Private Clouds Better for Security, Red Hat CEO Says
,----[ Quote ]
| A private cloud could offer almost all the benefits of a public cloud, but
| without the attendant security and privacy headaches, said Jim Whitehurst,
| president and chief executive officer of enterprise open source software
| vendor Red Hat.
|
| Moreover, if a company is running more than 1,000 servers, it could save
| money and become more flexible with its processor resources by building an
| internal cloud computing infrastructure.

Unlocking the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source software has won the argument. Now a new threat to openness looms
|
| [...]
|
| But now there is the danger of a new form of lock-in. “Cloud computing”—the
| delivery of computer services from vast warehouses of shared machines—enables
| companies and individuals to cut costs by handing over the running of their
| e-mail, customer databases or accounting software to someone else, and then
| accessing it over the internet. There are many advantages to this approach
| for both customers (lower cost, less complexity) and service providers
| (economies of scale). But customers risk losing control once again, in
| particular over their data, as they migrate into the cloud. Moving from one
| service provider to another could be even more difficult than switching
| between software packages in the old days. For a foretaste of this problem,
| try moving your MySpace profile to Facebook without manually retyping
| everything.
