Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

RECENT CLOUD COMPUTING QUOTE:

"It is my opinion that most people are not up to speed on Virtualization Security and Compliance Solutions.

If you can prove that the systems in a mixed mode are not communicating, you should be golden. If your QSA does not agree, it might be time to get a new QSA. Jkjkjkjkj, not really but...

Click here to see what we talked about at VMworld. I was misquoted in this article, Computer World and several others. (I NEVER said QSA’s were ten years behind ;-) ) Seriously, I have some good friends that are QSA’s and they will also be tracking this blog to help answer questions. BTW: This got heated at VMworld during our trusted cloud session."
