Video: Sun Open Cloud Announcement

March 20, 2009 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, or if you’ve been completely distracted by the speculation about an impending acquisition of Sun Microsystems by IBM, you know Sun yesterday announced its Open Cloud Platform. In the 8-minute video below, found on DataCenterKnowledge, Lew Tucker (CTO Cloud Computing & Developer Platforms at Sun) outlines some of the details:

Citrix To Jump On Cloud Wagon, But How?

September 10, 2008 by Kris Buytaert 1 Comment

Tarry is hinting at a “big” announcement that Citrix will make on september 15th. He reveals nothing, apparently having signed an NDA, but hints that the news concerns his topic of focus of lately.

Tarry’s blog recently shifted from pure virtualization news to reports on virtualization and cloud computing. So our bet is that Citrix will be jumping on the “Cloud Wagon”, or should we say “Cloud Hype” somewhere next week. And why shouldn’t they?

(Update: one of our commenters suspects an acquisition of some sorts, and that’s not unlikely.)

Citrix has been in the business of remotely accessing applications and managing such environments since they started out, so it makes perfect sense for them to actually tebrand their whole product line from Citrix to Xen … and then to “XenCloud”.

Oh, and Intel obviously will announce a new chip, called the CloudCore, no more need to buy an octocore CPU, Intel will instead host them for you. 🙂

On the other hand: given next week’s VMWorld event, Citrix and Intel might also be announcing some real news to steal some of VMware’s thunder.

What’s your guess?
