The issues and opportunities surrounding SOA, SaaS, and cloud computing effectively amplify the conversational divide between business and IT, in part because of the newness of the architecture and the technology. Find guidance on linking the technical opportunities presented by these new models to the needs of the organization.
Comparing a major business change to repairing an airplane in mid-flight is a pretty good comparison in terms of complexity, risk, and disruption, and with increased focus on the opportunities related to service-oriented architecture (SOA), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud computing, the comparison can begin to look like a gross understatement. In fact, most organizations today are experiencing the collision of two crucial, but oftentimes competing objectives: As you might expect, if an organization is silo’d and lacks visibility across its various groups, opportunity maximization becomes more complicated. Now back to SOA, SaaS, and cloud computing. Conversations on the Cloud - Insufficent data from Andrew Fryer. One way to get interesting interviews is to put a group of people with differing views in a room and fire up the cameras. So when Zane Adam (general manager for Azure) was over for IPExpo we thought is would be interesting to get him to talk to some of the leading lights in the Vmware community about his vision for the cloud.
The result is on showcase here.. We then got everyones’ reaction to this on film, including a few of my friends form the London Vmware user group like Barry Coombs.. We also wanted to get his vision on how the role of the IT Professionals will change as more companies move some or all of their services to the cloud, so we made this.. You might well be thinking that this all has nothing to do with you, your organisation will never have any cloud services and you can’t seen any future in it for you. So please watch and learn. A gentle introduction to Opalis, Automating the Ordinary - Insufficent data from Andrew Fryer.
I go to many sites and get offered a lot of coffee , however it never turns out he same as there is no standard automated process to make coffee, there are different steps in the process, and of course people are on different versions for milk sugar and coffee. Most of the coffee is drinkable and so I am OK, however when it comes to systems management process need to be run exactly as per the approved process. Some process need to be run again and again and humans aren’t good at doing that and of course are expensive so if it isn’t automated it’s expensive and unreliable. It’s all about automation of process that need to be performed regularly in a business. The trick is to know where the line is between the time taken to design a process for automation against how much time you will get back from not doing the process manually again and again.
As you can see below Opalis can easily automate virtual machine creation in response to a variety of events or requests. How healthy is your BPOS service - Simon May on. IT Professionals love knowing what’s going on with their stuff. Be it that blinking light that shows hard disk activity on your laptop* or knowing that your SQL Server is running perfectly you need to know what’s working and what’s not. With the cloud that becomes ever more important as you outsource the mundane management of your stuff you need to know it’s working. Well now you can with a handy dashboard! Seriously though for BPOS you now can with the Microsoft Online Services Dashboard which gives you not only current service status for every part of BPOS but also historic information (for when the Gail from accounting asks why her mail was slow on September 21st between 10:03am and 1:01pm ) .
The current view is “super-green” as some ‘softies like to say but if you back to September 21 in Europe you’ll see we had a hiccup. I love the honesty of this. PDC10. On Cloud Computing.
