Steve Jobs has been an inspiration to many, but some argue that bringing that creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to emerging technology areas far outside of the mobile world can be of great value.

New Season, Same Umbrella
Scott Clark argues that the more similar that we can make cloud infrastructures to the enterprise infrastructures we have today, the more comfortable customers will be with using cloud from a security perspective.
One Step Closer to Clouds for EDA Industry
This week an announcement from EDA giant Synopsys brought the concept of cloud computing for the industry one step closer to reality.
Key Trends on the Horizon for HPC Clouds in 2011
From infrastructure management to evolution in networks, storage paradigms and the compute landscape, Scott Clark puts forth a host of predictions for how cloud computing for HPC will shape up over the course of the new year.

Cloud Control: Outsourcing an HPC Cluster
An outsource management team is the control point for the outsourcing of your infrastructure. Through this group, you maintain control over your infrastructure, and therefore can have full trust in your outsource partner (because you know exactly what you want, and you know how to measure if you are getting it).

Cloud is History: The Sum of Trust
It is critical that there is a healthy cloud ecosystem for vendors and those who use their services, which can only be propelled by trust. The longevity of the cloud computing paradigm as a form of outsourcing critical applications depends on this ecosystem but trust can be easily compromised.
The Cost of HPC in the Cloud
When we start considering cloud, the primary driver seems to be economic (cost), thus we need to make sure we address any cost-related barriers associated with adoption of cloud as well as ensure that our expectations are honest and appropriate.
HPC, the Cloud, and Core Competency
Given that HPC environments are constantly growing, consume large quantities of fairly generic compute resources, and have both peaks and valleys in workload profiles, it would seem that HPC would be the perfect candidate for cloud computing, if only we could get past the barriers to adoption.
