Vordel CTO Outlines Strategic Role Brokers Will Play in the Cloud (PODCAST)
Mark O'Neill explains why brokers are going to be the foundation for integrating dynamic sets of cloud computing services in a way that ultimately gives IT organizations maximum control over providers of cloud computing services.
 
Is Cloud Computing Ready for Primetime? A Chat with Vic Morris
Why is cloud computing such a compelling model and which verticals are adopting cloud computing most?
 
Enabling Ecosystems in the Cloud
While there’s general agreement that some level of cloud computing adoption in the enterprise is inevitable, there seems to be a fair amount of devil still in the details.
 
Who Meters the Cloud?
Cloud Computing is, by its very nature, nebulous. Users of Cloud Computing do not "touch" the Cloud, which is housed in data centers and server farms located in far-flung places. Because of this, Cloud Computing can be difficult to explain to a non-IT person.
 
Cloud Computing Brokers: A Resource Guide
Businesses are recognizing the benefits of cloud computing but are often wary of handing over their prized applications to public clouds for fear of insufficient security and lack of direct control, particularly with public clouds. This has spawned a host of cloud brokers to serve as intermediaries between end users and cloud providers.
 
All the Web’s an API
Software development for the cloud often involves coding against Platform as a Service (PaaS) services provided in the cloud. These PaaS services often are provided in tandem with Software as a Service (SaaS) websites, with Salesforce’s Force.com being a well-known example. But how can you leverage these PaaS services without becoming tripped up by security and service management?
 
SaaS: integration in cloud
The advantages of software-as-a-service (SaaS) products are well recognized by now: lower cost of entry, minimal demands on IT and easy upgrades, as well as more rigorous security than can be provided by many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Vordel Announces 'Cloud Service Broker'

Vordel has announced the release of the Vordel Cloud Service Broker, a tool for aggregating and managing services in public, private and community cloud-computing domains.
 
Vordel Offers On-Ramp to the Cloud
Vordel’s Cloud Service Broker enables businesses to aggregate services between public and private clouds, and those of partners. Vordel officials say the product reduces businesses’ concerns around trust and reliability when using cloud services by bringing together services from the multiple domains and enabling companies to monitor and manage them.
 
Vordel adds interoperability to the cloud
XML networking management company Vordel’s new product, the Vordel Gateway Cloud Edition, provides interoperability for cloud computing platforms such as Amazon, Force.com and Google.
 
Cloud interoperability remains wispy, but progress being made
Vordel's XML Gateway is designed to link single applications to multiple cloud services and provide the single-sign on capability mentioned by O'Neill, all without requiring onerous work on the part of developers.
 
Cloud-Computing Interoperability provided by Vordel
Interoperability is particularly important for Cloud Computing since organizations wish to take advantage of the great cost-savings on offer, but without becoming locked-in to a single Cloud Computing vendor.
 
Vordel provides much-needed Interoperability for Cloud Computing
Hailed as an important innovation, the Vordel Gateway Cloud Edition provides secure connectivity to Amazon, Google, Salesforce and others.
 
IBM Adds to its Cloud Repertoire
Blue says its widgetry is based on two years of research and hundreds of client engagements. There's no mention of interoperability with other clouds like Google or Salesforce.com; that will have to be left to third parties like Vordel.

Building on the SOA Blueprint (free registration to read)
Manufacturers are not all cut from the same cloth. They have different priorities in their day-to-day struggles to gain and keep a competitive edge. While these manufacturers face different business issues, they have one thing in common: They are using software that incorporates a services-oriented architecture - otherwise known as SOA - to tackle the challenges before them.
