Dell Cloud Client Computing today announced the release of version 6 of Dell Wyse WSM desktop and application virtualization software. This new release adds server streaming capability to help organizations harness the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing, while simplifying management and deployment processes and helping to reduce costs. By adding on-demand delivery of server OS images to Dell’s reliable and secure end-user computing portfolio, Dell Wyse WSM 6 offers another powerful computing alternative that helps organizations quickly stand up new servers where and when needed, and gives employees and students secured access to content regardless of location.

Dell Wyse WSM delivers operating systems and applications separately to stateless, diskless clients on demand, providing a manageable, reliable and scalable PC computing experience from the cloud. Unlike traditional VDI, Dell Wyse WSM enables the desktop OS and applications to execute locally on the client, giving that client the same look, performance, feel and function of a traditional desktop PC, but storing all OS, applications, and data in the datacenter. With no OS residing on the client, management, support and updates, including Windows XP and Windows 7 migrations, are done centrally and take considerably less time than with a traditional distributed environment…

SMBs are also reaping the benefits of cloud computing when it comes to ERP solutions. Once a costly investment that often proved too much for small and medium-sized companies, cloud offers affordable on demand ERP options without sacrificing the benefits companies expect from an on-site ERP software system, including increased productivity, efficient growth and greater return on investment…

Reliance on legacy IT infrastructure is having a significant impact on productivity, reliability and costs, with constant upgrades needed to keep up with the networking requirements of virtualisation and cloud computing. This is one of the key findings of a global study of 1,750 enterprise IT decision makers and office workers into the networking problems faced by companies today.

According to the report, commissioned by networking vendor Brocade, dependence on out-dated datacentres means one third of respondents admitted their organisations experience multiple network failures per week. Additionally, while 75 per cent of IT decision makers surveyed said they had updated their IT environments in the last three years, 91 per cent said their existing infrastructures still required substantial upgrades to meet the standards required for integration with virtualisation and cloud technologies…

Amazon today announced that it is dropping the prices of dedicated instances on its EC2 cloud computing platform by up to 80%. Dedicated per region fees, which are charged on top of the regular EC2 fees, will now set developers back $2 per hour instead of $10, for example. That’s a large price cut, even by Amazon’s standards – and the company has a long history of lowering the prices of its cloud computing services.

Today’s price reduction, Amazon says, is an example of its “tradition of exploring ways to reduce costs and passing on the savings to our customers.” The new prices will be take effect on July 1 and will apply to all supported instance types and AWS regions…

Barracuda Networks Inc., a leading provider of security and storage solutions, today announced deeper integration of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall within Windows Azure. The Barracuda Web Application Firewall is one of the first Web Application Firewalls (WAF) available that is integrated into Windows Azure and can be deployed as a single instance or as part of a scalable security platform. This announcement further strengthens the relationship between Microsoft and Barracuda, first announced in February 2013.

As customers accelerate the migration of applications to cloud providers such as Windows Azure, they often overlook application security requirements. The vast majority of successful attacks, including modern application layer risks like SQL injection, application DDos, cross-site scripting and session tampering, target the application layer. Windows Azure provides organizations with a secure cloud infrastructure platform that is augmented by the Barracuda Web Application Firewall to provide customers strong application security within Windows Azure…
