Cloud Signaturing: Signaturing your Data Centers

Dave Graham, a Cloud Computing member at the Google Group has been working on some neat COS (Cloud Optimized Storage) mindmap. Check it out here, he isn't done yet but has spent good amount of time there.

This is my first attempt to start on the Xing Mindmap stuff, I guess it will keep me busy the coming days. So say hello to the rather embroyonic version of " Cloud SIGnature Framework"



The final draft will be posted on the Xmind site

GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners.
