Five Benefits Of Cloud Computing

Here is another great video explaining cloud computing. Lots of people are still confused with all the terminology thrown around, so I thought that with Dreamforce and VMWorld 2011 this week, it was a good time to help explain the cloud in simple terms. Both of these conferences bring together luminaries, dignitaries and companys (couldn’t think of another aries word) from all over the tech world. I bet if you ask 10 people for...

This summer has seen a great number of data breaches all over the world. Some of these are high profile, like Epson Korea and the rash of Sony hacks. Some are small, like an incident in Louisiana where copies of confidential documents were found on a city street. And some just make you shake your head, like the play book of the Green Bay Packers being scattered all over the street. 46 states in...

One of the problems of all of our newfangled portable devices is that they are very easy to misplace or steal. How many times have you accidentally left your phone or laptop somewhere? It’s even worse with iPads and Android tablets. Just last week I heard over an airport PA that someone left a laptop at the TSA security area. These things are so small and light we forget about them if we’re not...

Everyone from my kids to my mother and business partners is embracing cloud computing. Small and medium businesses are going at it like gangbusters. Large companies are moving slowly, but just about everyone is looking to move some of their operations into the cloud. My business runs almost exclusively in the cloud. It’s true that we have desktops, laptops, smart phones and tablets, but all our important information lives in the cloud. I use...

I love this video explaining cloud computing; it uses a picture of a dog. So many people are confused and who can blame them with all the hype out there. Some companies say that everything on the Internet is cloud computing. At it’s basic level, cloud computing is any computing capability offered on-demand over the Internet. It can be a photo-sharing site or your AP system. Rather than building it yourself, you only pay...

In the last few years, major copyright holders in the United States, specifically the recording (RIAA) and the movie (MPAA) industries, have been wringing their hands trying to prevent piracy and copyright infringement. Peer-to-peer file sharing sites are accused as the causes of all the troubles in this game. After successfully shutting down Napster many years ago, the industries thought they won, but other sites, like LimeWire and BitTorrent cropped up in its place. ...

Google+ (or G+) is all the rage as the shiny new object on the block. It is clearly a shot across the bow of Facebook and possibly Twitter; they have nearly reached 10 million users. Google says this is where interactions are going and clearly they have made some major strides in the right direction. I’ve always being a little wary of the new shiny object, but I feel it’s important to see what’s...

The last few months have seen a rash of data breaches at large and small companies. Sony, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Sega are just a few of the ones that made big headlines. These breaches affected millions of people. No matter the company, if you are a customer, the consequences could be devastating. If you are or were a customer of a company that suffers a data breach, your personally identifiable information (PII) may...

Yesterday the United States celebrated Independence Day, which marks the day that the 13 original colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. Many of the complaints were that the colonists were not treated fairly and their rights as English subjects were being undermined. Back in 1776 mass communication was a slow process. News took awhile to get from town to town. Private correspondence took days or weeks to move across a state or country. ...

The impact of cloud computing is a profound change in how we live our lives and conduct business. Whether in an office or on the road, accessing information on demand is no longer a luxury. It’s a necessity. It doesn’t matter if I’m purchasing a book on Amazon or trying to find the latest sales data from my CRM system. If I can’t access information when I want it and in a format I...
