presidente da T-Systems, Dominik Maurer, a companhia fechará o ano com elevação no Brasil de aproximadamente 12%, estimulada principalmente pelas ofertas de Business Process Outsourcing. Para o próximo ano, a empresa espera avanço maior no País com a entrada no setor de governo.&lt;br /&gt;Projeções da Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan apontam que o segmento de data center no Brasil deverá crescer 13% em 2011 em comparação à receita de 1,2 bilhão de dólares registrados em 2010. Segundo a consultoria, esse aumento é bem acima do previsto para mercados mais maduros. Os principais fatores para o desempenho são a procura maior das companhias pelo outosourcing de TI e o fortalecimento dos prestadores de serviços, que receberam injeção de investimentos tanto local quanto de provedores globais por meio de aquisições. O analista sênior de mercado da Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan, Fernando Belfort, comenta que o Brasil tem atualmente a maior infraestrutura de data center da América Latina e que responde por 40% a 50% dos de serviços terceirizados de TI. Ele avalia que o segmento permanecerá em alta até 2016, com taxas de expansão acima de 10%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Esses fatores devem atrair novos players internacionais, como a Amazon, que fechou alianças e acaba de anunciar o início das operações da Amazon Web Services LLC (AWS) no Brasil para, daqui, atender toda a demanda da América do Sul. Há rumores de que a empresa norte-americana teria firmado parcerias para utilizar a infraestrutura do UOL Diveo e da Tivit e que poderá assinar outros acordos, um deles com a Oracle. As empresas não confirmam os contratos, mas o varejista de e-commerce já tem um diretor no Brasil, que é o executivo José Nilo Cruz, contratado em maio deste ano e que atuou nas áreas de vendas da Google, Sun e Promon Tecnologia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Belfort diz que host dedicado está em alta no País e irá representar mais de 40% da receita do setor em 2011. Em segundo lugar, estão os serviços de armazenamento, com participação de 26% e que tende subir para cerca de 30% até 2016, puxado pelo fenômeno do chamado Big Data. O terceiro maior serviço desses provedores é disaster recovery, (sites de contingências), com fatia de 23% da receita total. A previsão do analista é de crescimento desse tipo de solução nos próximos quatro anos em razão da necessidade das companhias por um segundo ambiente de dados para estar em conformidade com as regulamentações. Já o colocation, segundo a Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan, está em queda e representará 10% dos negócios em 2011, mas até 2016 cairá para de 5%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-5761372631726921672?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/5761372631726921672/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=5761372631726921672' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5761372631726921672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5761372631726921672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/nuvem-aquece-modernizacao-dos.html' title='Nuvem aquece modernização dos DATACENTERS no Brasil'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-6169757667874883962</id><published>2011-12-15T01:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T01:06:42.035-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-IaaS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Now Open - South America (Sao Paulo) Region - EC2, S3, and Much More</title><content type='html'>Jeff Barr.&lt;br /&gt;With the paint barely dry on our US West (Oregon) Region, we are now ready to expand again.

"One or more of your Amazon EC2 instances have been scheduled for a reboot in order to receive some patch updates. Most reboots complete within minutes, depending on your instance configuration," it says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Speculation is that the reboot involves security patches to the underlying servers hosting the Amazon applications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Amazon is constantly patching and updating service. But such updates don't typically knock applications offline, even for the duration of a reboot. An Amazon spokesperson downplayed the impact, saying that customers were simply being informed of scheduled maintenance, GigaOM reports. Amazon also gives customers the option of doing their own reboots, it says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A check of the Amazon Dashboard at 4:46 pacific does show problems with "ELB scaling and provisioning in the US-EAST-1 region" which is served through the North Virginia data center. This was the data center responsible for the big Amazon outage in the spring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Users of Amazon's cloud service seem none too happy with their applications being taken offline. Says William Vambenepe on Twitter: "Today is apparently EC2-reboot-Wednesday.

A adoção exige cautela.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;JD Speedy, Computerworld/Canadá&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Implantar um ERP numa empresa pode ser uma dor de cabeça. Há uma alta barreira de entrada, tanto em termos de compromissos financeiros e como na contratação de especialistas em TI para mantê-lo funcionando. Naturalmente, usar um ERP através de um modelo de software como um serviço parece ser a maneira perfeita para mitigar esses problemas. Mas, infelizmente, ele não é válida para todos. Há muitas coisas a considerar antes de tomar a decisão de migrar o ERP para o modelo SaaS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Andrew Dailey, diretor da MGI Research, em Mill Valley, na Califórnia, diz que há certos casos nos quais o ERP no modelo SaaS pode ser benéfico, mas eles devem ser analisados cuidadosamente. “Se uma empresa precisa de um sistema de gestão empresarial em muito pouco tempo, SaaS pode ser um modelo atraente”, diz. “Você estará investindo nele, mas estará pagando pelo que usar”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O problema, segundo Dailey, é que muitas vezes as empresas só pensam na redução de custos imediata proporcionada por um sistema de ERP no modelo SaaS. "Mas não há dados confiáveis que atestem que o modelo SaaS será a solução mais barata, sempre", disse ele. Especialmente no logo prazo. "Se você considerar uma planilha de custos de cinco anos, os custos do ERP como SaaS vão subir." Muitas vezes as despesas acabam sendo semelhantes aos do sistema tradicional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Aleksey Osintsev, analista de pesquisa da Technology Evaluation Centros Inc., de Montreal, concorda com Dailey. “Os cortes de custos seguem normalmente esta lógica”, diz . Muitas vezes as empresas são seduzidas pelo menor custo de instalação proporcionado pelo modelo SaaS”, e só.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Osintsev alerta para a necessidade de as empresas estarem o quanto poderão adaptar o ERP à suas necessidades, personalizando ou aampliando o sistema se for no modelo SaaS. "Se você precisa fazer algumas modificações, saiba que ainda existem dúvidas sobre esta questão com relação às aplicações baseadas em nuvem", diz ele.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Este aspecto também preocupa Dailey. “Uma coisa são os benefícios associados a uma solução SaaS. Outra, a realidade de muitas empresas”, diz. "Em sistemas internos, quando você deseja atualizar uma parte da solução, você tem que atualizar toda a solução. Em um modelo de SaaS você não tem o controle do processo de atualização."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Não só isso. Às vezes, em um modelo SaaS, as atualizações são forçados. Em geral, segundo Dailey, as empresas passam a ter menos controle sobre todos os aspectos do software. "“Quando uma nova funcionalidade é lançada, os clientes não podem escolher se a querem ou não”, explica Dailey. Isso pode ser um problema se a novidade retardar processos de negócios. Ou se, por exemplo, mudarem a interface do usuário de forma dramática, tornando características úteis difíceis de encontrar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na opinião de Osintsev, muitos desses problemas, tanto de segurança como de conformidade ou de readaptação, podem ser resolvidos se os clientes forem cuidadosos e lebrarem deles já na hora de assinar o contrato com o fornecedor de ERP. "Conheço alguns casos em que os fornecedores de software não fornecem os dados de volta para os clientes, quando o contrato acaba", diz ele, para quem a coisa mais importante a fazer, se você ainda quiser ir em frente com uma solução de ERP SaaS, é se debruçar sobre detalhes do contrato e certificar-se que todas as suas preocupações estão cobertas. Recuperação de dados, garantias de serviço e atualizações devem ser top-of-mind em todos os contratos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-6699250224618196017?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/6699250224618196017/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=6699250224618196017' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/6699250224618196017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/6699250224618196017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/12/pense-duas-vezes-antes-de-adotar-erp.html' title='Pense duas vezes antes de adotar ERP como SaaS'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-3984760935326003464</id><published>2011-11-25T12:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-25T12:55:53.107-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTER-Aspectos Gerais'/><title type='text'>EMC ativa centro de excelência em CLOUD COMPUTING</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A EMC anunciou nesta quinta-feira, 24, a criação de um novo Centro de Excelência (COE) em Durham, Carolina do Norte, com aproximadamente 41 mil m2, que visa cumprir – e demonstrar – a promessa da computação em nuvem e de TI como serviço (ITaaS) para a empresa e seus clientes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O COE abrigará um data center em nuvem virtualizado para suportar os mais de 50 mil funcionários da EMC ao redor do mundo e 12.000 m2 de laboratórios de pesquisa e desenvolvimento globais que servirão de “vitrine” de tecnologia para ajudar os clientes da EMC a acelerar suas próprias mudanças em computação em nuvem e TI. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;As novas instalações da EMC em Durham são as mais recentes na rede mundial de centros de excelência da companhia, que tem outros na Índia, China, Egito, Israel, Irlanda e Rússia. Os COEs prestam serviços para as unidades de negócio da EMC, como engenharia e pesquisa e desenvolvimento, serviços ao cliente, serviços de tradução, suporte técnico e de TI e briefings executivos para clientes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Assim como muitas outras empresas, a EMC se deparou com o crescimento inexorável da informação; o uso ineficiente da infraestrutura de TI; ambientes de aplicativos cada vez mais complexos; e data centers abarrotados e com alto consumo de energia. Em resposta, em 2004 a organização de TI da EMC começou a migrar de uma infraestrutura de TI física para uma infraestrutura de TI virtualizada e a adotar o que viria a ser sua estratégia de computação em nuvem plurianual para transformar o modo como TI é entregue e consumida via ITaaS. Para acelerar esta transformação, a EMC criou um novo data center em nuvem com eficiência energética em Durham, Carolina do Norte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;No caminho da virtualização pervasiva, o novo data center da EMC fornece a base exigida para a computação em nuvem com uma arquitetura que irá explorar as mais recentes tecnologias de infraestrutura da informação da EMC, as tecnologias de infraestrutura de nuvem e virtualização VMware e as Plataformas de Infraestrutura Vblock™ da VCE (Virtual Computing Environment), empresa formada por Cisco e EMC com investimentos da VMware e da Intel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Através do programa EMC IT Proven, que descreve e compartilha melhores práticas de TI e computação em nuvem, o novo data center também será uma “vitrine” de tecnologia para os clientes da EMC. A companhia organizará briefings e tours de seu novo data center em Durham para os clientes, compartilhando melhores práticas e demonstrando em primeira mão de que modo as tecnologias da EMC, VMware, VCE e de outros parceiros podem ajudar a acelerar suas próprias transformações de TI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-3984760935326003464?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/3984760935326003464/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=3984760935326003464' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/3984760935326003464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/3984760935326003464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/emc-ativa-centro-de-excelencia-em-cloud.html' title='EMC ativa centro de excelência em CLOUD COMPUTING'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-2724605445410667508</id><published>2011-11-24T14:11:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-24T14:14:26.838-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GERAL-Oportunidades'/><title type='text'>Consultor em projetos de Infraestrutura de DATACENTERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Oportunidade Furukawa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Interessados, por favor, se candidatem à nossa vaga enviando email para: kumasawa@furukawa.com.br, assunto: oportunidade consultor Descrição das Funções &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Desenvolvimento de Pré-projetos de Infraestrutura de Data Centers, análise de requisitos, sugestão de soluções e melhores práticas, e acompanhamento de empreendimento de Data Centers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Requisitos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;• Atuação em projetos de Infraestrutura&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;• Disponibilidade para viajar, quando necessário &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;• Inglês avançado, desejável Espanhol intermediário&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Base&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;• Curitiba -

O governo está de olho no modelo e já prepara uma norma para seu uso, ao menos na esfera governamental. A informação foi dada nesta quarta-feira (23/11), no Rio de Janeiro, durante um evento de cibersegurança, pelo general Marconi dos Reis Bezerra, que trabalha na área de segurança da informação e comunicação do Gabinete de Segurança Institucional da Presidência da República.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Temos grupos que elaboram normas e a computação em nuvem, que já é utilizada por alguns órgãos governamentais, mas não é regulada, está no processo. Será algo mais informativo, para disseminar essa cultura. É um assunto que precisa ser divulgado. Será uma norma complementar. Tratamento da informação, que também não é normatizado, será debatido”, explicou o general.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;De forma geral, será uma diretriz voltada aos órgãos públicos, mas que, dependendo de suas características, pode inspirar algo parecido para iniciativa privada. De acordo com Bezerra, até o final deste ano, a primeira minuta deve ser divulgada. Ele lembrou também que, geralmente, o Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) estabelece que as normas criadas pelo Comitê Gestor de Segurança sejam aplicadas nos três poderes: legislativo, executivo e judiciário.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Neste primeiro momento, o texto virá com um explicativo do que é o modelo de cloud computing e alguns quesitos de segurança que serão levados em consideração caso o órgão queira aderir à computação em nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hoje, como frisou o general, o Gabinete de Segurança é responsável por monitorar 320 redes do governo. O Exército, por exemplo, é considerada uma rede e, internamente, trabalha suas subredes. Apenas o montante monitorado pelo gabinete recebe duas mil tentativas de ataque por hora. “Os recursos tecnológicos das forças adversas são cada vez mais especializados e, do nosso lado, também precisamos nos especializar e estamos fazendo isso, com trabalho de formação de recursos humanos.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-8226326971616648070?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/8226326971616648070/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=8226326971616648070' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/8226326971616648070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/8226326971616648070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/governo-brasileiro-ja-trabalha-em-norma.html' title='Governo Brasileiro já trabalha em norma para adoção da nuvem'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-6144046784266850987</id><published>2011-11-24T06:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-24T06:59:02.302-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-HPC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Buy Some Supercomputing with Your Credit Card on Amazon EC2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ideas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Forty-two – the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything – is now also the ranking of Amazon EC2's public compute cloud in the November 2011 list of the LINPACK-based Top 500 Supercomputer Sites (Top500). The impressive result utilized EC2's new Cluster Compute Eight Extra Large instance, which has 16 Intel Xeon cores and 60 GB of RAM. The total resources used for the benchmark result were 17,024 cores and 66,000 GB of memory. Depending on whether you divide by cores or memory, that represents either 1,064 or 1,100 EC2 instances. Amazon EC2 has not submitted many official benchmark results, which makes the new results even more exciting (in past Top500 lists, it ranked 233rd and 451st). Hopefully, with all the buzz that the new result is receiving, Amazon will now see the value of participating in benchmarks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f6Z0U_-nhxg/Ts5XTA6BCxI/AAAAAAAADeY/q3jtd45BZMc/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" height="268" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f6Z0U_-nhxg/Ts5XTA6BCxI/AAAAAAAADeY/q3jtd45BZMc/s400/untitled.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In the above Rmax (TFLOPS) per-core breakdown, taken from the Top500 results, Amazon EC2 was on the high end of performance per processor. This means it could have performed even better if Amazon had added more cores and exogenous infrastructure. Not surprisingly, 91.4% of the Top500 supercomputers, including Amazon, used a Linux operating system, while only one used Windows. A full 379 of the Top500 results are running on Intel Xeon processors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The new Amazon cluster instances don't come cheap. With a Linux operating system, as in the benchmark, running one Cluster Compute Eight Extra Large instance 24x7x365 would cost about US$21,000! That doesn't even include the storage necessary for all the GBs of data it would produce. And, if you happen to care about using Windows for high-performance computing (HPC), you will need to lay out another couple of grand per year because of the increased cost of instances with that operating system. However, although $21,000 seems expensive at first, the fact that a user can rent one of the top 50 supercomputers in the world for $2,553.60/hour ((1,064 instances)*$2.40/hour) is perhaps the coolest fact that has come out of the staid Top500 benchmark press releases in years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Science and mathematics have been able to cut down compute intensity through mathematical manipulation. For example, the Fourier transform that is typically used in signal processing is orders of magnitude slower than the Fast Fourier transform. However, in the end, whether scaling with the number of data points at quasilinear or the much slower exponential pace, faster compute capacity allows for much speedier progress in research. Now, with Amazon EC2, scientists may no longer have to rent time at an HPC facility. Instead, they can just purchase whatever compute power they need on a credit card.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-6144046784266850987?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/6144046784266850987/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=6144046784266850987' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/6144046784266850987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/6144046784266850987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/buy-some-supercomputing-with-your.html' title='Buy Some Supercomputing with Your Credit Card on Amazon EC2'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f6Z0U_-nhxg/Ts5XTA6BCxI/AAAAAAAADeY/q3jtd45BZMc/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-5687109264433077740</id><published>2011-11-20T16:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T16:11:34.291-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Curso'/><title type='text'>Curso Projeto de DATACENTER v.2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILHFkyrZ2MU/TsmUToiiD-I/AAAAAAAADeI/l5Mm2ekyZQA/s1600/Sem+t%25C3%25ADtulo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILHFkyrZ2MU/TsmUToiiD-I/AAAAAAAADeI/l5Mm2ekyZQA/s320/Sem+t%25C3%25ADtulo.png" width="230" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O Curso PROJETO DE DATACENTER na sua versão 2.0 agora conta com apostila em português.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Agora além do livro DATACENTER o aluno recebe as apostilas de treinamento e exercícios que o orienta durante todo o decorrer do curso.

As time, technology and sustainability efforts evolve, the PUE metric is no longer the stopping point for energy efficiency measurement, but it has become just one more piece in the larger picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What does PUE do? It measures how much of the energy entering a data center facility is used to power the computing devices within, versus the amount used for cooling and overhead of the facility. That’s it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Realities of Measurement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In an ideal world, the PUE is 1.0, which means that 100 percent of the energy is used by the computing devices in the data center. Since 1.0 is an impossible-to-achieve ideal, the standard goal for most data centers is a PUE of less than 2.0, which means that for every 1 watt of energy used by the computing devices, an additional 1 watt is used for facilities overhead such as air conditioning and lighting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;At first glance, this is a very direct metric. It’s easy to understand and easy to follow. The problem with relying solely on PUE is that it in no way measures the efficiency of the IT devices themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Other Metrics Available&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Data center managers today are under pressure to deliver increasingly higher energy efficiency and lower costs. In order to understand the true efficiency levels and progress toward enterprise sustainability goals, managers MUST have access to an accurate performance measurement of each device in the facility. Other available energy metrics include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and its reciprocal Datacenter infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) are widely accepted benchmarking standards proposed by the Green Grid to help IT professionals determine how energy efficient data centers are, and to monitor the impact of their efficiency efforts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Uptime Institute also has a comprehensive benchmark it recommends named Corporate Average Data center Efficiency (CADE). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;At its February 2009 Technical Forum, the Green Grid introduced new benchmarks called Data Center Productivity (DCP) and Data Center energy Productivity (DCeP) which probe into the useful work produced by your data center. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Another Measurement – Performance per Watt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There are, however, issues with these other metrics. CADE is a McKinsey metric and is very costly to implement. By the Green Grid’s own admission, DCP and DCeP are very difficult to measure and implement. The measurement recommended by JouleX is Performance per Watt (PPW).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What’s the difference? Like PUE, Performance per Watt is a very straightforward and easy-to-implement solution. The PPW metric measures the actual energy efficiency of every device in the data center and how it is used.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The PPW approach uses a relative performance indicator for each individual asset. This indicator is calculated by the types of hardware and capabilities learned from an asset inventory of that device. This Performance Indicator (PI) is a simple measurement for getting relative performance of the device in question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;At JouleX, we use a derivative of SPECmarks. However, any performance metric can be used as long as it is incorporated into all your measurements. The formula for PPW is as follows:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;(PI * Avg Device Utilization / Watts ) * 100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Let’s take a look at two examples:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;When the device is at maximum efficiency, the PPW number is higher. The lower the PPW number, the more power that device is wasting. What can the PPW measurement tell you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Are the servers using twice the electricity needed for the jobs they’re doing? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Are you wasting electricity powering dead servers? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Are the old switches and routers costing you more in power than it would cost you to replace them? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Would virtualization of newer, more energy-efficient servers, allow you to retire old servers completely? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;When combining PI with live utilization of an asset, along with real-time energy draw of that asset, you get a simple process for measuring PPW.

At OpenWorld, Oracle doubled down on the plug-and-play features of Exalogic and Exadata by having these systems serve as the backbone for its new public cloud offering. Recently, IDEAS published a blog post offering a broader definition of mainframes as an integrated solution stack. By this definition, Oracle is eschewing commodity solutions, the architecture on which many existing cloud services are based, in favor of a high-end solution as the basis for its public cloud&amp;nbsp;. Computing as a service has been successfully monetized (recently confirmed), but by taking the high-end approach, Oracle is trading larger potential sales volumes for a niche customer base. The strategy may prove to be as profitable, but it is not without risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The above taxonomy defines three types of server platform solutions, but in truth server architecture today is a spectrum along which we highlight three key points. On the one end is the commodity solution. This is the setup that is typical in most data centers for cloud-based workloads. Somewhere in the middle, further integration of hardware and software can be applied. Such converged server platforms, which include HP Matrix and Cisco UCS, have been a hot topic in recent years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On the opposite end, a solution integrates software and hardware into a single smoothly functioning entity. Such a high-end solution is what Oracle plans to sell as its public cloud, incorporating Oracle’s Exadata and Exalogic platforms with Fusion software and other application layers. At first glance, this may seem unexpected, but as long ago as 1999 commentators were noting that Larry Ellison’s preference for a high-end solution stack was pretty clear:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Oracle chairman CEO Larry Ellison is taking aim at Microsoft's core enterprise strategy, mounting an attack on client/server computing, which he describes as an evolutionary dead end, and more specifically taking a pop at Microsoft's 'servers everywhere' distributed computing model. ...x86 server isn't yet sufficiently scalable to rival centralised computing models based on Unix, mid-range and mainframe models... and that's why Ellison is finally attacking the right target...distributed computing tends towards the chaotic and expensive. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;For Oracle, the verdict on how to best package hardware was in long ago. In the meantime, of course, Microsoft strategy did not fail. But mainframes did not fail either. Cassandra predictions by others about the dim future of the mainframe have been overzealous. IBM still sells plenty of big iron, and the mainframe ecosystem remains a solid, albeit cyclical, business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A true metric to determine the winner of the commodity vs. high-end solution contest would normalize the amount of compute cycles (or I/O) that are now being delivered by high-end solutions vs. total compute cycles (or I/O). By that measure, high-end solutions have been losing ground quickly over the years to commodity solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;High-end systems with tightly integrated software have traditionally been applied for very specific tasks, such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•High-performance computing (HPC), which employed specialized hardware designs in the past, but which is now increasingly based on commodity hardware.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Business-critical systems (in many cases, but not all).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Code that needs to have an edge to beat competitors. An example of this would be hedge funds that pay big money to experts in multithreaded and parallel programming. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Android apps are an example of a commodity application layer at the low end, in consumer technology. Android applications have to run on many different chips, OS flavors, and hardware. Therefore, investments in optimizing an Android app may be a losing proposition for developers, because that app could be buggy or useless on nonoptimized devices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On the high end, investment bank hedge funds may hire programmers to make sure that each instruction is matched to a thread of a specific Intel processor (Intel even has a special suite of tools to help enable this degree of optimization). Granted, the hedge fund programmer is working on a x86 platform. However, not everyone can afford a team of high-priced experts. The next best thing may be the high-end solution, in which software has been preintegrated and optimized for a specific hardware platform.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Most public cloud vendors build their services on commodity hardware, because part of their added value is the development of a software stack that provides meaningful differentiation from competitors. This differentiation is essential for avoiding true commoditization, in which the cloud service competes on nothing other than price. There may be a few exceptions where a vendor has some more exotic hardware offerings in the mix, but the majority are built on x86 servers, together with a hodgepodge of applications. This environment lends itself well to being partitioned into compute instances that are sold cheaply.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;However, in finally embracing public cloud computing, Oracle faces a dilemma. On the one hand, it cannot afford to cannibalize its own margins on Exadata and Exalogic hardware, Fusion software, its enterprise database, and so forth to customers for on-premise deployment. Therefore, its public cloud offering cannot be too cheap in absolute terms. On the other hand, its cloud offering needs to promise customers genuine benefits in terms of price-performance and other metrics. These two forces are driving much of the risk in Oracle’s business maneuver – will end users choose to deploy Oracle high-end server platform solutions on premises, or purchase access to these systems from Oracle’s public cloud on a utility basis?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Oracle’s databases lead in market share, and Oracle’s middleware sales are second only to IBM’s. Big corporations, especially financial institutions, have traditionally been loyal customers of premium architectures. By accepting that not every startup is going to want to use an Exa-based cloud with an expensive relational database management system, Oracle is forsaking low margins and high volumes in favor of pursuing opportunities with high-end enterprise customers. Oracle’s approach is also a novel way to sell the Exadata and Exalogic to new clients, who run plenty of high-end solutions, but not necessarily on those two systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Oracle’s high-end cloud solutions may appeal to fewer customers than other public cloud platforms, and the analyst community may not fully understand the move. However, there is little doubt what the company is trying to achieve: as Ellison seemed to be predicting in 1999, Oracle will try to capture the enterprise with its own centralized, integrated hardware architecture and applications stack – deployed either on premises, or off&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-5416469994815201353?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/5416469994815201353/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=5416469994815201353' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5416469994815201353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5416469994815201353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/oracles-high-end-path-to-public-cloud.html' title='Oracle’s High-End Path to Public Cloud'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-2261271212966600164</id><published>2011-11-17T23:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T23:52:12.830-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Riscos'/><title type='text'>Sinalização em Nuvem pode mitigar DDoS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;InformationWeek&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A distribuição de ataques de negação de serviço (DDoS) paralisam a rede da sua corporação? Então é sinal de que o seu provedor de serviço não esteja conseguindo filtrar o montante de ataques.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Essa é a premissa da nova ferramenta de “sinalização em nuvem”, a qual configura capacidades técnicas e estratégias de mitigação oferecida pelo fornecedor de segurança de rede, Arbor Networks.  Embora tenha sido anunciado em maio, a Arbor apenas lançou o primeiro produto em agosto, nomeado de Pravail, o qual checa a disponibilidade do sistema de proteção. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Empresas que já estão comprando defesas contra ataques DDoS podem tranquilamente mitigar os pequenos ataques, mas aqueles que inundam o tubo de rede, ou são alvos de níveis de aplicações – incluindo sistemas de prevenção de invasão e firewalls – podem ser muito mais difíceis de impedir. É exatamente aí que a sinalização em nuvem entra. “É possível, inclusive, configurar o sistema para sinalizar o seu provedor com um tipo de sinal de alerta automático, que envia pedido de ajuda e encaminha os parâmetros do ataque ao provedor”, disse Rob Malan, CTO da Arbor Networks. O sistema também permite acionar a sinalização manualmente.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Segundo Malan, a ideia da sinalização em nuvem surgiu durante discussão que teve com o co-fundador da Arbor, Farnam Jahanian, durante programa Denny late-night. Eles pensaram na possibilidade de existir um`grande botão vermelho’, que, quando acionado, identifica os ataques DDoS e sinaliza todo o caminho de volta para as fontes de ataque, protegendo o seu alvo automaticamente”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mas essa discussão aconteceu em 1999; então porque levou 11 anos para que a ideia se tornasse realidade? “Na verdade a gente sempre quis fazer isso, mas não se pode ganhar a vida vendendo uma promessa que só será boa daqui dez anos. Além do mais, Precisávamos ter uma grande base instalada”, explicou Malan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“O primeiro grande problema foi conseguir ferramentas dentro de todas as operadoras para que pudessemos coordenar as soluções de problemas. O segundo foi colocá-las nas mãos das empresas, para que fosse possível enviá-las de volta as operadoras. Uma vez que a infraestrutura está coberta, você pode conectá-las todas juntas, e enviá-las de volta à operadora”, disse.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Um dos passos ao longo deste caminho foi fazer aliança com o compartilhamento de impressão digital (Fingerprint Sharing Alliance), lançado em 2002 como forma dos provedores de rede compartilharem informações uns com ou outros sobre o progresso dos ataques em larga escala. A partir disso, não foi preciso grande avanço para conseguir informações dos clientes sobre ataques que visam infraestruturas especificas. As recentes mudanças dos ataques DDoS têm, inclusive, criado impulso para compartilhamento de informação. “Os ataques mudaram muito nos últimos anos”, disse Malan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mas, quando essas defesas detectam ataques elas nem sempre podem interrompê-las. Notavelmente, a pesquisa da Arbor descobriu que a média dos ataques DDoS aumentou 102% durante 2010, e subiu 1000% entre os anos de 2005 e 2010.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Quando os ataques DDoS são contra empresas, eles geralmente não conseguem tomar o data center sem que o operador avise sua operadora em busca de uma maneira de mitigar o ataque. Mas com Pravail, disse Malan, além do processo poder ser inteiramente automatizado também é possível guardar assinaturas de ataques, identificando qualquer sinal de problema. Isso aumenta as chances de não sofrer nenhuma interrupção na empresa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-2261271212966600164?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/2261271212966600164/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=2261271212966600164' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2261271212966600164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2261271212966600164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/sinalizacao-em-nuvem-pode-mitigar-ddos.html' title='Sinalização em Nuvem pode mitigar DDoS'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-3869288188558284602</id><published>2011-11-17T23:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T23:44:52.422-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-VISÃO GERAL'/><title type='text'>NIST publica versão final da definição de CLOUD COMPUTING</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Convergência Digital -&lt;br /&gt;Depois de alguns anos de trabalho e 15 versões provisórias, o NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), parte do Departamento de Comércio do governo norte-americano, publicou a versão final de sua definição para computação em nuvem. De acordo com a entidade, o cloud computing é “um modelo para acesso a rede sob demanda, ubíquo e conveniente para um pool compartilhado de recursos computacionais configuráveis que podem ser rapidamente provisionados e lançados com mínimo esforço de gerenciamento ou interação com o provedor de serviços”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A definição do NIST lista cinco características essenciais para cloud computing: autosserviço sob demanda, acesso a rede de banda larga, pool de recursos, rápida elasticidade ou expansão e serviço de mensuração. A definição também cita três modelos de serviço (software, plataforma ou infraestrutura) e quatro modelos de desenvolvimento (privado, comunitário, público e híbrido) que, juntos, categorizam modos de entrega de serviços em nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O objetivo da definição é servir como meio de comparação de serviços em nuvem e estratégias de desenvolvimento, além de prover um parâmetro para a discussão sobre o que é cloud computing e qual o melhor modo de usar o conceito.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Quando agências ou empresas usam a definição, eles têm uma ferramenta para determinar em que medida as implementações de TI que estão fazendo estão de acordo com modelos e características de cloud computing. Isto é importante porque ao adotar uma nuvem autêntica, as empresas estão mais perto de dos benefícios prometidos como redução de custos e de energia, rápido desenvolvimento e melhoria do atendimento ao cliente. Além disso, o alinhamento de uma implementação com a definição pode ajudar na avaliação das características de segurança da nuvem”, diz Peter Mell, cientista de computação do NIST.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Antes de ser publicada, a definição recebeu a contribuição do INCITS (International Committee for Information Technology Standards), grupo que trabalhou para desenvolver um padrão internacional para a definição de cloud computing. O primeiro draft da definição foi criado em novembro de 2009. “Passamos por várias versões e discutimos o assunto com o governo e com a indústria, antes que tivéssemos uma versão estável”, lembra Mell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A “versão estável”, a 15ª, foi publicada no site sobre cloud computing do NIST em julho de 2009.

Big data is becoming big business, and the buzz around it is building commensurately. What began as a specialized solution to a unique problem faced by the largest of Web 2.0 search engines and social media outlets – namely the need to ingest, store and analyze vast amounts of semi- or unstructured data in a fast, efficient, cost-effective and reliable manner that challenges traditional relational database management and storage approaches – has expanded in scope across nearly every industry vertical and trickled out into a wide variety of IT shops, from small technology startups to large enterprises. Big business has taken note, and major industry players such as IBM, Oracle, EMC, and Cisco have all begun investing directly in this space. But why has Hadoop itself proved so popular, and how has it solved some of the limitations of traditional structured relational database management systems (RDBMS) and associated SAN/NAS storage designs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Businesses of all shapes and sizes are asking complex questions of their data to gain a competitive advantage: retail companies want to be able to track changes in brand sentiment from online sources like Facebook and Twitter and react to them rapidly; financial services firms want to scour large swaths of transaction data to detect fraud patterns; power companies ingest terabytes of data from millions of smart meters generating data every hour in hopes of uncovering new efficiencies in billing and delivery. As a result, developers and data analysts are demanding fast access to as large and “pure” a data set as possible, taxing the limits of traditional software and infrastructure and exposing the following technology challenges:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•CPU horsepower/density continues to outpace spinning disk performance. As compute power tracks Moore’s Law and spinning disk capacities continue to advance at a rapid pace, we’re still stuck with relatively low bandwidth from a given spindle – maybe 150 MB/s sequential read throughput out of an enterprise-class SAS 15k RPM drive, or 80 MB/s out of a slower/cheaper/more dense 7.2k RPM SATA disk. A common solution to the bandwidth limit of a single hard disk spindle is to add more spindles and parallelize the read and write operations. SAN and NAS systems became hugely popular by providing far more spindles than a single server could hold internally and relatively fast access to them over a fibrechannel or Ethernet fabric. This separation of compute from storage works well as long as your application doesn’t need to read or write very large amounts of data very quickly, where bottlenecks in the fabric, server, or storage array can arise. However, with big data-scale applications addressing terabyte- and even petabyte-sized working sets, this compute/storage performance imbalance often leaves the compute starved of data in traditional SAN/NAS-based RDBMS architectures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•The explosion of data, especially the unstructured or semi-structured variety, taxes traditional systems’ scalability. Customers are struggling to manage and analyze the massive influx of data from a variety of sources: system and network event logs, application clickstream data, sensor data from robots on the manufacturing floor, and other human-generated and especially machine-generated data sources. In many cases these data are being simply thrown away for lack of an effective means of capturing, storing, and analyzing them. RDBMS’s with their comparatively rigid data models and transactional focus can be cumbersome for developers to adapt to the varying data types and flexible analysis models required of these data sets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•The need to scale out horizontally to overcome the processing and availability limitations of a single or small number of monolithic servers presents complex distributed computing challenges. A given database node can only be so big before it can’t handle the compute needs of the applications trying to access its data, and before it becomes too big to fail. Splitting the compute demands across multiple servers can address both performance and availability concerns, in much the same way that parallelizing I/O across multiple spindles in a RAID set can help aggregate throughput and improve reliability. But all of that distribution and parallelization comes at a cost – writing performant, distributed applications is difficult business and places its own demands on the network, compute, and storage for concurrency, synchronization, locking, and especially failure and recovery. Historically it’s been painful for developers to have to reinvent the distributed application wheel with each new app.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Acknowledging these difficulties with the traditional RDMBS+SAN/NAS model, a new breed of applications and underlying data management frameworks have emerged over the last decade intending to handle the needs of big data sets in a cost-effective and timely manner. Hadoop has become one of the most popular choices for big data problems, as it was purpose-built to address these shortcomings. In Part 2 of this post, I’ll take a closer look at how Hadoop works in this context.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Application developers and data analysts are demanding fast access to ever larger data sets so they can not only reduce or even eliminate sampling errors in their queries (query the entire raw data set!), but they can also begin to ask new questions that were either not conceivable or not practical using traditional software and infrastructure. Hadoop emerged in this data arms race as a favored alternative to the RDBMS and SAN/NAS storage model. In this second half of the post, I’ll discuss how Hadoop was specifically designed to address these limitations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hadoop’s origins derive from two seminal Google white papers from 2003-4, the first describing the Google Filesystem (GFS) for persistent, massively scalable, reliable storage and the second the MapReduce framework for distributed data processing, both of which Google used to ingest and crunch the vast amounts of web data needed to provide timely and relevant search results. These papers laid the groundwork for Apache Hadoop’s implementation of MapReduce running on top of the Hadoop Filesystem (HDFS). Hadoop gained an early, dedicated following from companies like Yahoo!, Facebook, and Twitter, and has since found its way into enterprises of all types due to its unconventional approach to data and distributed computing. Hadoop tackles the problems discussed in the following ways:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Hadoop moves the compute to the data, rather than pulling the data from a remote array to the compute over a finite fabric. This model takes advantage of the speed and low cost of local data access and the commoditization of x86 compute, aiming to keep data processing local to the node that owns the data whenever possible. Traffic between individual data nodes is kept to a minimum; a master “Name Node” tracks filesystem metadata and a master “Job Tracker” node orchestrates job task distribution and execution throughout the cluster, but neither are in the direct data access path creating a bottleneck for the data nodes. This is not just a distributed filesystem, of which there are many other examples; this is a distributed filesystem that leverages local processing for application execution and minimizes data movement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Hadoop is designed to scale massively and predictably. Hadoop was built with the assumption that many relatively small and inexpensive computers with local storage could be clustered together to provide a single system with massive aggregated throughput to handle the big data growth problem. Each additional node should provide a proportional increase in capability, and an increase in system load should result in a proportional decrease in job runtime without resulting in full failure. Shared-disk RDBMS clusters might be lucky to scale to a few dozen nodes with any sort of linearity, whereas 1,000-node (and greater) Hadoop clusters aren’t uncommon. Every additional node means more storage capacity and more performance (measured in job completion times and/or the ability to support additional concurrent jobs). This makes for a more predictable system that in turn evokes high utilization rates – the more predicable, the more work you can throw at it without fear of it falling over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Hadoop is designed to support partial failure and recoverability. With the assumption of a distributed, scalable, shared-nothing architecture built atop inexpensive servers as the foundation, Hadoop set out to ensure that the system would continue to function predictably and reliably despite failures and possibly recovery of individual components. Servers, storage, and networks were assumed to be unreliable, and the framework was designed to gracefully deal with a high degree of infrastructure unpredictability. Data is (by default) replicated three times in the cluster; data nodes can come and go without forcing a cluster or even a job restart; and the results of a job are consistent across runs despite potential failures (and/or recoveries!) during a given run. Failure and recovery is part of Hadoop’s DNA, not a retrofit, alleviating the difficult and time consuming requirement for developers to reinvent the failure/recovery wheel for every distributed application they write. This is a significant asset that allows developers to focus on the data and the questions they want to ask, rather than worrying about how to code for a wonky hard drive or dead NIC.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Hadoop provides a powerful and flexible data analytics framework, and alleviates many cumbersome distributed computing coding challenges. There’s always overhead in a parallel coding routine – it takes some work to break up a job intelligently into smaller chunks, distribute those chunks evenly across available resources, monitor the job queues as they execute to try to keep available CPUs busy (but not too busy), and then retrieve and consolidate the results. The effort is frequently worth the trouble for large data-set analytics problems (Amdahl’s Law notwithstanding), but the coding work can be painstaking. Hadoop, in addition to alleviating concerns about handling complex failure and recovery scenarios in distributed application code, also simplifies coding tasks for job distribution, parallelization, and result aggregation. Again, this capability is Hadoop’s raison d’être, not some bolt-on feature enhancement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;None of this is to say that Hadoop is magic and masks poorly written applications. Sloppy and inefficient code is still sloppy and inefficient when run on Hadoop; it’s just now widely distributed and fault tolerant. :) But as a result of a dedicated and rigorous approach to these design principles, Hadoop solves many of the infrastructure problems faced by big data application developers, and frees them to focus on the data and their questions, and less so on the mechanics of distribution. Hadoop’s flexible data model, its reliable and cost effective storage system, and its efficient analytics engine allows IT departments to capture, retain, and analyze data that otherwise might go to waste or lie dormant. It is not a replacement for the RDBMS and SAN or NAS array, but it does provide an effective new alternative tool for enterprises to extract business value out of the flood of data being generated in their data centers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-5537832543264837218?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/5537832543264837218/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=5537832543264837218' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5537832543264837218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5537832543264837218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-hadoop-part-1.html' title='Why Hadoop?'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-6042016993541010687</id><published>2011-11-16T09:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T09:44:34.314-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Processamento'/><title type='text'>Intel apresenta chip de 50 núcleos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Por IDG News Service / EUA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Intel mostrou pela primeira vez esta semana, durante a conferência de supercomputação SC 11 um protótipo do seu chip de codinome Knights Corner, que possui mais de 50 núcleos desenvolvidos para lidar com tarefas de computação de alto desempenho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n04W28jSNh0/TsP2dYLOjzI/AAAAAAAADeA/ISIQ1MiWwpw/s1600/intel-knights-corner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n04W28jSNh0/TsP2dYLOjzI/AAAAAAAADeA/ISIQ1MiWwpw/s320/intel-knights-corner.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A fabricante também aproveitou o evento para falar sobre seus futuros chips de servidor Xeon E5, que são baseados na microarquitetura Sandy Bridge e estão presentes em 10 dos supercomputadores mais rápidos do mundo. Um dos processadores da família E5, o E5-2600, entrega o dobro da performance do chip de servidor Xeon 5600, que utiliza a arquitetura anterior da Intel, a Westmere, informou o diretor do grupo de computação técnica da empresa, Joe Curley.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ambos os chips, Knights Corner e E5, estão sendo colocados em um supercomputador chamado Stampede, que será implementado em 2013 no centro de computação avançada da Universidade do Texas. O supercomputador alcançará ápices de desempenho de 10 petaflops (ou 10 trilhões de operações por segundo). Os processadores E5 assumirão 20% da performance do supercomputador, enquanto que os 80% restantes (ou 8 petaflops) ficarão a cargo do Knights Corner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O supercomputador mais rápido da atualidade é o K Computer, do Instituto Avançado Riken para Ciência Computacional do Japão, que alcança cerca de 10 petaflops em performance, de acordo com a lista Top500 dos supercomputadores mais rápidos do mundo, que foi publicada nesta segunda-feira, 14/11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O Knights Corner mistura núcleos de padrão x86 com núcleos especializados e funciona como um acelerador, juntamente com a CPU, para impulsionar a performance de aplicativos paralelos.

By launching cloud-based compute instances on an as-needed basis, you can avoid waiting in lengthy queues for limited access to shared resources.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We've pushed the bounds of cloud-based HPC in the past with the introduction of our Cluster Compute and Cluster GPU instances. Both of these instance types have been used in a wide variety of High Performance Computing scenarios (See our High Performance Computing page for even more info).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Today we are introducing a new member of the Cluster Compute Family, the Cluster Compute Eight Extra Large. The API name of this instance is cc2.8xlarge so we've taken to calling it the CC2 for short. This instance features some incredible specifications at a remarkably low price. Let's take a look at the specs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Processing &lt;/strong&gt;- The CC2 instance type includes 2 Intel Xeon processors, each with 8 hardware cores. We've enabled Hyper-Threading, allowing each core to process a pair of instruction streams in parallel. Net-net, there are 32 hardware execution threads and you can expect 88 EC2 Compute Units (ECU's) from this 64-bit instance type. That's nearly 90x the rating of the original EC2 small instance, and almost 3x the rating of the first-generation Cluster Compute instance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storage&lt;/strong&gt; - On the storage front, the CC2 instance type is packed with 60.5 GB of RAM and 3.37 TB of instance storage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Networking&lt;/strong&gt; - As a member of our Cluster Compute family, this instance is connected to a 10 Gigabit network and offers low latency connectivity with full bisection bandwidth to other CC2 instances within a Placement Group. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pricing - You can launch an On-Demand CC2 instance for just $2.40 per hour. You can buy Reserved Instances, and you can also bid for CC2 time on the EC2 Spot Market. We have also lowered the price of the existing CC1 instances to $1.30 per hour.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;You have the flexibility to choose the pricing model that works for you based on your application, your budget, your deadlines, and your ability to utilize the instances. We believe that the price-performance of this new instance type, combined with the number of ways that you can choose to acquire it, will result in a compelling value for scientists, engineers, and researchers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Operating Systems -&lt;/strong&gt; This instance type uses hardware-assisted virtualization (HVM), so you'll need to choose an AMI accordingly. You can use the Amazon Linux AMI or Windows 2008 R2. You can also install HPC Pack 2008 R2 Express (read Microsoft's HPC Server FAQ for more info).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We have updated the Amazon EC2: Microsoft Windows Guide with instructions on setting up an HPC cluster complete with an Active Directory Domain Controller, a DNS server, a Head Node and one or more Compute Nodes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speed&lt;/strong&gt; - We have submitted benchmark results for HPL to the Top500 site. The November list came out earlier today and we are ranked at position number 42, with a speed of 240.09 teraFLOPS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On a somewhat smaller scale, you can launch your own array of 290 CC2 instances and create a Top500 supercomputer (63.7 teraFLOPS) at a cost of less than $1000 per hour (perhaps a lot less, depending on conditions in the Spot Market). This result was obtained using a cluster of 1064 instances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Launch&lt;/strong&gt; - My colleague Dr. Matt Wood cooked up a CloudFormation template to make it easy for you to get started with CC2 instances. The template uses MIT's StarCluster to create a fully functioning cluster for loosely coupled or tightly parallel compute tasks with a single click. Matt says that the template will do the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Provision a new 2 node CC2 cluster with 32 hyperthreaded cores, into a new placement group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•Attach NFS storage, monitoring, and a 200 GB AWS Public Data Set.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The template creates a new t1.micro instance, which acts as a controller for the rest of the elastic cluster. From a basic Amazon Linux AMI, CloudFormation bootstraps all dependencies, installs and configures StarCluster and creates the necessary security credentials before provisioning the CC2 instances which spin up ready to accept jobs via Sun Grid Engine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;You can spin up the stack, log in to the controller instance and hop onto the cluster master to submit jobs, or scale the ad-hoc cluster up and down in just a few clicks. That's pretty cool for just 169 lines of declarative JSON. You can get started very quickly with this friendly button:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We are making the CC2 instance available as a public beta so a few caveats apply:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•The instances are available in a single Availability Zone in the US East (Northern Virginia) Region. We plan to add capacity in other EC2 Regions throughout 2012. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in CC2 support in other Regions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•You can run 2 CC2 instances by default. If you would like to run larger jobs, please submit an EC2 instance increase request.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;•You cannot currently launch instances of this type within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supercomputing 11&lt;/strong&gt; - The AWS team will be out in force at the Supercomputing 11 conference (November 12-18 in Seattle); here's a summary of AWS activities at SC11. Our booth (#6202) will be open from the 14th to the 17th (come by and say hello). My colleague Dr. Deepak Singh, will participate in a panel on SaaS-Based Research. Deepak will host a BoF session on HPC in the Cloud ; Matt Wood will host a session on Genomics in the Cloud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What can you do with a supercomputer of your very own?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-2744810946245544921?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/2744810946245544921/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=2744810946245544921' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2744810946245544921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2744810946245544921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/next-generation-cluster-computing-on.html' title='Next Generation Cluster Computing on Amazon EC2 - The CC2 Instance Type'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-3949547154896776903</id><published>2011-11-10T15:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T15:36:42.599-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Now Open - US West (Oregon) Region</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Jeff Barr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We have just opened up another AWS Region!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This one is located in the Pacific Northwest area of the United States, in the beautiful state of Oregon, and offers low-cost, low-latency access to our services from the Western portion of the US.

justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mas 80% disseram que a migração para a computação em nuvem foi impulsionada pelos esforços para melhorar os processos, oferecendo mais agilidade à empresa toda; 79% dos usuários e 76% dos profissionais afirmaram considerar que a nuvem oferece benefícios técnicos, em alguns casos, e melhorias que, de outra forma, não poderiam ser obtidas de seus próprios centros de processamento de dados; e 76% disseram que a computação em nuvem traria benefícios estratégicos, possivelmente incluindo a transformação de seus modelos de negócios para obter vantagens competitivas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Os executivos cujas empresas utilizariam uma estratégia de computação em nuvem concordam que haverá um aumento significativo nos custos em 2012. De acordo com a pesquisa da KPMG, 17% afirmam que os gastos com a tecnologia em nuvem seriam superiores a 20% do orçamento total de TI em 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dos executivos de TI das empresas em que foi ou será adotada a computação em nuvem, 50% consideram que a segurança é o desafio ou a preocupação mais importante, em comparação com 42% dos executivos das unidades de negócios. Por outro lado, 51% dos integrantes da comunidade provedora da tecnologia em nuvem declaram que a segurança está no topo de suas listas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Os executivos da unidade de negócios (29%) compartilharam as mesmas preocupações sobre desempenho com os seus colegas de TI (30%). A governança de TI foi apontada como principal desafio entre 22% dos líderes de TI, sendo, contudo, citada por apenas 17% dos usuários de negócios. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Quase um quinto (19%) dos executivos de TI afirmaram considerar a perda de controle sobre os dados dos clientes como o principal desafio, em comparação com 14% dos entrevistados entre seus colegas de operações. A conformidade regulatória foi indicada como o principal desafio entre 16% dos executivos das empresas, em comparação com apenas 10% dos líderes de TI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Realizada em 15 países, entre fevereiro e abril de 2011, a pesquisa da KPMG ouviu 806 executivos de empresas que utilizam ou planejam utilizar computação em nuvem, bem como 123 executivos de prestadores de serviços de computação em nuvem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-5772757651019554280?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/5772757651019554280/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=5772757651019554280' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5772757651019554280'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5772757651019554280'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/cios-dedicam-mais-de-20-dos-orcamentos.html' title='CIOs dedicam mais de 20% dos orçamentos de TI para nuvem em 2012'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-2246874234348671442</id><published>2011-11-07T11:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-07T11:43:24.863-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Riscos'/><title type='text'>Mestrado na FEA-USP - A Questão dos Riscos em Ambientes de Computação em Nuvem</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Fonte : FEA-USP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A tese de mestrado de Sidney Chaves, defendida no dia 24 de outubro, identifica os riscos de computação em nuvem, além de tentar compreendê-los e indicar formas de gerenciamento, a partir do método Delphi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O conceito de computação de nuvem envolve a memória e capacidade de armazenamento e cálculo de computadores e servidores compartilhados e interligados por meio da Internet. O armazenamento de dados é feito em serviços que podem ser acessados de qualquer lugar, a qualquer hora, descartando a necessidade de instalação de programas - o acesso é feito de forma remota, através da Internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O trabalho combina a pesquisa de riscos com computação de nuvem, vista como um estágio mais avançado do que a terceirização convencional de serviços de TI por ir além da própria hospedagem de aplicativos. O foco da pesquisa foi como reconhecer e lidar com os riscos inerentes, sob a ótica do consumidor de serviços, dentro desse contexto de risco controlado. O trabalho visa preencher uma lacuna nessa discussão mais ampla sobre o tema, tanto no meio acadêmico quanto no meio empresarial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O método Delphi, criado na década de 50 pela Rand Corporation, é um método sistemático e interativo de estimativa que se baseia na experiência independente de vários especialistas, que respondem a um questionário em um ou mais ciclos. Caracteristicas desse método são o anonimato, feedback controlado e estatística associada à resposta coletiva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Os riscos obtidos nos ciclos foram confrontados com os encontrados na literatura e enumerados e classificados. São os seguintes: dificuldade para integrar, imaturidade do modelo, falta de privacidade, baixo desempenho, baixa interoperabilidade, incapacidade do provedor, dificuldade para escalar, suporte inadequado, não conformidade, não continuidade, indisponibilidade e aprisionamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A partir dessa relação, foram sugeridas recomendações relativas a riscos, como considerar a avaliação dos riscos como atividade mandatória e minimizar o esforço a ser aplicado na identificação dos riscos, utilizando como ponto de partida o elenco de riscos estabelecido na pesquisa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mestrado Administração&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Sidney Chaves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Tema: A Questão dos Riscos em Ambientes de Computação em Nuvem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Orientador: Prof. Dr. César Alexandre de Souza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Comissão: Profs.

It is an open source cloud computing platform that integrates with multiple hypervisors - including Xen, KVM, and VMware - and implements the industry standard Amazon Web Services (AWS) API. This flexibility and adherence to industry standards provides the customer with significant operational and financial benefits, but leaves the customer in control of their infrastructure and cloud strategy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Eucalyptus was born as a University project of the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The name Eucalyptus is an acronym and stands for Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems. In 2009, the Eucalyptus team started a company (Eucalyptus Systems Inc.) to commercialize Eucalyptus. Currently there is Eucalyptus, the open source project, and Eucalyptus EE (Enterprise Edition), which is the commercial version of Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus clouds benefit from a number of key characteristics, including:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;the open source nature of the product, modular, distributed, and scalable design,&amp;nbsp; the ability to work with multiple hypervisors, and the ability to deploy hybrid cloud solutions via adherence to the industry-standard Amazon Web Services API. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-2660578208428864958?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/2660578208428864958/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=2660578208428864958' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2660578208428864958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/2660578208428864958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/11/introduction-to-eucalyptus.html' title='Introduction to Eucalyptus'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-3669992125612123541</id><published>2011-10-29T16:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T13:30:46.047-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Amazon'/><title type='text'>Disaster Recovery (DR) com o AWS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jinesh Varia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Disaster Recovery (DR) is one of most important use cases that we hear from our customers. Having your own DR site in the cloud ready and on standby, without having to pay for the hardware, power, bandwidth, cooling, space and system administration and quickly launch resources in cloud, when you really need it (when disaster strikes in your datacenter) makes the AWS cloud the perfect solution for DR. You can quickly recover from a disaster and ensure business continuity of your applications while keeping your costs down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Disaster Recovery is about preparing for and recovering from a disaster. Any event that has a negative impact on your business’ continuity or finances could be termed a disaster. This could be hardware or software failure, a network outage, a power outage, physical damage to a building like fire or flooding, human error, or some other significant disaster. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In that regard, we are very excited to release Using AWS for Disaster Recovery Whitepaper. The paper highlights various AWS features and services that you can leverage for your DR processes and shows different architectural approaches on how to recover from a disaster. Depending on your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) - two commonly used industry terms when building your DR strategy - you have the flexibility to choose the right approach that fits your budget. The approaches could be as minimum as backup and restore from the cloud or full-scale multi-site solution deployed in onsite and AWS with data replication and mirroring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The paper further provides recommendations on how you can improve your DR plan and leverage the full potential of AWS for your Disaster Recovery processes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Download Whitepaper (PDF) - (more whitepapers available at &lt;a href="http://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers"&gt;http://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;AWS cloud not only makes it cost-effective to do DR in the cloud but also makes it easy, secure and reliable. With APIs and right automation in place, you can fire up and test whether you DR solution really works (and do that every month, if you like) and be prepared ahead of time. You can reduce your recovery times by quickly provisioning pre-configured resources (AMIs) when you need them or cutover to already provisioned DR site (and then scaling gradually as you need). You can bake the necessary security best practices into an AWS CloudFormation template and provision the resources in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). All at the fraction of the cost of conventional DR. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;How are you using the cloud for Disaster Recovery today?

The Open Compute Project, an initiative begun in April by Facebook, is gaining partners, momentum and structure. Yesterday it unveiled a new foundation and board to shepherd the burgeoning movement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;While the Open Compute initiative is focused on the needs of Internet companies with huge “scale out” infrastructure, the list of marquee names at yesterday’s summit hinted at a future in which the benefits of open source hardware could expand to the enterprise market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“What began a few short months ago as an audacious idea — what if hardware were open? — is now a fully formed industry initiative, with a clear vision, a strong base to build from and significant momentum,” said Frank Frankovsky, Hardware Design and Supply Chain at Facebook of Facebook. “We are officially on our way.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“This is a momentous time in our history,” said Andy Bechtolsheim, a board member of the new Open Compute Foundation. This is the future of efficiency and large-scale design in the data center.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Open Compute Project was launched in April to publish data center designs developed by Facebook for its Prineville, Oregon data center, as well as the company’s custom designs for servers, power supplies and UPS units. Facebook’s decision to open source its designs prompted expectations that the move could democratize data center infrastructure, making cutting-edge designs available to companies that can’t afford their own design team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;If the project doesn’t succeed, it won’t be for lack of support. Yesterday’s second Open Compute Summit in New York featured appearances from executives for some of the sector’s leading names – Intel, Dell, Amazon, Facebook, Red Hat and Goldman Sachs. The audience was filled with data center thought leaders from Google, Microsoft, Rackspace and many other companies with large data center operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;That turnout is not an isolated event, but reflects a growing focus on collaborative projects to reduce cost, timelines and inefficiency in data center construction and operation. The Open Compute project is just one of a handful of initiatives to bring standards and repeatable designs to IT infrastructure. These include the Open Data Center Alliance, Open Networking Foundation, Open Source Routing Forum and OpenStack Foundation to develop a cloud computing platform. What’s driving all this openness?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Some of the ‘rules’ that drive our industry are wrong, and sharing data will help change that,” said James Hamilton, a Distinguished Engineer at Amazon Web Services, who noted shifts in industry practice on data center temperature and humidity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Progress happens when people get frustrated with something,” said Bechtolsheim, founder of Sun Microsystems and now Arista Networks, a fast-growing player in the networking industry. “This is the first time we have a true standard where companies don’t have to reinvent (their data center technology). This principle could be expanded. In this new world, we believe the effect will be very similar to the impact of open source software.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;One of the critiques of the Open Compute designs is that they are optimized for companies running huge, homogenous Internet infrastructures and are not appropriate for many enterprise data centers. Frankovsky says this is an important focus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Scale computing has specific needs,” he said. “Focusing on this space and its efficiency is one of our key points. By binding together as a community, our voice will be better heard on scale computing.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;There are signs that the Open Compute designs could become more practical for a broader array of data center customers in the future. One of the new participants in the project is Digital Realty Trust, the world’s largest operator of third-party data center space. Frankovsky said Digital Realty is interested in developing approaches to adapting some of its build-to-suit designs for companies adopting Open Compute designs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Missing from the dais were companies specializing in power, cooling and mechanical design – areas where Open Compute designs are being shared. “There is absolutely a role for the power and cooling vendors,” said Frankovsky. “I think that would probably be the next wave of contributions you would see.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Will open hardware change the way data centers are designed and built? “We’re at a crossroads,” said Jimmy Pike, Chief Architect at Dell Data Center Solutions. “We’re at a time when we can work together and share knowledge to help things happen quickly.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-8318414434228567057?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/8318414434228567057/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=8318414434228567057' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/8318414434228567057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/8318414434228567057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/10/can-open-hardware-transform-datacenter.html' title='Can Open Hardware Transform the DATACENTER?'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-7586495567753501036</id><published>2011-10-29T15:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-29T15:25:06.825-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTER-World'/><title type='text'>Facebook Goes Global With DATACENTER in Sweden</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;By: Rich Miller&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Facebook will build a huge new data center in northern Sweden to support the rapid global growth of its users, the company said today. The new data center in Lulea, Sweden will be Facebook’s first facility outside the United States. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The location takes advantage of the cool climate in Lulea, a seaside town of 45,000 located at approximately the same latitude as Fairbanks, Alaska. That cool weather will allow Facebook to use outside air to cool the tens of thousands of servers that will occupy the new campus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Facebook plans to build multiple data centers in Lulea, beginning with a 27,000 square meter (290,000 square foot) first phase that will be completed in late 2012 and begin supporting traffic in the first half of 2013.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Electricity from Green Power Sources&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Facebook Lulea data center will be powered primarily by renewable energy, a change from the social network’s first two company-built data centers in Oregon and North Carolina, which each relied upon utility power that originated primarily from coal. Facebook’s power sourcing had been highlighted by the environmental group Greenpeace, which launched a lengthy campaign urging Facebook to “Unfriend Dirty Coal.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The expansion of Facebook’s infrastructure beyond the U.S. reflects the increasingly global makeup of its user base. More than 75 percent of Facebook’s 800 million users are located outside the United States. Building data centers closer to these users can improve the speed of their connection and overall Facebook experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“It’s the next step in our ongoing strategy of building our own infrastructure and moving away from leased facilities,” said Facebook spokesman Michael Kirkland. “We are expecting this data center to continue to help us reduce latency for our users in Europe and beyond.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Sweden: Climate, Connectivity, Green Power&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Facebook announcement is being celebrated in Sweden, and particularly in Lulea, where economic development officials have been marketing the region as a data center destination due to its combination of a cool climate, strong connectivity and plentiful supply of cheap, renewable energy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“The cool, dry climate will allow us to continue our practice of using outside air to cool our data centers,” said Kirkland. The average daily temperature in Lulea ranges from high of 41 degrees F (5 degrees C) to low of 27 degrees F (-2.5 degrees C). The area averages just four days a year with high temperatures exceeding 25°C (77 degrees F).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Sweden is ranked second in the world for its telecommunications infrastructure by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), trailing only South Korea. Lulea has connectivity from five carriers: backbone provider TeliaSonera and Tele 2, TDC, Telenor and Banverket.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Energy Sourcing an “Important Consideration”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The nearby Lule River produces about 13.6 million megawatt hours of hydro-electric power, equal to 10 percent of Sweden’s total demand for electricity. Officials in Lulea say the area has some of the cheapest power rates in all of Europe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“This will be the first Facebook data center powered primarily by renewable power, primarily hydro,” said Kirkland. “It’s a really important consioderation for us. Obviously, it’s not the only consideration.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“This is a great step forward for Facebook, but we would like more details on how much renewable energy will power its data centre in Luleå,” said Casey Harrell, Greenpeace IT analyst. “With the IT sector one of the fastest growing consumers of electricity in the world, Facebook’s taking leadership on renewable energy could help determine whether we have a dirty ‘cloud’ or not.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Facebook says the Lulea facility with be an energy-efficient data center, and employ many of the techniques used to conserve power at its Prineville site. The Oregon facility uses evaporative cooling instead of a chiller system, continuing a trend towards chiller-less data centers and water conservation. Facebook also says it will use waste heat from servers to heat office areas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Inside the building, Facebook is expected to implement the server and data center designs outlined in the Open Compute Project, which the company launched in February to release its custom designs for servers, power supplies and UPS units.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;We’ll have more details on the new facility after today’s press conference in Sweden and the Facebook Open Compute Summit in New York&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-7586495567753501036?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/7586495567753501036/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=7586495567753501036' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7586495567753501036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7586495567753501036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/10/facebook-goes-global-with-datacenter-in.html' title='Facebook Goes Global With DATACENTER in Sweden'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-9165564643467180488</id><published>2011-10-23T05:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T05:30:39.374-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Brasil'/><title type='text'>Clientes HP 3PAR poderão replicar dados na Alog</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Clientes HP poderão replicar dados na Alog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Por Rafael Ferrer, de INFO Online &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A HP anunciou hoje que os clientes de seu serviço de armazenamento 3PAR terão a opção de contratar a Alog Data Centers como ponto de replicação de dados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Segundo a Alog, o investimento inicial nesta parceria foi de US$ 1 milhão somente no sistema de armazenamento.

O processo de escolha foi via RFP (request for proposal), alinhando as propostas com as necessidades da empresa. “Priorizamos escalabilidade dos serviços, preço e flexibilidade, e, ao afunilar as opções da concorrência, encontramos na Alog os melhores serviços”, esclareceu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A terceirização do ambiente de TI trouxe a necessidade de substituir servidores existentes por outros mais novos e robustos, para dar mais rapidez aos sistemas. “Acredito que a contratação de serviços de outsoucing traz inúmeras vantagens, pois a companhia fica responsável pela infraestrutura, operação, monitoramento e fornecimento de energia, caso ocorra algum problema”, explicou Sant’ana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Com as mudanças, todos os processos de segurança da empresa foram revistos, e a Axismed também adotou soluções on demand da própria Alog, como backup, storage, serviços de firewall, incluindo, dessa forma, políticas de contingência. “Com esses componentes temos a garantia de estar usando o que há de mais moderno no mercado”, disse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Segundo Sant’ana, a migração foi relativamente simples e realizada aos finais de semana, para não comprometer o andamento das operações. Assim, o processo foi dividido em duas etapas: primeiro com a migração parcial para fase de testes, e, no fim de semana seguinte, a migração total. “Todo o planejamento foi pensado e executado pela nossa equipe, em conjunto com a Alog e todos participaram ativamente do processo”, explicou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Um fator importante citado pelo CIO foi o apoio da empresa e dos funcionários para a execução dos processos. “A empresa acredita que TI é importante e isso traz maior credibilidade para a empresa. Já os funcionários se sentiram satisfeitos por saber que a companhia se preocupa com o futuro”, revelou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O contrato de prestação de serviço é de três anos e servirá como alicerce para as próximas fases do crescimento da companhia. “Temos em mente o crescimento sustentável para promover sempre alta disponibilidade e continuidade dos serviços”, concluiu Sant’ana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-4700074650231662379?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/4700074650231662379/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=4700074650231662379' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4700074650231662379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/4700074650231662379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/10/em-busca-de-maior-disponibilidade.html' title='Em busca de maior disponibilidade Axismed migra infraestrutura de TI para DATACENTER Alog'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-7424284259280310411</id><published>2011-10-20T02:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-20T02:45:13.414-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-Microsoft'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTER-Power and Cooling'/><title type='text'>Microsoft’s DATACENTER Takes Fresh Approach On Water Reuse</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Microsoft’s DATACENTER Takes Fresh Approach On Water Reuse &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;By: Christian Belady, General Manager of Data Center Advanced Development&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Around the globe, water is becoming a scarcer and more valuable commodity, and that’s an important factor for data center operators and cloud service providers to consider as consumers and businesses aggressively adopt cloud-based computing. It’s even more critical that all of us in the industry make sure that beyond building sustainability into our designs, running data centers to higher standardize efficiencies, and measuring impact constantly, that we are helping the industry at large in thinking out of the box. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today offers one of those opportunities. In Quincy, Washington, we are taking steps to transfer the operations of our Water Treatment Plant, located on our data center site, to the City of Quincy. This project involves innovative agreements for promoting a long term sustainable use of a limited natural resource, water, in a desert area that has the added benefit of supporting the foundation of Quincy and Grant County’s growing economy for years to come. To my knowledge, it is the first known transfer of a water treatment plant to a municipality in our industry and I would like to share why I think this type of collaborative project helps the industry and environment benefit as a whole. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z-MEKQRjRgY/Tp_teFao8mI/AAAAAAAADcs/a5OzKZbxIZ8/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="277" rda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z-MEKQRjRgY/Tp_teFao8mI/AAAAAAAADcs/a5OzKZbxIZ8/s400/untitled.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Microsoft’s Quincy, Washington Water Treatment Plant&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Microsoft’s current water treatment plant extracts the minerals from the potable water supply prior to using that water in cooling our local 500,000 square foot data center. (Note: our new modular Quincy data center that went live in January 2011 uses airside economization for cooling and substantially less water).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Moving forward, the City of Quincy will lease the water treatment plant from Microsoft for $10 annually and will provide the company with reduced water rates, with an option to buy it after 30 years. The plant will be operated, maintained and managed by the city with a right to purchase the plant after that time. By loaning these assets to the City, they were able to save significant construction costs for the new Reuse System.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The strategic location of the water treatment plant will also benefit other local businesses and industrial users, such as other data centers, food storage processing companies, etc. The City of Quincy plans to retrofit the plant as an expanded industrial reuse system in two phases. Following the first phase, the system will generate approximately 400,000 gallons per day (150 million gallons per year) using food processor wastewater effluent. The second phase upgrade is projected to produce 2.5 to 3.0 million gallons per day (1 billion gallons per year), with about 20 percent being used by local industries and the remaining being used to recharge the aquifer around Quincy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This collaborative partnership with the City of Quincy solves a local sustainability need by taking a fresh look at integrating our available resources and allows Microsoft to focus on its core expertise in meeting the needs of its customers who use our Online, Live and Cloud Services such as Hotmail, Bing, BPOS, Office 365, Windows Live, Xbox Live and the Windows Azure platform.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As I have said before, we will continue to look for ways to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of resources, including water, in our data center designs. Today, this project reflects our firm commitment to that vision. I hope it also sets the stage for a healthy discussion within our industry to continue to explore ways to share our investments and best practices within the industry and regions in which we do business.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-7424284259280310411?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/7424284259280310411/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=7424284259280310411' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7424284259280310411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/7424284259280310411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/10/microsofts-datacenter-takes-fresh.html' title='Microsoft’s DATACENTER Takes Fresh Approach On Water Reuse'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z-MEKQRjRgY/Tp_teFao8mI/AAAAAAAADcs/a5OzKZbxIZ8/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-8707460637596084984</id><published>2011-10-19T12:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T12:50:21.976-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Containers'/><title type='text'>Container DATACENTER da GEMELO chega ao País</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;InformationWeek&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Gemelo foca em mobilidade e custos reduzidos para ganhar espaço com nova oferta. Companhia espera atender grandes eventos como Copa do Mundo e Olimpíada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NVAL2hBXWig/Tp8p8_TdJyI/AAAAAAAADck/WK0aop7wf5Y/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="290" rda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NVAL2hBXWig/Tp8p8_TdJyI/AAAAAAAADck/WK0aop7wf5Y/s400/untitled.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Outsorcing deixou de ser uma tendência de mercado para se tornar realidade entre empresas dos mais variados setores nos processos de TI. De olho na tendência, a Gemelo traz ao mercado brasileiro uma nova opção para rodar sistemas: o primeiro container data center (CDC) do mercado projetado e desenvolvido no Brasil. “A idéia principal deste projeto é adaptar o que existe no mercado moldando a maneira do cliente, entendendo as suas especificidades em um conceito flexível e criativo”, explicou Sidney Fabiani, presidente da Gemelo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A companhia estudou o mercado mundial para entender quais as principais necessidades e problemas enfrentados pelas empresas, bem como os desafios dos CIOs ao optarem por serviço de full outsourcing. Diante deste cenário, identificou grande demanda das corporaçõess por serviço de data center, mas, também, escassez no mercado, culminado diretamente no aumento de preços, chegando a ser de quatro a oito vezes maior, se comparado com o ano passado. Com o levantamento, notou-se também que grande parte das companhias ainda busca segurança e opta por contratar grandes fornecedores. “Notamos que CIOs têm a preocupação de como o processo vai ser feito e quem vai cuidar do funcionamento, então, criamos serviços que promovam mobilidade e rapidez em um sistema operado, resultando em economia”, exemplificou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dessa forma, o container DATACENTER foi projetado e desenvolvido para atender a quatro principais demandas do mercado, DC anywere, podendo ser transportado para qualquer lugar, mobilidade, atendendo empresas que não podem se deslocar, disaster recovery, onde o CDC pode atuar como o segundo data center da empresa, sem ter que investir em infraestrutura,e, por fim, serviços de cloud. “Conseguimos trazer o melhor custo benefício ao oferecer o menor tempo de implantação em uma ferramenta customizável e diferenciada”, calcula.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Com investimento de R$ 2 milhões de reais no desenvolvimento, o CDC contém 17 racks e pode suportar três mil servidores e conta com inovações tecnológicas como: sistema inteligente de detecção de incêndio, podendo identificar um problema com até 12 horas de antecedência, controle de acesso, por sistema biométrico termo-facial, e sistema de refrigeração, onde o ar quente é separado do ar frio e feito a gás. “Com este sistema, conseguimos redução de 40% no consumo de energia”, disse Fabiani.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ainda segundo o executivo, com o lançamento do novo data center móvel, a empresa pretende estar preparada para realização de grandes eventos, atendendo grandes construtoras, shows, mas, principalmente, Olimpíada e Copa do Mundo. “Estamos preparados para atender grandes acontecimentos por um período de tempo, como é o caso, por exemplo, da Copa, evitando altos custos com infraestrutura”, revelou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The future data center will be driven completely by software, according to VMware Senior Vice President and General Manager for Cloud Infrastructure and Management Raghu Raghuram. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Speaking at the opening keynote on day two of VMWorld Europe in Copenhagen today, Rahuguram painted a picture of a data center without staff, running as a cloud entity – and he said given work VMware and partners are doing now, it is not too far off in the future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“In the data center you will go from a world of manual operations to a world of complete automation,” Raghuram said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“This is already being done today, but in very few, very large, data centers but we (VMware) believe we can bring the model of the software driven data center to enterprise customers.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;He gave the example of the Switch NAP data center in Las Vegas which has created a data center design that allows for extremely dense power supply using large numbers of virtual machines. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Going forward, data centers will start to measure density by how many virtual machines they can deploy,” Rhaguram said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;He said data centers will be driven to use increasing amounts of software in an effort to overcome the increasing costs of hardware, the desire to increasingly optimize the data center- a move already being seen even in hardware design areas like the network and storage rely more and more on software and the rise of new application architectures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Raghuram said VMware is working towards 100% virtualization of the data center with products that enhance automation, provisioning of applications and actions driven by policy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“The next great piece of software that will help with data center automation will do data center provisioning. If you truly want to automate operations you want to ensure you place applications in the right part of the data center, without manually having to count the parts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“We are on the boundaries now of intelligent policy management. In the future, applications and application owners will come to the data center with a manifest – a set of requirements that will describe the security needs and performance objectives and the software will find the right place for this particular application [in the data center].” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Software will also ensure applications and data is being used in a way that complies with legislation, one of the key barriers to companies adopting public cloud models at present, according to Rahuguram. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“You have your data center, which is highly compliant, and then you have the public cloud, where anything goes." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;He said by attributing policy settings to applications before they enter the data center, the public cloud can then have the same levels of protection as the data center , with the same end point protection, firewalls, DLP and other settings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-3850916690415678900?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/3850916690415678900/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=3850916690415678900' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/3850916690415678900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/3850916690415678900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/10/software-key-to-future-datacenter.html' title='Software key to future DATACENTER'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-5484045029411323331</id><published>2011-10-17T17:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T17:12:11.254-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Containers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DATACENTERS-Faclities'/><title type='text'>New Microsoft DATACENTER Design</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Rich Miller &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Microsoft's data center design can change significantly from one phase to the next, as seen in this aerial view of Quincy, Washington.

The nearly complete West Des Moines data center showcases Microsoft’s use of factory-built modules to rapidly deploy flexible, highly-efficient IT capacity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A month ago Microsoft (MSFT) announced an expansion of the $200 million facility to double the size. Local officials told the Des Moines Register that the changes were related to performance issues with the initial deployment. “I think they’re finding out that the individual units are not working so well in the Iowa humidity,” West Des Moines city planner Lynne Twedt told the city’s plan and zoning commission Wednesday. “They’re going to a different plan of attack with this one.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Steel Building for Phase 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Phase 1 of the West Des Moines facility uses modular data center components placed outdoors. Microsoft says its inclusion of a steel building for the expansion was taken out of context.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“The decision to go with a different type of modular building form factor for Phase 2 has nothing to do with Iowa’s weather,” said Microsoft’s Christian Belady. “They are new design models that our research and development teams have determined are even more cost effective, efficient, and sustainable for the services we will be deploying from them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Our infrastructure designs for our modular facilities, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 in the West Des Moines facility, use outside air with evaporative cooling. They are developed, along with our servers, to address the ambient weather conditions of the regions in which they located.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;For some time now, leading players in the data center industry have been designing data centers to incorporate outside air into cooling systems. This process, known as “free cooling,” can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in cooling costs by avoiding the need to use refrigeration units (chillers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Microsoft has been among the leaders in creating modular data centers that incorporate outside air into cooling. The company has used some modules that operate outside, and others that are housed within a a lightweight exterior, which Microsoft compares to a “tractor shed,” filled with highly-customizable containers packed with servers, storage and power and cooling infrastructure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Microsoft IT-PAC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Microsoft’s West Des Moines data center is one of three modular facilities we have announced in the past year, with the others located in Quincy, WA and Boydton, VA,” Belady said. “Each of our data centers are evolving ecosystems that need to be flexible enough to quickly meet the demands of our growing customers and the diverse business services we host. Our modular facilities continue to evolve and change as we research and develop new methods to significantly reduce water and energy use, and building costs; while increasing computing capacity and server utilization.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;An example of that evolution is seen in Quincy, where Microsoft operates two data centers. The first is a 470,000 square foot facility with concrete walls filled with traditional raised-floor space. Phase II is a much smaller facility filled with modules. The module design has changed between facilities, evolving from fairly standard containers in Chicago to lightweight aluminum units with louvers built into the side to facilitate airflow for evaporative cooling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In January of this year Microsoft completed their modular “cloud farm” data center in Quincy, Washington. The facility is filled with IT-PACs (for pre-assembled components) modules that hold up to 2,000 servers each. Microsoft recently worked with the city of Quincy to retool the city’s water treatment infrastructure to save millions of gallons of potable water for the local community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Microsoft has not yet offered details on how the design of the second phase in West Des Moines will differ from the first phase, or Microsoft’s other modular facilities. In May Belady told Data Center Knowledge that Microsoft is already developing new facilities optimized for this vision of cloud data centers as “data utilities.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Belady says Microsoft will continue implementing new ways to build data centers for a changing industry. “We’re taking big steps, and we’ll learn along the way,” he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2069422910193040117-5484045029411323331?l=datacenter10.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/feeds/5484045029411323331/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2069422910193040117&amp;postID=5484045029411323331' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5484045029411323331'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2069422910193040117/posts/default/5484045029411323331'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datacenter10.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-microsoft-datacenter-design.html' title='New Microsoft DATACENTER Design'/><author><name>Manoel Veras</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14135911166930050393</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_63NN3GyCHRQ/Svl7d8Z68DI/AAAAAAAACTc/h3MXOzt5ugk/S220/ManoelJr-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O5rpUJ9K3rw/TpzEKHd1FgI/AAAAAAAADcc/9CJUyv7iZ94/s72-c/msft-quincy-aerial2-470.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069422910193040117.post-8061311321716026047</id><published>2011-10-14T14:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-14T14:51:30.339-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLOUDCOMPUTING-SaaS'/><title type='text'>ERP como SaaS é uma tendencia !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Fonte : Convergencia Digital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O ERP (sistema de gestão empresarial) ainda é um dos carros-chefes da Tecnologia da Informação e impulsionado por novos serviços como Software como Serviço (SaaS) e computação na nuvem deverá registrar um crescimento de 14,2% em 2011 no mercado brasileiro, com uma receita estimada de R$ 2,04 bilhões, estima a e-Consulting, empresa brasileira de consultoria, que realizou um estudo sobre o mercado de ERP no Brasil até 2014.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O levantamento mostra que, nos últimos três anos, o mercado brasileiro de ERP faturou R$ 4,72 bilhões, o que representa um crescimento de 26,5% no período. E mais: nos próximos três anos, a tendência é de alta com impulso na taxa de dois dígitos, o que leva a prever que, em 2014, o setor terá um faturamento de R$ 3,02 bilhões. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Nos próximos anos observaremos um crescimento acentuado das vendas para as médias empresas, à medida que se acentua a busca pela profissionalização da gestão.", salienta Thiago Assis, analista sênior da E-Consulting e gerente do estudo. O estudo aponta que o desenvolvimento local para o mercado de ERP acontecerá pela combinação de dois fatores: a forte demanda de clientes e a expansão do portfólio de produtos dos principais fornecedores via aquisições de players menores e nichos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“Mesmo consolidado como tecnologia, o ERP ainda é um dos carros-chefes da TI, seja por conta de seus rollouts, seja por seus upgrades e versionamentos.

The number of top-level strategic business moves related to mergers, acquisitions and the sale or exchange of shares in data center companies has been exceptionally high, demonstrating the growing importance of the region when it comes to the direct presence of operators.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The economic indicators, especially in the technology space, and even more generally in countries such as Brazil, are highly favorable. This is turning Latin America into a destination of choice for providers and companies looking to locate data centers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Analyst group IDC, in its latest annual survey of forecasts for IT and telecommunications in Latin America, said it expects the IT market to grow by 6.3% in 2011. This means growth in Latin America will outpace that in developed economies, driven by the consumer market, increased business activity and the new government focus on the promotion of ICT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Going by forecasts, the PC market, for example, will grow 2.6 times faster in Latin America than it will in developed countries such as the US, Canada, Western Europe and Japan. Markets for IT services and software are also expected to grow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Connectivity in Latin America is also improving. This year will see the mobile broadband market grow along with the huge demand for mobile devices. The number of subscribers of the “small screen”, or those subscribing to mobile data plans through their smart phones, will grow 104% between 2010 and 2011 – this level of growth is expected to be maintained up to and including 2013. The number of subscribers to the “big screen” (laptops / netbooks / tablets) will also grow an estimated 45% in 2011 on 2010 figures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;LATAM&amp;nbsp;enters the Cloud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;IDC predicts that cloud services in the region will exceed a worth of US$200m in 2011 and will continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 60% over the next five years, reaching US$1,000m in 2015. Hosting services, colocation and outsourcing in the region as a result will grow – and this has not gone unnoticed by the broader industry. Gartner analyst Ted Chamberlin recently said he believes the region is one of the safest bets for new builds in regards to emerging nations, as infrastructure is growing in reliance and demand is soaring, and at present the
