Some OpenSocial apps can be written entirely with client-side JavaScript and HTML, leveraging the container to serve the page and store application data. In this case, the app can scale effortlessly because the only request hitting your server is for the gadget specification which is typically cached by the container anyway. However, there are lots of reasons to consider using your own server: * Allows you to write code in the programing language of your choice. * Puts you in control of how much application data you can store. * Lets you combine data from users on multiple social networks. * Enables interaction with the OpenSocial REST API. Setting up an OpenSocial app that uses a third party server is fairly simple. There are a few gotchas and caveats, but the real issues come up when your app becomes successful - serving millions of users and sending thousands of requests per second. Apps can grow especially fast on social networks, so before you launch your next social app, you should think about how to scale up quickly if your app takes off. Unfortunately, scaling is a complex problem that's hard to solve quickly and expensive to implement. Luckily, there are several companies that provide cloud computing resources-places you can store data or run processes on virtual machines. These computing solutions manage huge infrastructures so you can focus on your applications and let the "cloud" handle all the requests and data at scale. This tutorial focuses on a simple photo-sharing app that uses a third-party server to host photos and associated metadata. If this app is going to host millions of images and support many requests per second, we won't be able to run it on a single dedicated host. We'll break the app down and analyze the interactions between the OpenSocial App and the back end server. Then we'll implement the app in the cloud, first using Google App Engine, then leveraging Amazon's S3 data storage service. Finally, we'll look at s

What about privacy in an era of cloud computing? If I store my data in a cloud, is the data in a "closed container" and therefore private under the 4th Amendment? Or is putting data in a cloud analogous to giving the numbers I dial on my phone to the phone company?

Have you signed up to try Google App Engine for Java yet? We were so overwhelmed with the response to our early look at Java support on App Engine that we decided to let more developers in now, without waiting. Thus, we're expanding the early look signups to 25,000 developers, in order to give more of you a chance to try it out. So please sign up, give it a try, and let us know what you think. We've already seen a number of interesting apps built and deployed. Stay tuned for us to point some of the cooler ones out in the coming weeks.

Limelight Content Storage is a tool that is employed to speed the delivery of your rich content to the end user and hosts it in the Cloud. Customers today are drawn to media rich websites but these same customers also have very high expectations of websites and do not have the patience to wait for slow video buffering or error messages. With so much business competition out there you need to ensure that your delivery is not detracting clients. If you use Limelight Content Storage your data will have a shorter distance to travel to reach your potential customer.

"aaS Providers Shifting to Commercial VMs. IaaS (infrastructure as a service) providers have focused on open source and internal technologies to deliver solutions at the lowest possible cost. But that's changing. In the past year, there's been a rapidly growing trend for IaaS providers to add support for major commercial VM formats - especially VMware, but also Hyper-V and XenServer. The reason? To create an easy on-ramp for enterprises. As enterprises virtualize (and in many cases, build private clouds), the IaaS providers know that they need to make interoperability, hybrid, overdrafting, migration as easy as possible. The question is whether that will require commercial offerings (such as VMware's vCloud Datacenter Services, or Microsoft Dynamic Datacenter Alliance), or if conversion tools will be good enough. I tend to think that service providers better make the off-premises experience as identical to the on-premises experience as possible - and I'm not sure conversion will get them there."

We are working to make it even easier for you to build sophisticated, scalable, and robust web applications using AWS. As soon as you launch some EC2 instances, you want visibility into resource utilization and overall performance. You want your application to be able to scale on demand based on traffic and system load. You want to spread the incoming traffic across multiple web servers for high availability and better performance. You want to focus on building an application that takes advantage of the powerful infrastructure available in the cloud, while avoiding system administration and operational burdens ("The Muck," as Jeff Bezos once called it).

The #Cloud is increasingly becoming an emerging trend for the way processes are carried out at all levels of IT. The emergence of Cloud has encouraged rapid growth and scalibility. Cloud has changed the way these products are marketed. The Cloud has allowed CIO's to utilize technology to add a greater value to the businesses they are working for. This #WhitePaper helps you startegize on how to align your organizational needs to adopt the proper cloud methadologies. Vist http://fastbluenetworks.com/ and download it for free.

What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is the access to computers and their functionality via the Internet or a local area network. Users of a cloud request this access from a set of web services that manage a pool of computing resources (i.e., machines, network, storage, operating systems, application development environments, application programs). When granted, a fraction of the resources in the pool is dedicated to the requesting user until he or she releases them. It is called "cloud computing" because the user cannot actually see or specify the physical location and organization of the equipment hosting the resources they are ultimately allowed to use. That is, the resources are drawn from a "cloud" of resources when they are granted to a user and returned to the cloud when they are released. A "cloud" is a set of machines and web services that implement cloud computing.

"This post is my attempt to disentangle and examine the topic of "Internet platform" in detail. I will go at it by identifying three distinct approaches to providing an Internet platform, and project forward on where I think each of the three approaches will go. At best, I might be able to help make a new landscape clear. At worst, hopefully I can at least provide one framework for future discussion."

The emergence of the networked information economy is unleashing two powerful forces. On one hand, easy access to high-speed networks is empowering individuals. People can now discover and consume information resources and services globally from their homes. Further, new social computing approaches are inviting people to share in the creation and edification of information on the Internet. Empowerment of the individual-or consumerization-is reducing the individual's reliance on traditional brick-and-mortar institutions in favor of new and emerging virtual ones. Second, ubiquitous access to high-speed networks along with network standards, open standards and content, and techniques for virtualizing hardware, software, and services is making it possible to leverage scale economies in unprecedented ways. What appears to be emerging is industrial-scale computing-a standardized infrastructure for delivering computing power, network bandwidth, data storage and protection, and services. Consumerization and industrialization beg the question "Is this the end of the middle?"; that is, what will be the role of "enterprise" IT in the future? Indeed, the bigger question is what will become of all of our intermediating institutions? This volume examines the impact of IT on higher education and on the IT organization in higher education.
