Top 10 Cloud providers 2012

Top 10 Cloud providers 2012 1. Amazon Web Services For the third year in a row,   Amazon Web Services (AWS)   tops our list, and not just by dint of remaining the dominant player in public cloud computing worldwide. Over the past year, AWS has been on a roll shipping a rich variety of new services targeting enterprise IT, a market that has proved hard to penetrate for public cloud providers but promises great returns for those that do. Additionally, in a strategy to drive the market to follow its moves, AWS has   cut prices 19 times   in just the past six years. Although Amazon.com doesnt fully break out its cloud services revenues, AWS would appear to be a $6 billion company based on its performance in 2011. Thats in comparison to Amazon.coms overall revenues of $48 billion for the year -- not bad for a business reputedly created to sell the e-retailers excess compute capacity back in 2002. 2.

Todays the day Microsoft reduces your free OneDrive cloud storage

But if you log into your OneDrive account and find that you still have the full storage quota available, don�t be lulled into a false sense of security. The cuts are actually being spread out between July 13 and July 27. Unless you opted out of the change, you�re out of luck.   If you need more storage...

System centre 2012 cloud

System centre 2012 cloud Hybrid cloud is the term applied to the increasingly common scenario where a business runs some of its services in the public cloud but retains some on premises, although it is also possible to use assets from both to provide a service as well. For some business this is just a transitional step as more and more services are moved to the public cloud, but for many organisations this might be the long term situation as some services can only be run internally. For services/applications running in your own data centre you have a large degree of control over everything that application runs on, and you can tune and tweak that as you see fit. You get slightly less control as you outsource use hosting or run on someone else�s "Infrastructure as a Service" cloud platform. However with "Platform as a Service" like Microsoft Azure there is less to manage; you loose control of the operating system and only have limited ability to set storage, and com...
