Since a few months I am the proud owner of an iPad. Because of our US subsidiary we were able to buy this beautiful designed little computer before it was officially released in The Netherlands, which made me feel even more proud. The feeling of owning a brand new toy is great. The thought of it makes my heart beat faster already.

In many documents and introductions to cloud computing we have been shown what the Cloud really means and what is possible to do inside it. Things that have been covered have been what systems make up the cloud right up to applications and services running in it.
This blog entry aims to covers another aspect and that is computation in the Cloud.
Will growth kill your business?

As a marketeer I had the opportunity of working for several startup companies in the past. One company, launched in 1999, offered similar services as Ebay and had an European footprint in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain and several Eastern-European countries. When I came in the office on my first working day, the office consisted of 6 desks, 6 computers and that was about it. We did not have a working site and sales collateral was not available. Basically, your typically startup situation; highly motivated employees working on materializing a great idea.

Cloud computing has many different meanings for different people. There is no unanimous policy. In short, it is still foggy in the cloud, because cloud computing is a relative new phenomenon and can be used in many different situations.
Traditional infrastructure; the perception of being in control

“When I move my infrastructure to the cloud I loose control over it”. A remark I often hear when talking to businesses or reading surveys. Before we get into the depth of it let’s first take a moment and discuss ‘control’.
Better service at lower costs with cloud computing

When reading cloud computing surveys I constantly bump into the same arguments why companies hold back from investing in it; evidence of cost savings, assurances regarding reliability, security and potential loss of control. These arguments and concerns reflect earlier concerns when email, the Internet and instant messaging entered the workplace, for example. Read more..

Amazon has recently launched Amazon VPC in Europe; opening doors for customers to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources in the EU via a VPN-connection.

Amazon Cloud expands to Asia Pacific region
Posted April 29, 2010 at 12:39 pm by Justin van Heerde in cloud computing, content delivery network, infrastructure, news. This post has no comments.
Amazon has just opened an AWS Region in Singapore, following the announcement in november 2009. This is great news for Jitscale. We can now serve Asia Pacific-based businesses and global businesses with customers based in Asia.
The availability of a cloud infrastructure in Asia enables us to store and manage platforms in Asia close to end-users in that region. This is a huge improvement to local demands on performance, availability, jurisdictions and cost-effectiveness.
Homogenous infrastructure across the globe
For Asian customers it’s now easy to deploy a homogenous infrastructure across the globe, starting out in Asia and easily duplicating the same environment in Europe or the United States. European and American customers benefit in the same way by being able to deploy their cloud infrastructure efficiently to serve Asian customers without unnecessary latency.
If you want to learn more about our cloud services in Asia, please contact us for more information.

According to a recent internal study done by Google, a fast site not only increases user experience but also reduces operational costs. A slow site, on the other hand, results in visitors spending less time there.
