Top 25 European Cloud Computing Rising Stars To Watch – Complete List. Over the past couple of months, CloudTweaks offered to its readers corporate profiles of some of the most innovative and fast developing start-ups in Europe. Some companies on the list are already well-known in the cloud computing sectors while others are still developing their services. What distinguishes them is the fact that all the companies are based in Europe, although some of them have offices in North America and Asia, and are involved in developing innovative products that are almost entirely cloud-based. This is not a complete list of all promising European cloud start-ups but a series of profiles of those companies that already set foot on the market and are rapidly growing. Some of them will succeed in their efforts while others might disappear in time but all of them are worth watching in the foreseeable future… The companies are listed in alphabetical order 3 – BlueTeach - BlueTeach is a knowledge sharing community in the Cloud, offering a virtual classroom called Eclass.

Business Intelligence in Cloud (Part 1) Cloud Computing is dramatically changing the way businesses view their IT functions. For Business Intelligence (BI) software providers, this new concept of product delivery poses many interesting challenges and opportunities, as vendors consider their approach to providing their BI solution in the form of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). But to understand those challenges and opportunities, we need to first understand Cloud Computing.

What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing, as defined in Cloud Computing for Dummies (I know what you’re thinking, but it’s a useful definition) is: “A networking solution in which everything – from computing power to computing infrastructure, applications, business processes to personal collaboration – is delivered as a service wherever and whenever you need it.”

The ‘cloud’ refers to the hardware, storage, networks, software or interfaces that are packaged together to offer a desirable facet of computing as a service.

By nature, it has to be. Just look at Gmail -- how many times has Gmail failed?

To be true cloud service providers, telecom carriers need to meet four criteria, according to Winogradoff: The new data centre is not your current one virtualised | CTO Blog | Capgemini | Consulting, Technology, Outsourcing | Share on LinkedIn.

Like any technology in the early stages of adoption, there are competing models, each claiming to be the optimal configuration and each, more than likely, suited to specific kinds of businesses and specific kinds of business needs. Indeed, the number of cloud permutations is nearly as diverse as the number of companies using them.

Still, over time, there are consistent models that begin to emerge. Here’s a look at some of the top cloud computing models in production today: This is, in many ways, the most common type of cloud computing. The internal cloud occurs within a single organization, allowing them to implement virtualization for in-house services. This type of cloud model uses an external service via a cloud provider, and it’s access by the organization via the Internet. The Hybrid cloud model mixes both internal cloud computing and external cloud hosting. SaaS is still out there, and it’s especially common among SMBs.
