By Jason Stevenson You have heard it said that “rock and roll is dead.”

People, process, organization and governance for the software-defined data center

The same could soon be said about your IT department. External pressures are driving an extinction of the IT department. Today’s business users are becoming more and more savvy, growing up with all kinds of technology in both the home and the office. Desk-side computing is dying off quickly, being left behind by technologies—like tablets, smart phones, and even wearable technology like eyeglasses and wristwatches—that make your employees more mobile and agile. The movement toward mobility and agility naturally drives organizations toward more cloud-based services, and software as a service (SaaS) rather than customized applications.

Today’s business managers need to move at the speed of technology, and often consider the IT department a hindrance more than anything else. 1.

26 Online Backup Services Reviewed (Updated July 2013)

Livedrive Review Livedrive is an online backup service that offers an interesting mix of backup plans, a cost effective way to add computers, and a really nice computer and mobile app interface. Livedrive "Backup" and "Pro Suite" are the two backup plans you can purchase. They both offer unlimited online backup, but the "Backup" plan only supports backing up 1 computer, whereas the "Pro Suite" can backup up to 5 computers. Livedrive "Backup" runs $8.00 /month, and "Pro Suite" is $25 /month.

All Livedrive online backup plans offer significant discounts if you prepay for one year. Another plan offered by Livedrive is called "Briefcase," and is just an online storage plan that offers 2 TB of space - it doesn't back up your files like a regular backup plan. If you purchase the "Pro Suite" plan, you get 5 TB of the "Briefcase" plan included, plus its added features.

Online services. The 10 Laws of Cloudonomics. If your enterprise has access to the same things — virtualization, automation, performance management, ITIL, skilled IT resources, etc. — as cloud service providers, would clouds provide any real and sustainable benefit?

The 10 Laws of Cloudonomics

Public utility cloud services differ from traditional data center environments — and private enterprise clouds — in three fundamental ways. First, they provide true on-demand services, by multiplexing demand from numerous enterprises into a common pool of dynamically allocated resources. Second, large cloud providers operate at a scale much greater than even the largest private enterprises. Third, while enterprise data centers are naturally driven to reduce cost via consolidation and concentration, clouds — whether content, application or infrastructure — benefit from dispersion.

These three key differences in turn enable the sustainable strategic competitive advantage of clouds through what I’ll call the 10 Laws of Cloudonomics.
