Industry News Desk Cloud Computing - Salesforce & Google Create Multi-Cloud Platform
Salesforce & Google Create Multi-Cloud Platform
Jun. 24, 2008 04:15 PM
Salesforce.com, which has already linked its CRM software to Google Apps and integrated AdWords tracking into its platform, is deploying a free new Force.com Toolkit for Google Data APIs so third-party developers can interact with data in Google services.
The toolkit is supposed to bring together data and content in Google Apps with the database, logic and workflow capabilities in Salesforce.com’s Force.com development platform.
Salesforce claims the move creates a “multi-cloud computing platform” that will accelerate the creation of newfangled web-based applications.
It’s thinking business applications that extend Salesforce for Google Apps as well as brand new applications that help customers run their business entirely in the cloud.
Salesforce used as examples applications like sales quote generation and business forecasting that can be deployed by customers with just a few clicks via the AppExchange.
And it said that six of the top 10 applications on its AppExchange marketplace are Google-related, pointing to that as evidence of growing customer demand for third-party applications that leverage multi-cloud platforms.
CODA, a European ISV, for instance, has built a web application prototype that takes data from Google Spreadsheets and brings it directly into the Order-to-Cash module of CODA 2go, a financials application built on Force.com.

Virtualization Articles & Feature Stories By Gilad Shainer; Brian Sparks; Tong Liu; Scot Schultz; Eric Lantz  Computational science is the field of study concerned with constructing mathematical models and numerical techniques that represent scientific, social scientific or engineering problems and employing these models on computers, or clusters of computers, to analyze, explore or solve these models. Numerical simulation enables the study of complex phenomena that would be too expensive or dangerous to study by direct experimentation. Feb. 9, 2010 08:45 AM EST | By Maureen O'Gara  Dell confirmed that it’s trying to buy the gone-bust Israeli clustered NAS start-up Exanet after Israel’s Globes news site said Monday that the deal was in the bag.
There is also speculation that Dell might start selling EMC’s recently acquired Data Domain deduplication widgetry, the stuff it snatched away from NetApp last year. Dell has sold EMC’s Clariion arrays for years.
Feb. 9, 2010 04:15 AM EST | By Maureen O'Gara  Dell, which has been promising a little M&A, is buying the gone-bust Israeli-based clustered NAS start-up Exanet according to Israel’s Globes news site.

Entrepreneurial opportunities abound as this classic disruptive technology begins to proliferate, so it is no surprise that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Expo is going from strength to strength. Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 9,688  By Ellen Rubin The talk at the Cloud Computing Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so, who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are being tested? To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle. Since so much has been written and discussed about the cloud in 2009, there is now a growing impatience for actual results. Reads: 5,788  By Bill Roth The most anticipated talk of the day yesterday, at the 4th International Cloud Expo, was by the deputy CIO of the CIA, Jill Singer. Her talk was entitled, "Enterprise Cloud Computing, the Infrastructure’s Final Revenge." She acknowledged the problem with defining Cloud Computing, and then went on to give her paragraph-length definition of “the cloud”. Her talk focused on the part of the Cloud behind the firewall. “Today’s CIO must increase the flexibility of the infrastructure,” said Singer.

Reads: 6,175  By John Savageau Having gone through a couple of decades worth of technology conferences, a familiar cycle occurs. For the first couple years, technology-related conferences are attended by engineers and operations people. Only after the technology has passed a couple of feasibility gates and begun to hit the business cycle do sales and marketing people take over. Cloud is now officially past the engineering phase, well into the sales phase – and the business community is scrambling to understand the implications of a virtualized world. Reads: 4,035  By Carmen Gonzalez The first "Ulitzer New Media Power Panel" took place today at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.

Reads: 5,164  By Fuat Kircaali As of January 2010, we booked more revenue for 2010 than the entire fiscal year 2009 actuals, including unearned income with record sponsorship sales for Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West and Cloud Expo Europe events.
Our revised revenue projections for 2010 is on track for an all time record revenues since our company's inception in 1994, including media sales up in January from a year ago.
As I made a reference to sponsorship and expo sales, I encourage all our sponsors to take contract option 2 which includes Cloud Expo 2010 East (New York City), Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), and Cloud Expo 2010 West (Silicon Valley, California) events.

Today, we have close to a 100% resign rate among our sponsors for the upcoming Cloud Expo, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
