The return of Computemeghadoot…

From the days when Cloud Computing started climbing up the peak of this Hype cycle published by Gartner in July 2008, interest in Cloud Computing has been growing steadily. As on July 2009, Cloud Computing was on the peak so to speak of the Hype Cycle, see report here.

Computemeghadoot caught the cloud bug, got started on a blog about clouds, technology, resources and current updates in the world of cloud. However it was missing in action until now, April 2010.  During incessant meanderings across the vast expanse of the blue sky filled with Clouds, of all types and shapes, there was lots of interesting work related to re-creating and packaging my system management and load balancing product for the cloud, researching various cloud computing models, Cloud Market Place, trends etc etc.  Now that the product is released, work on the cloud front has stabilized, and Computemeghadoot is back on the blog!

To make up for my absence, here is what I propose to do.  Watch out the next set of blog posts with a directory of sorts – consisting of resources related to Cloud Computing that I found really useful in the course of my work.  Another idea in the works is a free book related to Cloud Computing – for beginners – dedicated to students who wish to understand the nuances of Cloud Computing without having access to all the  ‘paid’ Cloud resources or spend useful time searching for the same on the web.  So far I found that only iCloud provides a ‘free online cloud computing resource – a PC’ to its users with limited storage.  Other services are all pay-per-use model.  Low price yet for a student in a developing country- its not always an option that is available to hone ones’ skills as a student.

Now that I have my feet on the ground and head held up high in the ‘clouds’, let’s get into some serious Cloud Computing. Happy Cloud Catching,  see ya soon.
