What do you mean by Cloud is not just the "Horseless" Buggy?

IQ Crew

Great info, thanks Richard!

Rank: Cave Painter

@mt-Or companies which would like to use less and less of their cash for Keeping the Lights on,kind of stuff!

Thinkernetter

@Mt-There is a lot of insecurity about putting this stuff with a third party provider.But its the way that makes most sense for companies with limited IT budgets.

Thinkernetter

@Mt-Not to mention cost and efficency issues.

Thinkernetter

@mt fabrications-Increasingly companies are being forced to put data off-site simply to satisfy compliance and redundancy issues.

Thinkernetter

@Mt fabrications-as i have outlined below,there are pros and cons of both approaches.

Thinkernetter

@renaissance-U can provison storage requirements according to ur requirements and needs;rather wasting unneccesary cash on storage which u dont plan to use.

Thinkernetter

@Renaissance-Thats probably the biggest plus of the cloud.

Thinkernetter

@Renaissance-Atleast not accurately enough.

Thinkernetter

@Renaissance-U cant predict how fast/slow Storage requirements will grow in the near future.

Thinkernetter

@Renaissance-Drink tons of water my man!

Thinkernetter

@Django-I wouldnt miss them unless I forced by deadlines.

Thinkernetter

@django-I personally learn so much from these events its amazing.

Thinkernetter

@django-How do u keep missing all the cool events?

Thinkernetter

@tintolou-On the other hand if you are 100% IN-house then you lose not just teh Cost Savings but also Cost Efficencies and finally Robustness that Cloud can provide.

Thinkernetter

@tintolou-And outsourcing it to the cloud leaves them usually hanging High and Dry!!!

Thinkernetter

@tintolou-After all,IT is more often than not expected to be responsible for everything that happens in the IT infrastructure of the company(speaking purely from IT perspective)

Thinkernetter

@tintolou-for have instance,if you use the Cloud,then In-House IT tends to lose control over the IT infrastructure.Which they dont like.

Thinkernetter

@tintolou-Both options have their own pros and cons.

Thinkernetter

@tintolou- Regarding your question here-

"Does that shift require a decision to invest heavily in infrastructure or a decision to move to the cloud?"

It actually a combination of Three things-First understand your existing Infrastructure better,Then understand what you needs are and whether are they being met by existing Infrastructure and then Finally u have to choose whether to go the Cloud way or Invest in In-House Infrastructure.

Thinkernetter

@minkay-its not just the slides but I also recommend u go thru the chat session as well as Lecture Radio;u will learn a lot!

Thinkernetter

@Amina-most vendors in particular need to understand the basic needs of Companies.

Thinkernetter

@Amina-Hardly anybody seems to appreciate this fact.

Thinkernetter

@Amina-this issue is very simple,we have to figure how to do more with less with each and every passing day.

Thinkernetter

@Amina-ANd that is critical-how do enterprises adopt/modify their existing budgets so as to extract maximum from them.

Thinkernetter

@Amina-my opinion is MObile is here to stay,Get used to it.

Thinkernetter

@Amina-U never know if by then if the world will be even close to what it is today.

Thinkernetter

@Amina-Dont u feel 2023 is a little bit too far off???

Thinkernetter

@wlkoerner-These archives are critical to the whole deal.Without them we wouldnt learn half the things we do!!!

Thinkernetter

Yes... thanks for the archive.

Joe, a crazy Ron Paul type-extremist recently added me to Facebook and they added some kind of legal notice about how their data is their own property, and that their freedom of expression on the private Facebook network had more power than the Terms and Conditions of Service of Facebook. I had to laugh.

IQ Crew

What is the future of "Augmented mind"?

Thinkernetter

Of course, registration w/ the U.S. Copyright Office may be desirable, and in most cases necessary for enforcement.  It can also provide other benefits.

Thinkernetter

Interestign cloud development related to public data.  Amazon and some of the other big cloud storage players are seedign their space with public data (the one I know about is genomic data based on NIH work which is required to be public).  Turns out more people will "rent" your compute resources if you give them some free data to pound on. 

Rank: Cave Painter

@Joe - so how do I copyright my copywrite? ;-)

Rank: Cyborg

Nation's laws differ.  In the US, if the work is original, creative (i.e., non-functional -- an alphabetized list of names is not, generally, copyrightable), and in a fixed form (written, typed, recorded, etc.), it's generally copyrighted upon creation.  Registration is not usually necessary.

Thinkernetter

@yettaj: LOL!!!

Thinkernetter

@Joe, I guess my question more was on someone else's statement about recording a hangout and making it a podcast. Who gets to draw that line. More of a "thinker" question than one that probably can get an eays answer

Rank: Cyborg

"Copywrite" means what you do if you write advertisements.  "Copyright" means intellectual property protection for original creative works in a fixed form.

Thinkernetter

@Joe:  Interesting.  I wonder what Google would say?

Thinkernetter

"Virtualization is the first steps in cloud computing", right 

Thinkernetter

@Joe very true. How do you know this stuff? Are you a lawyer or something? :P (JK!)

IQ Crew

@dag: My *guess* (read: not legal advice), not being familiar with the TOS of Google Hangout and not having really analyzed the issue, would be that the participants are creating the work, and as such are the copyright holders (if one exists) and giving Google a license.

Thinkernetter

@Joe, so how do casual/amature content creators protect their property?  Do they have to get it copywrited (is there such a word?)

Rank: Cyborg

@Joe, I think dagamier just means public space.

Thinkernetter

@yettaj, I thought researchers at DARPA invented ARPANET, the precursor to today's Internet.

IQ Crew

@Kim, I can't wait!

IQ Crew

@Joe, maybe not, but it's like trying to keep jaywalking the law the same while supplying the world with twenty five million miles of road without vehicles.

Thinkernetter

@Joe, I thought Al Gore invented the Internet?

Rank: Cyborg

"Public Domain" is an idiomatic legal expression.  It just means that the material was never copyrighted to begin with (such as US Government works, which are never subject to copyright) or the copyright has expired.  The cloud has nothing to do with public domain.

Thinkernetter

@Joe, using that same statement about copyright and the google hangout....where does the copyright like lie? It's a public domain forum so who is the controlling authority. To me, it's like hanging out at a coffee house and using a phone to video someone doing something stupid and putting it on Youtube

Rank: Cyborg

Anyone interested in sharing data is going to love reading my next Analytics Clan blog.

Thinkernetter

Cliffs Notes version: Tim Berners-Lee did not singlehandedly change copyright law when he invented the World Wide Web.

Thinkernetter

Thanks @Joe.  Is there a definition for Public Domain?  Especially on a Public cloud!?

Rank: Cyborg

"Collecting data is only the first step towards wisdom. But sharing data is the first step towards community." - Linux IBM "Prodigy" ad from 2003. How prophetic to today's times!

IQ Crew

99.9...% of the time, Fair Use does not apply.  If you're not an educator using a *small* amount of the material in a classroom (a physical classroom -- not a virtual one) or a journalist quoting the tiniest passage, it's almost certainly not Fair Use.  And even in those instances, it may not be Fair Use.

Withouth virtualization expecting cloud is like expecting rain without cloudy sky
Rank: Cave Painter

@Joe.  HaHa.  Not terribly precise, no empirical evidence, so probably not accurate either.

IQ Crew

Copyright issues, no matter the technology (this is what confuses people, and what allows some people to think that so long as they tell you whose copyright they're violating, they're magically no longer violating copyright), are always the same.  Is it public domain?  If not, who owns it?  If not you, do you have permission to use it in the way you want to use it?  If not, don't use it.  End of story.

Virtualization is the first steps in cloud computing

I don't think that OpenOffice cuts it for some applications. If you want free Microsoft tools just use their free "Starter" apps that may come with your OS. I use the unlimited Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft Word 2010 Starter and it has non-intrusive ads on the side.

Thinkernetter

@Joe, I love Google Docs for my business but then I started using Google Drive and the whole thing is one giant unorganized mess of business files and personal ones. Time for some cloud house-keeping and organizing. And probably encrypting while I'm at it. :P

IQ Crew

@Mary Jander:  Sorry if I missed.  That is a loaded question.  Having met with many of the major cloud players I can say that their security practices are top of the line compared to most enterprises.  For me, many people still assume direct ownership/control of the physical asset is inheriently more secure.  Its like we all know air travle is way safer than car travel, but most of us feel safer in the car if we are driving ourselves (passengers may feel otherwise of course)

Rank: Cave Painter

Joe, I've used and loved OpenOffice for years.  Try again.  

Doesn't mean I don't have a couple computers with the full MS suite.   But OpenOffice does 90% of what I need to do.

@lin, what kind of malicious code can be executed on BlackBerry devices versus Android and Apple is the question I am quite curious about...

IQ Crew

@efree: Right, Google Doc is a great alternative to MS Office 

Thinkernetter

Perhaps a BYOD course for those companies would suffice.  (i.e., to aid the non-techies, keeping them from making stupid decisions)

Thinkernetter

@aum007, Huawei runs the network infrastructure for a lot of mobile towers across the US and Canada.  They were accused of theft by the US government. Scary given that all of our texts, videos and calls are over towers. Telus, Bell, Verizon are a few of Huawei's clients.

Private cloud is better for healthcare IT anyway than public cloud, even compliance requirements aside, because of the vast amount of data those organizations deal with.

Thinkernetter

@yettja:  Video conferencing (now more personal video chat) has a big impact on bandwitdh but not so much on cloud storage.  The real giant here is video survillence.  A standard military drone today generates 6 Petabytes fo video a day.  There aren't a 100,000 soldiers watchign that.  its being mined continuously again and again.

Rank: Cave Painter

So in those cases, you have a security breach without even knowing you have a security breach -- something that perhaps could have been mitigated by a good, well implemented BYOD policy.

Thinkernetter

@Susan, it's back up. A minor hiccup. We use Google Docs.

IQ Crew

@SF: I've never experienced that 

Thinkernetter

@lin: Conversely, the problem with not having BYOD is the companies who BYOD anyway and then wind up having their device -- with proprietary company data -- compromised.  In those cases, employees are often disincentivized to self-report.

Thinkernetter

@Rich: Who is the best cloud solutions porvider?

Thinkernetter

@Nathan, yes, sometimes Gmail is down.

Compliance requirements in healthcare give rise to concern of security of "private clouds".

@hounhosp: Storage is one of the most interestign and demanding part of the new world.  We've all been building storage for strucutured data (and now reacting to virtualkized environments), but the world and cloud has been busy worrying about how to store Petabytes and even Exabytes of data.  The storage world is only going to get more diverse with systems optimized for cloud, content streaming, archive, and big data.  Lots of work for IBM and its competitors to do.  keep an eye on the cloud players themselves.  new arcchitecutres for object storage are already shaing up parts of the HDD industry.

@Larry G are you having trouble with getting things tested?

Thinkernetter

I think companies would pay for a service.. like NORTON... to validate APPs ....and then IT Teams wouldn't need to do the testing.

Thanks for the great questions so far. Keep them coming.

@nathan-the app stores u mention are not 100% foolproof.Companies have to do their own tests before letting an app lose on their networks.

Thinkernetter

I believe tbat BOYD  is inevitable 

Thinkernetter

@aum007, yes the social network + desktop issues are problematic. I see social networking attacks on the rise.

IQ Crew

I was thinking an independent group.. so IT teams can know they have passed testing...just a thought

Rank: Cave Painter

@aum007, perhaps I'm giving too much credit to the OS providers given that mobile isn't as huge a target, but I do see that these providers are restricting access to the deep OS for tinkering.

IQ Crew

@nathan-I had another issue its more to do with the fact that a lot of malware for Desktops come from Social networks.So potentially u have to work how to lock that down too.

Thinkernetter

(...declining to say which Rick...)

Thinkernetter

@Larry, don't Apple and Google already do that to some degree? I don't see malware or hacker apps getting out except on jailbroken devices.

IQ Crew

@Richard: What do you think about the current data storage solutions available. Are you satisfied with them or there is still room for improvement 

Thinkernetter

Incidentally, I found a great presentation that Rick has here.

Thinkernetter

@Rick, who are some of the major players/vendors in the cloud IT space?

Rank: Cyborg

@nathan-r u sure that mobile OSes are hardened?or mayb is it bcoz penetration is less that its taking time for malware to enter the scene?

Thinkernetter

@aum007, but the apps go through certain screening processes and any malware code is quickly picked up. Any that get through surely get caught by complaints or by automated scripts by Apple, Google etc., and stopped before they spread.

IQ Crew

If you all want to start posting your questions while we wait for Rick to join the board, please feel free. 

IQ Crew

@HH: yes, true. And the cloud is always a great topic.

Thinkernetter

Hi Rick! Thanks for a great presentation. Do you think private clouds are more secure than public clouds, really?

Thinkernetter

I think we need an APP testing clearinghouse.. that validates apps... like the old UL LAB.

Rank: Cave Painter

@gigabob635, I think the mobile OS providers have gotten this right in that the mobile devices are very much hardened and more locked down than conventional operating systems. Since these are network based, OS providers like Apple and Google can address these from a central point. Whereas with desktops and laptops, this isn't really a possibility.

IQ Crew

Pretty familiar topic, but great refreshing!

Thinkernetter

After all,its not like Apple and Google are the ones who are providing all the apps here themselves.

Thinkernetter

What I would prefer if there were three-four App providers who can provide Apps as a Service which are Code Signed and Verified to be malware free. What are the chances of such an idea happening?

Mobile access is huge. Look at how iCloud has allowed us to back our data up quickly. Lose your phone, and your data is still around.

That's true.  BYOD helps the corporate bottom line.  Or at least it should in theory.  What's the informaton security cost, though?

Not a matter of choice. True

Thinkernetter

The public cloud is not as secure as the private cloud or in-house solutions.  That's why we call it "public."

Thinkernetter

thanks!

Rank: Cave Painter

Thanks, very informative and good show!

Rank: Cave Painter

And of course, mobile devices REQUIRE the cloud more than even notebook PCs.

Rank: Cave Painter

@nathan: Absolutely agreed.  Same with other compliance-heavy sectors, such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals.

Thinkernetter

That was a good strating point

Thinkernetter

Great job!

Rank: Cave Painter

Sometimes, the cloud is only as secure as the mobile devices accessing it, and when you're in the cloud, mobile security is only as effective as your cloud security.

Thinkernetter

Context does matters. 

Thinkernetter

@Joe, I believe that our sponsor, IBM PureSystems, offers a good solution for "in-house", fully scalable, and more secure cloud systems for governments. Built for enterprise and government. Public cloud services simply don't cut it for compliance.

IQ Crew

Of course, there are companies that will gladly outsource every last function (outside of cushy C-suite jobs) to the lowest foreign bidders.  That doesn't speak well, of course, to their commitment to service.

Thinkernetter

As we wrap up, please get your questions ready for Rick who will join us here on the message board in a few minutes.

IQ Crew

@Nathan: Precisely why many government entities here have not gone to the cloud -- because of providers unwillingness to capitulate to their concerns.

@Joe, what are your thoughts on some cloud companies using their replications and hosting company data offshore? It was baffling to me from a jurisdictional standpoint.

Current Slide: The Four V's of Big Data

IQ Crew

Concerns; if we are moving towards a public-based cloud solution and we are storing on one-cloud based system, we need to look into multiple cloud replications in the event of DDoS attacks towards cloud services. Or general downtime. Since cloud services do not promise 100% network uptime like most SLA-covered dedicated services at most datacenters.
