nScaled predictions for 2011
1. Organizations will stop throwing big money at big storage The cost per GB of cloud storage will fuel the growing realization that the days of making million $ investments into privately managed, top tier SAN storage are coming to an end.

Cloud computing, becomes ‘computing’.
Lately I have been noticing an accelerating trend (albeit completely anecdotal) of web services starting to imitate one another. The followers start to look like the leaders, or they adopt the best practices proven by the leaders as their own, and these pretty soon become industry standards.

Total costs vs. marginal costs
An important part of most discussions about clouds is an analysis of costs. People are strongly driven to try to reduce the costs of their burdensome infrastructure, particularly when a large part of it is almost never used (the DR provisions), yet is as costly as the primary in some cases. Most technical people we talk to are impressed with nScaled solutions, but that appreciation is viewed differently when they have to present it to their management team and justify the investment, and so the talk inevitably turns to costs.

nScaled Community
Lately some of our customers have been asking us to provide more interactive feedback features. Of course we think this is a great idea. In fact we have under development (and scheduled for release in late July) a comprehensive support area within the Cloud Console.

The importance of testing
One of the things I consistently hear as I talk with clients about Disaster Recovery, is that it’s complicated. This whether the client has invested heavily in DR or not. In many cases people might have made substantial investments in technology and duplicate infrastructure and have some highly skilled people on the team – yet they still have questionable levels of confidence in their systems – and this causes them to loose sleep at night.

Introductions to the team
We have been working hard since our founding in 2008 to deliver secure cloud resources to what we call ‘risk intolerant industries’. These are customers who see compelling benefits in cloud services, but are looking for a something more than – the lowest common denominator in infrastructure – cost. Customers like major law firms, financial institutions, health care and the like. Customers with confidential data that needs protecting. Those that value a commitment to service and a vendor that understands their business problems. We are making good progress too with leading institutions from around the world signing as enterprise clients. Its an exciting time time, and we are just getting started.
