Apple Today vs Apple 2000

Friday, September 24th, 2010
I thought this was a funny example of Apple back in 2000 compared to Apple today.  With all the advances in technology that we have infront of us.  The things we bought yesterday are outdated and are virtually useless.  Alright, you can still play Oregon Trail on this old 2000 Mac but it’s just not the same as WOW or any of the other games out there.  No, I do not play World of Warcraft but I do know the game.   We have so much technology at our fingertips, why aren’t we using it?  Are we still using old technology to power our future.
Cloud hosting is the way of the future and the way that we can all move from the old iMac g4 to the new iPhone4.  We can’t host our sites on servers that are 10 years old.  That’s a lie, we really can and we do but they aren’t near as good as the brand new Dell blade cloud servers that are available to us. Cloud servers are the way of the future, will you be the one stuck on the old 2000 server or the new 2010 blade cloud servers?  I’m gunna go with the cloud servers!
Stats:
1. Google shows us that sites that load faster, get better ranking.
2. When a person visits a website, you  have 10 seconds to grab their attention before they are gone. If your website takes 10 seconds to load you might as well wave goodbye to that person.
3. Pay less, get more
4. Only pay for what you use.

Gartner and IDC list cloud computing as a top IT trend for 2010. The foundation of cloud computing is a scale-out server cluster that uses economies of scale to provide computing services to the user. Cloud services include the delivery of applications, platforms, and infrastructure.

Go cloud computing!

Nasuni Upgrades Cloud Gateway

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Nasuni released the 2.0 version of the Nasuni Filer this week, with performance enhancements for Windows environments as well as support for Hyper-V, Windows Azure and DFS namespaces, according to an article posted on Enterprise Storage Forum.

The Nasuni Filer is a virtual file server that leverages cloud resources. The cloud gateway supports Windows CIFS shares, ACL and Active Directory in existing NAS environments, and can be used to consolidate a NAS cluster into a single device.

Available as a downloadable virtual machine  image, the Nasuni Filer 2.0 cache keeps copies of working files in local storage for fast access, and deduplicates, compresses and sends file changes to the cloud.
