A survey from Rackspace Hosting suggests that the hybrid cloud future is so bright it has to wear shades. The survey of US and UK enterprises finds that the limitations of one-size-fits-all solutions like large public clouds are becoming more apparent, and these limitations are driving organizations to hybrid cloud: public, private cloud and dedicated servers working together in any combination. 

The survey illustrates growing recognition of the value proposition of hybrid cloud. In sponsoring the research, Rackspace is building upon its efforts to define itself as a major player in hybrid infrastructure, rather than just public clouds. This is a potential differentiator for Rackspace (RAX), which for years has managed physical servers for customers, a service not offered by public cloud rivals like Amazon and Google. 

The survey results show that the majority (60 per cent) of IT decision-makers see hybrid cloud as the culmination of their cloud journey,reliable and MileWeb linux dedicated server hosting solutions. rather than a stepping stone to using the public cloud alone for all their cloud needs. 60 per cent of respondents have moved or are considering moving certain applications or workloads either partially (41 per cent) or completely (19 per cent) off the public cloud because of its limitations or the potential benefits of other platforms, such as the hybrid cloud. 

“Hybrid cloud is a better model in the long term,” said Rackspace CTO John Engates. “I think it’s the end state. A lot of people start on the public cloud but reach a point where they find they can have better efficiencies with hybrid.” 

The top reasons respondents gave for why their organization is using hybrid cloud instead of a public cloud only approach for certain applications or workloads are better security (52 per cent), more control (42 per cent), and better performance or reliability (37 per cent). 

According to Engates, companies typically begin with a public cloud, a private cloud or dedicated servers but then come to realize they need the benefits of the multiple cloud hybrid environment. He notes the survey findings mirror what Rackspace is seeing among its’ own enterprise customers. 

Engates gives the example of marketing software providers HubSpot, a company that moved from pure Amazon public cloud to a Rackspace setup, and achieved a 4x performance boost. The company uses tools like Hadoop, which works better on dedicated hardware, while other workloads belong in the cloud. 

“The findings of our study indicate that the hybrid cloud is the next cloud for many organizations,” said Engates. “They may have started with a public cloud-only architecture, but have come to realize the limitations of this approach as they’ve continued on their cloud journey. They turn to the hybrid cloud because it can combine the best of public cloud, private cloud and dedicated servers, delivering a common architecture that can be tailored to create the best fit for their specific needs. For example, instead of trying to run a big database in the public cloud on its own, which can be very problematic, businesses can leverage the hybrid cloud to run that database much more efficiently on a dedicated server that can burst into the public cloud when needed.” 

There’s no exact figure as to when this turning point is reached, but roughly $25,000 in spend a month is one rough benchmark the company is seeing at the point of customer transition.

Security problems for Android are piling up, with an additional two vulnerabilities discovered in the mobile operating system over the last 24 hours, including one that was said to have been exploited in a $5,700 Bitcoin heist, and a second that allows cybercriminals to control malware on infected devices via the Google Cloud Messaging service. 

In the first instance, Google’s Android security team has already put out a fix for the mobile operating system’s Java-derived pseudorandom number generator, or PRNG, after some Bitcoin users reported small amounts of money being stolen. The bug in PRNG meant that Android would occasionally issue the same random number twice, which meant that hackers were able to ‘guess’ the private keys of some Bitcoin wallets stored on Android phones and tablets. In those wallets that were compromised, hackers were able to steal small amounts of money totalling some $5,700. 

The problem is thought to have affected hundreds of thousands of applications, according to security firm Symantec. Even so, the affect the bug had on Bitcoin wallets is fairly unusual, because details of these app’s transactions are published in the public domain, which makes it easier for cybercriminals to work out their private keys. Symantec said that the PRNG’s failure to properly generate random numbers made the wallets less secure, although the risk to users was still low. 

Android might have fixed the PRNG flaw, but a second, potentially even more worrying vulnerability has been discovered with its Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service that allowed developers to send and receive messages from apps installed on devices. Google Cloud Messaging works by allowing developers to send upto 4KB of structured data from their own server, through Google’s GCM servers, to user installations of their apps. These messages can be sent to devices even if the app has been disabled, as Android will automatically wake them up when it receives a message. 

GCM messages are typically used to send text ads, links and commands to the apps, said Kaspersky Lab’s researcher Roman Unuchek in a blog post on Wednesday. 

Unfortunately, these same messages can also be used as the primarmy or secondary channel to control and direct malicious apps installed on Android devices, said Kaspersky.Get the best of your MileWeb cheap dedicated server. 

To date, Kaspersky says that it’s uncovered more than 4.8 million FakeInsta.a installers on Android devices, and has succesfully blocked more than 160,000 attempts to install the Trojan onto people’s devices. Even so, researchers have detected the Trojan on devices in more than 130 countries, with the majority of them being found in Russia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. 

The problem with GCM is that neither the users or mobile antivirus programs are capable of stopping these malicious messages once the app has been installed onto the device, because the OS itself is receiving them. The only way to prevent them being sent is by blocking developer IDs that are being used to register malicious apps with GCM, which is of course something that the average user isn’t capable of doing.

Cloud computing is the latest stage in the Internet’s evolution. As a scalable and virtualised form of web hosting, the Cloud offers a range of benefits over conventional hosting. The ‘Cloud’ itself is a pool of resources – the hardware, networks and storage that combine together to deliver the end user with a service that they require. 

As a method of outsourcing IT systems, Cloud computing enables users to access services over the Internet whenever, and wherever they need it. Essentially Cloud computing means that instead of your IT system being the equipment and software that you buy and own, it becomes a service that you pay for monthly and access via the Internet. 

Cloud computing has revolutionized and streamlined thousands of businesses. Users place the running and maintenance of their servers in the hands of the service provider, therefore businesses no longer need to maintain IT systems in-house. 

Cost-effectiveness is an overriding benefit of the Cloud, with users paying on a subscription basis to their service provider. This also means that businesses will have access to the latest and most up-to-date equipment and technology, as opposed to financing upgrades to hardware and software themselves.Our customized dedicated MileWeb windows dedicated server allow a tailor-made solution. 

The Cloud also offers a great deal of flexibility and adaptability; it grows with your business. RAM and memory can be upgraded instantly with the Cloud, meaning that users can scale up their server capabilities as and when they require. 

The Cloud beats dedicated servers in performance as it uses fast virtual servers with optimum responsiveness, meaning that no costly downtime will occur. Additionally, with virtualisation software such as market leader VMware, users are guaranteed unbeatable performance and reliability, which can be a major pitfall of running your own hardware in-house. 

The Cloud’s versatility is most useful for businesses in its ease of access, particularly with data sharing. Documents and files can be stored in the Cloud and accessed via an Internet connection, which is ideal solution for businesses. Also in terms of data backup, the Cloud provides peace of mind with securing valuable data.

Dell is the new Wang. That's right, Wang Laboratories. Remember them? Wang was on top of the computing world in the late 20th century before a couple of guys named Bill (Gates) and Steve (Jobs) and their engineering whiz-kid pals, such as Apple's Steve Wozniak, began to rock Wang's world.

An internet milestone has just been reached: Pirate Bay has passed its 10th anniversary. The iconic/notorious site celebrated with a party just outside Stockholm. Who knows, perhaps entertainment bosses were simultaneously weeping into their champagne and plotting new action against their favourite enemy. The filesharing hub is arguably the most famous of all sites providing access to torrent files and magnet links to allow peer-to-peer sharing. If that means nothing to you, it's like being able to swap those tapes you made of Radio 1 chart shows with anyone in the world.
