03:50 NEWS HEADLINES
Story 1: Amazon EC2′s creators have a new operating system for the cloud called Nebula Director they claim will “redefine operating systems and what they do for us.” They further add: with a cloud OS, Nimbula seeks to addresses one of the major drawbacks to the current state of cloud computing: interoperability. Nebula supports controlled federation to external private and public clouds like EC2 as needed by the customer during peak times or for specific applications.
Will it work? Do you think they can deliver? Is this what we’ve needed for the hybrid cloud?
Story 2: Headlines from GigaOm’s Structure Conference:
-Big buzz: Lew Tucker, Sun Microsystems CTO & VP of Cloud Computing has joined Cisco as CTO of the company’s expanding cloud efforts
-SysAdmins will soon be called Cloud Admins
-Amazon CTO Werner Vogels says the cloud ‘has arrived’. We’ve moved from talk to action
Story 3: When the economy goes down, cloud computing – SaaS in particular – goes up.
Gartner also anticipates a massive cloud computing explosion, fueled mainly by economic turmoil. In a report released this week, Gartner said global cloud computing services revenue will rise from $58.6 billion in 2009 to $68.3 billion this year.
Typically when the economy takes a tumble, tech sales suffer. Why isn’t that the case with cloud?

Story 4: Salesforce.com released its much-hyped corporate social networking platform, Chatter, at its Cloudforce conference
“a Facebook like platform” is corporate America used to the Facebook metaphor
It has Facebook-like social networking features for internal collaboration. Chatter-only license option.
Will customers have to worry about increased costs for data storage? Will Chatter effectively bring in new enterprise users? Why Chatter over existing solutions?
