- Druva Brings App-aware Dedupe To The Laptop
By Howard Marks
Given the fact that almost half the computers in corporate America are laptops, and a significant amount of data is created on those portable devices, I am constantly amazed at how frequently organizations leave the data on those laptops essentially unprotected. By taking a unique application aware approach to data deduplication, Druva's Insync may be the best solution to date to this seemingly intractable problem.

- Self-Service IT, For IT, By IT
By Mike Fratto, Editor
I always shake my head when I hear someone say that private cloud computing won't take off because enterprises can't realize the economies of scale that a public cloud provider can. Thing is, the benefits that enterprises get from a private cloud are not the same as a public cloud. I was reminded of this while reading F5's Lori MacVittie succinctly sum up the difference in goals between private cloud and public cloud adopters in Focus of Cloud Implementation Depends on the Implementer: "Private cloud implementers are not trying to be Amazon or Google or Salesforce.com. They're trying to be a more efficient, leaner version of themselves--IT as a Service." While all organizations want to be efficient, the way they measure their success is vastly different from how cloud providers measure success.
