Cloud Computing

[AtW]

It's commercially too expensive for anyone who has got enough scale, ie doing some real work - a lot of "cloud" stuff can be run on VPS/leased server.

The M$ Azure thingy is on my list of things to look into, but I've never done much about it. From the brief look I had, I think it may be of use to me; I'll have to look more in depth one day.

Eucalyptus ?

Know a bit about it.

Use amazon quite a bit.

I think its pretty much the same as securing a hosting solution that is accessed over the internet, however since its using the 'cloud' buzzword, the client co doesn't necessarily get their own dedicated kit, and may actually be sharing the same switches, servers, firewalls etc as other customers. There I can see you have a new security challenge and hence this new cert.

and to answer your question... No I haven't.. sorry

Deploying a business application and supporting data that used to be hosted in the co. data center to a cloud environment.

Do you mean an application that runs on "the cloud" or a cloud hosting environment?

Personally, no, but you might find some useful info here

I've looked at the VMWare site, very much pushing their own products, unsurprisingly, I was hoping for some real world experiences that might reflect this sort of stuff

Anyone had any hands on experience with deploying cloud solutions?
