How to easily keep your cloud files private with Rclone. When cloud storage services first came on the scene, personal data security wasn’t a common feature. Even now, as concern over data privacy has grown, many cloud storage services don’t encrypt the user’s data by default. It’s largely up to the user to take the initiative and enable settings that ensure files are encrypted and private, which can be tedious. Believe it or not, a little command-line program called Rclone simplifies things. It’s available for Linux and other open-source OSes, as well as Windows and OS X. There are several ways to encrypt your data before you send it to the cloud, but if you simply want to back up or sync your data while keeping it private, Rclone has you covered. Alex Campbell Setup To start using Rclone, you have to set up remotes, meaning profiles for cloud destinations. The first step is setting up an unencrypted remote. Once the initial setup is done, it’s time to set up the encrypted remote, again with rclone config.

Whether an IT organization is going with public or private clouds, it's important to understand the nuances of multi-tenant architecture. For public clouds, IT managers need to understand the degree of multi-tenancy supported by whichever vendor they are looking at.
For private clouds, the entire responsibility of designing a multi-tenant architecture rests with the IT managers. Enterprise cloud adoption has gone beyond the levels of intellectual pursuits and casual experimentation. An analysis by IDC shows that $17 billion of the $359 billion of worldwide IT spending for 2009 could be attributed to cloud computing. Two-thirds of Baseline magazine's survey participants plan to expand their use of public clouds. None of that is to say that there aren't nagging issues, including but not limited to how different enterprise workloads match up against different types of clouds and responsible ways to plan and implement the necessary migrations.

We’re looking for: IT Managers/DirectorsIT/Cloud ArchitectsDevelopers/App OwnersVPs of ITCXOs However, we welcome anyone who is in the process of purchasing an IaaS cloud or has used IaaS cloud in the past – whether VMware-based or otherwise (Amazon Web Services, Windows Azure, etc).
So if you’re thinking to yourself, “I have experience. Cloud's worst-case scenario: What to do if your provider goes belly up. Last September customers of storage provider Nirvanix got what could be worst-case scenario news for a cloud user: The company was going out of business and they had to get data out, fast. Customers scrambled to transfer data from Nirvanix’s facilities to other cloud providers or back on to their own premises. “Some folks made it, others didn’t,” says Kent Christensen, a consultant at Datalink, which helped a handful of clients move data out of the now-defunct cloud provider. Nirvanix wasn’t the first, and it likely will not be the last cloud provider to go belly up. Megacloud, a provider of free and paid online storage without warning or explanation suddenly went dark two months after Nirvanix’s bombshell dropped.
Other companies have phased out products they once offered customers for cloud storage: Symantec’s Backup Exec.cloud, for example is no longer being sold by the company. +MORE AT NETWORK WORLD Best of CES 2014 show -- In Pictures | What are cloud users’ top concerns?

Who Uses These Cloud and Virtualization Systems? OpenStack, AWS, Hyper-V and VMware are different services offering cloud computing or virtualization services. Let's take a closer look to see the advantages of each, as well as look at some companies using them.
OpenStack OpenStack provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). It is a fast growing cloud computing project used by small and large companies alike. As an open source project, the software is free. It is organized and maintained by the OpenStack Foundation, and the software operates under the terms of the Apache License. OpenStack is a cloud operating system consisting of several projects. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a suite of services for cloud computing. AWS cannot be hosted in-house. Hyper-V Previously known as Windows Server Virtualization, Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based platform that provides virtualization.
VMware Conclusion. What is Docker? Q: What is Docker? A: Docker is an open-source solution that enables isolation and mobility for Linux applications; however, it's also coming to Windows. Docker's primary purpose is to simplify the deployment of applications that over time have become more and more complex. For those familiar with App-V, the concept of isolating applications from each other through the use of virtual layers will be familiar; this is similar to how Docker works.
The following figure illustrates the difference between traditional virtualization and how Docker containers function. Note that in traditional virtualization, each application runs in its own private virtual machine with its own OS instances, as well as its own libraries and binaries. This gives great isolation but also generates a lot of overhead, a lot of management, and a lot of provisioning time.
It's possible to actually view the change history between the various checkpoints, as well as the differences between them. NIST lays out roadmap for cloud computing -- GCN. NIST lays out roadmap for cloud computing By GCN StaffOct 27, 2014 The National Institute of Standards and Technology released the final version of its Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap Volumes I and II, the culmination of a three-year old effort to assess and set objectives for the accelerated adoption of cloud computing in government.
“Cloud computing is still in an early deployment stage, and standards are crucial to increased adoption,” the report adds. “The urgency is driven by rapid deployment of cloud computing in response to financial incentives.” The first volume, High-Priority Requirements to Further Cloud Computing Adoption, identifies 10 requirements NIST believes are necessary to maintain innovative cloud adoption across government. Volume II, Useful Information for Cloud Adopters, is designed to be a technical reference for those actively working on strategic and tactical cloud computing initiatives. About the Author.
