mdavis10 just commented on Dear Big Data - I would be in Big Data

Dear Big Data - I would be interested in your views on your little brother 'Data' - do you believe that most enterprises really have a good handle on analytics in general? Should they really be considering how to grow their analytics capabilities across the board where Big Data is just one aspect?

palankaravi just commented on I think efficiency is ability in IT Performance

I think efficiency is ability to do the specified function smoothly and reliable is available when it is needed (trustworthy).

Yes we cannot measure opportunity but when we have opportunities we have scope to get new things that lead to (driving force) for adopting new tools/technologies.

Am I going in right direction?

So in the end, security is BOTH a constraint and a value add, no?

In-house IT and cloud: they must co-exist
Thu, 03/07/2013 - 15:32

The other week, I was drawn to an article from Jonathan Eunice on SearchCloudComputing titled “When an in-house IT infrastructure wins out over cloud computing.” I was puzzled so I eagerly started reading and quickly realized there was something odd with the article.

クラウドを正当化する3つの視点 (Japanese)
Tue, 03/05/2013 - 07:17

私は、これまでクラウド・コンピューティングの導入や利用をどう正当化するかについて数え切れないほど質問を受けてきたが、必ずと言って良いほど従来のROI計算の話に行き着く。そして多くの場合、正当化は難しいとの結論に至る。なぜだろうか?それには二つ理由があり、一つ目は、そもそも多くのIT部門は既存環境の実際のコストを完全には把握できていないということであり、もう一つは、実際に削減できたコストの算出が難しいため、あくまでも推測の域を出ていないのではないかという議論となってしまうことである。

少し前に、私は財政的観点からクラウドを正当化する方法について投稿した。ここ数週間で、CloudSourceにクラウドのビジネス価値について連載した。連載ではクラウドを正当化したいなら3つの領域をレビューすべきであると書いた。

证明云价值 (Chinese)
Thu, 02/28/2013 - 09:05

原文作者:美国惠普知名博主 Christian Verstraete

我已记不清这是我第几次谈到该如何证明云实施和云使用的问题了,这个讨论最后往往回到了传统的财务ROI(投资回报率)计算。在很多情况下这变的很难评估。为什么呢?原因有两个,首先很多IT部门对现有环境的实际成本并没有一个完整的视图。第二,实际节省的成本通常很难计算,并且很多情形下都是可以再议的。

前段时间,我写了一篇题为《如何从财务方面证明云》的文章。在过去几周里我在CloudSource上写了一个关于云商业价值的连载。在这个连载中我从以下三方面讨论了该如何证明云的价值。

敏捷性

业务敏捷性是商业快速和高效的响应商业环境变化的能力(来自维基百科)。比如购置一部虚拟机然后按小时部署一个应用,而不是按周计算,这样可以让企业对商业机会有更快速的响应。这个快速响应对您的价值到底是什么呢?您能从财务方面描述这个价值吗?这才是您该问自己的一个最基本的问题。

创新

我们不应该只盯着云来对接那些已有的应用。云拥有巨大的机会来创新,包括业务模式或流程,产品/服务整合,生态系统合作或IT。建立在云的基础上将会为您带来新业务机会和获得市场份额或建立新的客户经验。这些带来新的商业机会,您也许会愿意从财务方面去衡量或描述。

Avoid Vendor Lock-In; 5 rules for a real world
Wed, 02/27/2013 - 03:42

In my last blog post I pointed out you can never actually avoid vendor or technology lock-in. This is particularly applicable to the main orchestration tool you use. You have to choose one orchestrator and will want to stay with that choice for quite some time. So, making the right choice is key.

No vendor lock-in, but aren't you always locked in?
Fri, 02/15/2013 - 19:10

As I mentioned previously, I’m privileged to meet with companies on a regular basis. And I don’t know how often I’ve had a discussion around the subject of vendor lock-in. I clearly understand the fears companies have to hook themselves with a vendor and not be able to take advantage of innovations coming from other sources.

影子IT,无法对其说不 (Chinese)
Wed, 02/13/2013 - 07:51

原文作者:美国惠普知名博主 Christian Verstraete

如果您还没有搞清楚BYOD到底是什么意思,也许是因为您还没有阅读最近的电子刊物。BYOD(携带您自己的设备)这个词语已经是现今很多文章的核心内容了。这是目前IT消费化的化身与代表。您知道这些小玩意用起来都非常简单,为什么IT过去从未有过如此简单的东西呢?这其实是个很棒的问题。这么多年来,简单性尚未在建立或购买应用时成为核心考虑因素。人们考虑最多的往往都是安全,功能的广泛性,消费能力,管理,供应商的经济实力等因素。

所以,当人们重复90年代他们对微软Excel所做的事情时(即绕过IT来得到他们所需的东西),IT所带来的诱惑阻碍了人们的行为。这也许就是为什么您想要看看“影子IT”,因为这也许为您在合规性方面带来了很多的风险。
