Weekly roundup

This is the Cloud Computing announcements that I found most interesting this past week:

• Juniper and IBM partner for Cloud management. Thse Cloud ecosystem continues to grow but now the emphasis is on the networking operational processes. The effort and awareness generated by these giants will continue to accelerate Cloud developments and deployments. However I get a bit nervous when too much attention is centered around private clouds. Few cases will justify the investment in a private Cloud but for most cases I think it beats the purpose. In my mind embracing public Clouds securely will create a more open world.
