  • Best Bang for your Buck: Private, Public, or Hybrid Cloud?

    Best Bang for your Buck: Private, Public, or Hybrid Cloud?
    Sep 20 2012
    The cloud. Shopping for cloud solutions based solely on price? Look deeper, say the experts. Jeff Anders: “Nearly everyone is under the gun to save money and looking for that ‘silver bullet’ to solve their problem, but even the most skilled hunter can shoot himself in the foot sometimes. Cost is only one factor when trying to decide between public, private and hybrid cloud solutions.” Allan Krans: “It may be time to rethink everything you know about private cloud. Current stereotypes of private cloud as the secure and more costly alternative to public cloud are rapidly eroding as adoption grows…many early adopters are already achieving costs on par or lower compared with public cloud benchmarks...” Xavier De Romagna: If hybrid cloud is here to stay...what are the implications?” Madhuri Chawla: “Cloud computing – is it an evolution or a revolution?” Join us for more insights on Best Bang for your Buck: Private, Public, or Hybrid Cloud?

  • Cool BI: Emerging Trends in the Cloud

    Cool BI: Emerging Trends in the Cloud
    Sep 13 2012
    Business Intelligence (BI). In 1989, Howard Dresser proposed BI to describe “concepts and methods to improve business decision making by using fact-based support systems.” Yes, your company needs BI to survive, but now you have to choose between on-premise BI – inflexible, complex – and cloud or SaaS BI – more agile, affordable, accessible. And if you opt for cloud, is it mature or trustworthy enough yet? The experts debate. Cindi Howson: “Cloud BI promises to make on-premise installations obsolete, much to the fear of traditional IT departments. CIOs love cloud BI; it’s the worker bees that fear it.” Mico Yuk: “When referring to SaaS BI, Gartner says, ‘Cloud offerings will make up just 3 percent of business intelligence (BI) revenue by 2013, as user adoption will lag far behind the expectations of vendors.’” Ilan Frank: “Want to dip your toes into cloud BI? Try prototyping your on-premise BI using a cloud BI solution.”
