Using Sun for Cloud Computing - Right Now
Cloud Computing is now a word that means many things - like "Web 2.0"
Two major branches in my discussion are USING and PROVIDING cloud computing services.
If you are PROVIDING cloud computing services, Sun has products, technologies, solutions, and services to help design, build, and manage the efficient, scalable web infrastructures. Sun CMT servers, Solaris with ZFS, Dtrace, virtualization
If you are USING cloud computing services, Sun has a few offers now, and more coming.
1. network.com - 55 applications that are hosted on a grid for computational-intensive workloads like life sciences, fluid dynamics, computational mathematics, rendering. None of these apply to the modern use for Web and mobile, but they are cloud services.
2. Solaris on Amazon Web Services - preinstalled with Glassfish; eventually others like Web Stack.
3. zembly.com - for developers to create and share widgets for Facebook, Meebo, OpenSocial, and iPhone. Free web hosting on Sun powered Cloud.
Coming: More web are cloud services on the way. If you'd like to see particular things, let me know.
