Book excerpt: Seize the Cloud: A Manager's Guide to Success with Cloud Computing Cloud is here and ready to be used. It is now one of the many concepts available to organize IT, and it is here to stay. The conversation about cloud computing has turned away from pure technology, and now it focuses on the business side, the economics and the governance aspects. There are still some challenging questions around cloud, but nothing that dismisses the concept as a whole. For example, the question is no longer 'is cloud secure' but more 'can I use this specific cloud solution for my specific situation.' And as soon as we become specific, the mist of the cloud evaporates: it becomes very clear that good concepts, services and solutions are within arms' reach for everyone. Seize the Cloud will serve as your guide through the business and enterprise architecture aspects of cloud computing. In nine chapters, and in a down-to-earth way, cloud is woven into the reality of running an organization, managing IT and creating value with technology. Along the way, the concept of business technology is introduced as a new kind of interaction between business and IT. Also, a new look at the economics of IT is described. The book strikes a positive note without turning evangelical or overly optimistic: it does not shy away from the barriers that could stand in the way of adoption. To provide a firm dose of reality, the book explores eleven cases in which leading organizations share insights gained from their experiences with cloud. The authors and contributors Seize the Cloud was written by Erik van Ommeren (Sogeti USA) and Martin van den Berg (Sogeti Netherlands) and several contributors from the sponsoring organizations IBM and Sogeti. The authors and contributors have a proven track record on the topic and several have written prior books on cloud computing, enterprise architecture, SOA, infrastructure architecture, quality assurance or business process analysis and design. IBM and Sogeti have a strong business partnership and work together in serving clients using many innovative technologies, among which cloud computing plays an important role.

Book Synopsis The Theory of Clouds by : Stéphane Audeguy
Download or read book The Theory of Clouds written by Stéphane Audeguy. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel tells the story of Akira Kumo, a retired couturier living in Paris, owner of the world's largest collection of books about clouds, and Virginie Latour, whom Kumo hires to help catalogue his library. While they work he tells her the story behind three figures in particular, all British, all obsessed by clouds: Luke Howard, a real-life Quaker who in 1802 wrote the first treatise classifying clouds (we still use it today); a painter named Carmichael, clearly based on John Constable, one of the most famous cloud painters of all time, and a fictional amateur meteorologist named Richard Abercrombie, who aspires to write the definitive book on cloud description, which would come to be known in cloud circles as the Abercrombie Protocol. Kumo sends Virginie Latour to London to buy the Protocol. By the end of the novel, we learn the Protocol's great secret; we understand what binds these men together; and and we learn that Kumo himself is a survivor of the Hiroshima blast, in whose cloud his family vanished.
