ReliaCloud and enStratus have teamed up to discuss how businesses moving into the cloud can understand the security issues in public cloud computing and how to best configure your cloud environment. Hear from Jason Baker with ReliaCloud and George Reese from enStratus on how you can take advantage of the security features ReliaCloud and enStratus provide.
ReliaCloud Servers are deployed within a robust and resilient virtualization environment and architected to maximize uptime and performance. enStratus operates outside of the ReliaCloud cloud, watching over its operations, and keeping your authentication and encryption credentials safe outside the cloud while encrypting the data inside the cloud both in transit and at rest.
Highlights include:
- Review of cloud computing and ReliaCloud
- Security, reliability and business continuity considerations
- Enforcing your IT policies and compliance in the cloud
- User management issues
- enStratus and ReliaCloud solution
- Evaluating potential applications for the cloud
The webinar will be held on April 7th, 2010 at 12:00pm CST. Registration for the webinar is now open.
For those of you that are new to CloudCamp — CloudCamp is an unconference where attendees can exchange ideas, knowledge and information in a creative and supporting environment, advancing the current state of cloud computing and related technologies.
CloudCamp Minneapolis will be the second CloudCamp for Minnesota. Last year’s event was sold out and brought together local cloud experts along with representatives from many of the national cloud players.
Who should attend? Anyone wishing to further cloud computing or just learn what all the fuss is about!
The general agenda for this year will be:
5:30-6:30 Networking
6:30-7:00 Lightning Talks
7:00-7:30 Lightning Panel
7:30-8:30 Breakout Session #1
8:30-9:30 Breakout Session #2
Registration is now open! You’ll want to act fast as the free event is expected to sell-out soon.
I’m excited to announce that ReliaCloud has been selected to present at MinneDemo. What is MinneDemo? MinneDemo is one of Minnesota’s most popular tech events. A couple hundred technology and design folks will gather to show off new software applications that they’ve created. Each of the ten individuals selected to present with have 7 minutes to show off their stuff. There is only one rule — no PowerPoint allowed!
The MinneDemo event sold out within days. But, there is still room at the MinneDemo Annex for those that were unable to get tickets. And there is one more option, you can stay home and watch the demos live by tuning into Tech.MN at 6:30pm on February 5th.
Thanks to all who attended yesterday’s breakfast seminar with ReliaCloud and enStratus entitled “Security and Reliability in the Cloud”. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive!
Topics covered include:
- Cloud security challenges
- Perceptions and gracefully losing control
- How to address security concerns
- How to retain data control
- ReliaCloud’s Partner Channel
Don’t forget that ReliaCloud still has some time left before our free beta period ends for Cloud Servers. It’s not too late to test-drive for free at https://order.reliacloud.com.
EnStratus is offering a 1:1 discussion with you to review the security and reliability for any applications you are considering moving into the cloud. Please contact George Hadjiyanis if you are interested (George.hadjiyanis@enstratus.com).

P.S. Did you know that 75% of technology decision makers at small and large companies across the U.S. say cloud computing is a priority for their companies in 2010?

For the third year in a row, The Nerdery has issued a call to all web developers to help nonprofit organizations with their websites. For the third year in a row, ReliaCloud has answered that call by providing a year’s worth of free cloud hosting for each of the non-profits so they can focus their funds on what they do best.
Overnight Website Challenge
The “Overnight Website Challenge” is described perfectly by its name — a challenge in which teams of web developers spend 24 hours straight turning non-profit websites into works of art. The clock starts the morning of March 20th and goes straight through until the morning of the 21st when time runs out.
The deadline to apply is January 8th. Nonprofits apply for the Overnight Website Challenge by articulating their interactive needs and vision of how ten web pros could – in 24 hours – help make them work smarter online, further their mission, and better serve their community. Volunteers apply by creating teams of programmers, designers, and project managers to help get the job done.
Be on the lookout for further updates on the Overnight Website Challenge as we come closer to the date. If you have web skills you would like to offer, be sure to register to be part of a team.
