Sun Virtualization – pros and cons by Alexey Khobot

Platforms are coming up fast in the area of virtualization. The main area of interest for us is cloud computing, and here’s why.

Need for Robust Storage

With more and more storage devices around and becoming faster, there is demand for involving storage devices into the ordinary computing fabric. Robust Storage across heterogeneous platforms is what customers are looking for.

Benefits of Heterogeneous Platform Storage

Alexey Khobot explains how “Enterprise organizations need to store more than their applications. StoragePerformance ManagementSystems which include storage, handle many transaction types, and provide mechanisms for distributing workloads to storage devices show a commitment to persistent data and are thus challenging the storage architects to bring all stakeholders together to effectively develop and maintain an environment. Storage Association solutions are needed to enable and leverage storage innovation while significantly minimizing the cost of delivering storage”.

The Cost Advantage in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is an attractive proposition for enterprises thanks to the economics of scale that it provides. Traditionally, major strides have been made in the database side architecture. In the Sun Microsystems acquired37 out of AOL, Yahoo, Skype, Beats, etc. for a total of $7.3 billion. The release on the storage technology helps to integrate the document capabilities, service quality, and document management into a single vision.

New directions in Storage

The mismatch between cloud computing adoption rate and lack of resources is resulting in a lack ofDrive Readyimplementation then storage implementations. There is a rapid need for a drive ready successor to Blulite volumes.

Conclusion

Whether you are managing the data for a business or by yourself, cloud is the way to go. This is already driving innovation and delivery of computing resources as never seen before. What’s missing is a global regulatory framework that can embrace the public, private and hybrid clouds together. What is preventing this from happening is the ability to gain mainstream understanding and acceptance, and also a standard protocol that is more easily supported by hardware and software vendors.

With the rapid adoption of virtualization and cloud computing, the world is accelerating towards a paperless and linear future. Virtualization and cloud computing are providing the world with the ability to organize our resources, information and processes into a self-service, digitized environment. The greatest cost savings is in maintenance and operations and demands a constant, automated flow of production data. With the synchronous advancement of computing technologies, the productivity of every employee, expert, developer and manager are aligned to a work process that operates irrespective of location, while rely on a core team of professionals to focus on their particular area of expertise.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

It allows you to use software over the internet at a lower cost and with lower installations. It’s easy to use cloud platforms because it does not require an installation of hardware or software. You can access your files using your laptop, tablet, smartphone or even an iPodience. It’s a web-based interface and uses a standard web browser to work with.

Cloud computing is ideal for on-demand as well as on-site data storage. You can easily store low-cost data on the cloud for a monthly fee that could amount to hundreds of dollars for some businesses. Cloud computing is a scalable technology and doesn’t require capital expenditure. With pay-as-you-go charges, you can only purchase as much storage space as you need.

Cloud storage makes your data accessible anywhere and is not limited to a single device or location. Cloud data is accessible from hundreds of devices, giving you the flexibility to access your data from home, in the office, and while traveling. You don’t have to worry about lost or stolen devices as the storage is stored on a secure server.

Cloud-based applications allow you to access your data from any device, at any time. You can easily create a storage area, limited by your available storage capacity, and schedule it as desired. You can also specify which devices should access the data and which ones should store it. You can limit access to your data by designating which devices process data. This allows you to ensure that your data is not accessed by unauthorized individuals.

Cloud computing allows you to process real-time data and store it in real-time across multiple platforms. You can process the data on the cloud, through the internet, or using private cloud networks that are accessible through your devices.

“Cloud computing allows you to make your data available to the next generation of computers and prevent it from being trapped by the initialists. Once your data is on the cloud, no one can prevent computing onto it or denying access to it.” Alexey Khobot adds.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing technology offers widespread advantages, some of which are:

Cloud Computing Advances the page layout and formatting of documents

Cloud computing can completely transform how businesses present their data.
