Recently the Geminare Cloud Backup has added Indexing, Auditing, Discover. Geminaire recently announced the addition of several features to version 2.0 of its Cloud Storage Assurance (CSA) cloud storage and archiving service.

  • Backup and archiving to a customer’s choice of public cloud vendors such as Amazon S3, Atmos Partners, and Iron Mountain; private; or internal clouds
  • Supporting archiving of email servers
  • Can be provisioned either as a stand-alone backup and archiving service for data, as an alternative to traditional premises and off-site backup and archiving; or with Geminaire’s Cloud Recovery service, for the servers being protected

The chart above helps to illustrate the typical downtime associated with different solutions in the market today.  Everyone will be affected by downtime at some point but most will take a while to get it up and going. Geminare is one of the fastest cloud backups out there.  One of the greatest things that they help you out with is the fact that you are in control of your cloud server at all times.

What a great conference last week.  Lew Moorman opened the keynote, Toward an Open Cloud, at OSCON 2010.  He mainly talked the whole time about how Rackspace got started and  has succeeded through the years, taking standard based technologies and making them into great services.  He talked a ton about OpenStack, the new RackspaceCloud open source cloud hosting platform and it’s commitment in 4 opens: open design, open development, open community and open source.

Check out the video:

Chinese Cloud Hosting

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Wouldn’t it be cool if all of China switched over to cloud servers?  I think that would be awesome and help save our World so much.  For now Foshan, near Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong has selected CDC Global Services to build a cloud computing center to service all businesses in the area. Apparently, Foshan is one of the top-10 cities in China, with the highest GDP per capita.

Just so all of you know, this will be a 100% government-funded cloud computing center.  This should change everything.  A 100% Gov funded cloud hosting center could open some doors.  Then again, it could limit a lot of what people are reading.  I know that censorship has been a problem over the years in China.  Well see if Chinese cloud servers will ever happen!
