cloudchat

Ready or not, here it comes.

glad to see CIOs looking at competitive advantage and revenue streams instead of reducing costs!

thx Casey

um, DBaaS?

Here's the Gigaom study, for reference: http://bit.ly/1nVIQP9

"APIs", building services to be exposed & consumed in PaaS runtimes & to build SaaS applications. Those APIs span from basic enablement for dev like caching and persistent storage to solution level capabilities that provide deep insight into data

Werner said it himself http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2012/06/amazon-dynamodb-growth.html

@dvellante calls this the API economy on our@theCUBE at #IBMPulse - Steve Mills was all over this as well

DBaaS is certainly up there. #PaaS would probably get my vote. With a growing market of viable #IaaS offerings, developers will start innovating on the next layer up in the cloud stack, so we’ll see some big growth in the platform space.

#SaaS is probably already bigger, so law of large numbers will make it hard for it to outpace #IaaS... :)

@dvellante Datacenter will be an API

Orchestration is huge

@dvellante "API Economy" is exactly what I was referring to.

multicloud - brokering workloads between different clouds to meet performance, cost, and availability needs as they change - #API-driven, for sure!

In 12-18 months, #PaaS will be backed by $1T of market cap > incumbent IT vendors who are endangered by disrupting outcomes of #IaaS + IaaS vendors #4-#15, as they unite to differentiate #cloudchat

Because businesses will continuously demand even more flexibility and agility, #IaaS providers have to keep innovating and pushing the envelope to deliver high performance resources even faster.

Improves business agility because it empowers the developer to respond in real-time. For evolution, we need infrastructure choices to support evolving workloads like IoT, primarily faster networks and storage with lower latencies to improve TTV.

#IaaS is all about agility - getting compute resources in a more elastic way - to reduce Capex and be faster at adopting / creating new business models.

#IaaS can shorten time to market for new apps, etc.. IT must evolve to be keep up with demand for #IaaS!

abstraction and enabling developers to keep fast iterations and ensuring integrated stack version control in building composite apps

Focus on your core competency, and expect IaaS to provide latest hardware/services better, faster, cheaper than DIY.

Here is a post from me about #cloud and agility. http://enswmu.blogspot.com/2013/04/agility-from-cloud-not-no-brainer.html?q=agility

you should reply under the question for better readabiltiy for after the chat

Time. Pharma, Finance, biotech--many anal industries are already storing data in the cloud. Challenges mostly social, not technical

More transparency! too much of what goes on is a black box. We need to give more control to the end-user, how do they secure their data and control who can access it, when, how, and for how long.

More transparency, education and mixed cloud access. The #Softlayer bare metal approach is helpful here.

a model for governance

Transparency is definitely key.

Security is tough to generalize because it is so provider- and customer-specific. The best way for #IaaS providers to ease security fears is to be forthright and transparent about physical and network security.

Yes @Holgermu has it right.. transparency, industry education & overall sharing of knowledge is key to cloud success!

To experts: Is Security a do over or incremental improvement with IaaS

Like compliance, security is a shared responsibility.

Greater transparency: noted.

@CrowdCaptain Multi-tenency has taken some work, but containers have been in production for some time

@CrowdCaptain only a do-over if app was poorly designed up front, IaaS won't cover for poor app design.

Maybe more Apache 2 OSS running in the cloud, too?

Security needs to be planned upfront, not an afterthought!

Q7: to solve security fears, we need Security as a Service, based on open source tech, and super easy to use, peer-tested to be anti-NSA-grade

multi tenancy certification, adoption of compliance regulation best practice/standard at company level, best DDos network infrastructure,

define OS? I see that definition changing #SDDC #SDN etc

In order for the business to understand and embrace #IaaS you must have a software solution that provides that data. #SDDC gives IT/Business infrastructure data to make better decisiosn

Great question and I think this is a great example of most companies or leaders haven't had to manage infrastructure (Facilities problem) or understand density, power, cooling or IT therefore they need for a secure, reliable #IaaS is a must!

There isn't really a prerequisite ... It's really just a matter of getting in and kicking the tires. You've got to start somewhere.

... ehhem... sooo... a non-programmer would not break a toe kicking those tires?

It's actually a good question. To leverage IaaS you would need to know how to access the APIs from your vendor of choice. Usually you may want to learn a scripting lang like Python or use tools like chef/puppet for automation

Thank you, @DrZeydy .. that is exactly what I needed to know.
