[Latest Public Sector Features from www.publicservice.co.uk] The grid to greatness - Public Service: Standards bodies, such as Open Grid Forum, aim to make it easier to bring clouds, grids and supercomputer installations together by defining simple interoperable interfaces. The interoperability groundwork EGEE has undertaken with supercomputing structures (such as Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications, DEISA/PRACE4), volunteer grids (such as Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science, EDGeS5), and cloud systems (such as DigitalRibbon6), and has been driven by the needs of users, such as the fusion and life sciences communities.

[Virtualization.com] CERN Selects Platform Computing for Massive Scientific ...: As a result, CERN’s cloud infrastructure has to provide the capacity necessary to support production and analysis of more than 15 petabytes of data per year, processed by 60,000 CPU cores, allowing scientists to manage workloads themselves as opposed to a centralized IT management department at CERN’s laboratory near Geneva. Because CERN uses Platform’s LSF grid and workload management solution to enable the extensive scalability to analyze its vast research data, the laboratory chose to partner again with Platform to explore how to more effectively utilize their resources in a virtualized cloud environment.

[Independent Information Technology and business analysis from IT-Director.com] The Blue Cloud from IBM | The Norfolk Punt: Nevertheless, Clementi points out that the cloud isn't a universal solution and it won't suit some workloads (the migration costs and risks may be too high for conventional, mission-critical, database transaction processing and ERP workloads, he says). He also points out that, while Enterprise management is happy with Cloud security based on a Virtual LAN, it wants more monitoring and hands-on management of what people are actually doing than Clouds, which often come out of Academic environments, often provide today.

[Watts Up With That?] Shocker - CRU's Jones: GISS is inferior « Watts Up With That?: Add in solar variability, orbital precessing of the Earth around the sun and moon around Earth, our 5000K inner core, cosmic radiation, the -200+K temps of the space around us, and atmospheric exhaust as we hurtle through space at 6 figure speeds, and the utter ridiculousness of the proposition that a 0.008% increase in anthropogenic CO2 over 100 years is creating some significant climate change becomes obvious. All these complex non-linear influences, yet there is some direct straight-line correlation between CO2 and temperature.

[Virtualization.com] Iomega Debuts v.Clone Technology : Virtualization.com: What makes Iomega v.Clone software novel is its ability to keep the virtual image updated with changes made to the user’s primary PC, and to synchronize changes back to the primary PC when the Iomega USB hard drive containing the v.Clone image is reconnected. These capabilities give users the freedom to move between the physical computing environment on their primary PC and a virtual computing environment virtually anywhere they connect their Iomega external hard drive with Iomega v.Clone software.
