AWS has announced an expansion of its services into an Asia-Pacific region in the first half of 2010, enabling businesses to deploy compute and storage resources in close proximity to their end-users in the region.
Sonian will access AWS’s infrastructure services from multiple Availability Zones in Singapore in the first half of 2010, then in other Availability Zones within Asia over the second half of 2010.
Congratulations to Amazon Web Services for finalizing Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS70) Type II Audit, and has obtained a favorable unbiased opinion from its independent auditors.
SAS70 certifies that AWS has had an in-depth audit of its controls, specifically as it relates to operational performance and security to safeguard customer data. All Sonian customers benefit from this attention to security and operating efficiency.
National Kidney Foundation cuts GroupWise storage with cloud storage email archiving. Search Storage reports that NKF is saving money on email storage with the Sonian Archive hosted service.
Hosted archiving does not require any on-premises hardware or software, and enables the IT department to focus on other projects without worrying about email retention and long term storage.
Xcellent! Wade Rousch at Xconomy has extended an invitation to participate in the panel discussion for Xconomy Forum: Cloud^3 — Cloud Computing Goes Exponential
I and Sonian board member John Landry will join other technologists and entrepreneurs to talk about cloud computing’s impact on the IT climate for startups, small and medium-sized businesses, large enterprises, and consumers. Register to attend this event as well as Cloud Camp at the link above.
This week’s Goldman Sachs Report “A Paradigm Shift for IT: The Cloud,” gives us a view into IT decision maker attitudes about cloud computing and where enterprise workloads will be processed in the future.
Over the next three years a majority of compute workloads will migrate from non-cloud on-premises infrastructure to a hybrid public/private cloud ecosystem. Cloud means scale up in real-time to process data and then scale down when the work is done. No wasted compute power sitting idle.
The winners will be the companies that early on figured out how to harness the cloud infrastructure as a service for SaaS delivery and those that provide enabling technologies to help IT buyers get more value for their IT budget dollars. Sonian’s Universal Data Management cloud-powered platform is one such example of putting the cloud to good use today, solving the information governance pain point in a modern, secure, reliable and efficient manner.
