Blue Cloud
IBM is jumping onto the bandwagon of cloud computing (Infoworld Article). Amazon has the lead with S3 and EC2 but it is clear that they will soon have lot of competition. When will Google open their computing platform to external programmers?
As expected, the key technologies being used in the initiative are Open Source: Xen for virtualization and Hadoop for parallel workload scheduling.
On another note, Xen seems to be gaining over VMWare - this week Oracle announce Oracle VM also based on Xen.
