Nouveaux services cloud: Colt put on the scurit to convince

Business – the oprator put much on this new offer which aims at the time SME and the large accounts. Discussion with Batrice Rollet, marketing director of division Managed Services at Colt.

More known in so much qu `oprator of rseau voice-dated high efficiency for the companies and service provider manags, Colt S `is lanc this T in the adventure of the cloud computing through a division ddie: Colt Managed Services (CMS).

This segment of march has indeed the wheel in motion (port in particular by the crisis) and undertaken it N `does not intend to miss to it stage coach with its offer baptizes Enterprise Cloud. It east constitutes D `one fuses three tages but this day, only first D `has T to between-them plac in orbit. It S `acts of Colt Managed Workspace which proposes a accs distance from the bureaucratic applications and
mtiers Microsoft (Office, Sharepoint, Visio, Project,
Messaging).

For as much, competition on this ground is dj trs hard. How the British count does diffrencier? “; Us minks the small time the large ones and the entreprises”; , explains us Batrice Rollet, marketing director of division Managed Services at Colt.

“; Indeed, all seek aujourd `today flexibilit and continuit of service, Mrs. in SME which N `do not identify the universe cloud forcment. But we make to measure, not fits pied”; .

Breakdown

And obviously, SME seems in the center of the priorits of Colt (like much D `other oprateurs D `elsewhere): “; 75% of SME identify hbergement the distance as a solution of continuit and of performance, especially lorsqu `they do not possdent in-house comptences to ensure this continuit”; , it adds responsible.

But Colt put especially on its rputation of solidit to make the diffrence. Whereas certain services hbergs as those of Google have multipli the breakdowns, the British proposes his rseau highly scuris and redond which in particular convinced of the banks and the trader sites.

“; The applications must function 100% of time, the externalisation rpond this problmatique. Still one needs qu `it is scurise. C `is a major stake because give them are critical. Our rseau highly scuris (standard ISO, 25.000 fibre kilomtres, 18 datacenters in Europe) is our chart of visite”; affirm Batrice Rollet.

Mrs. tonalit on behalf of Maggy Mac Clelland, Directrice of activit CMS of Colt that ZDNet. Fr has interrog. “; We matrisons all the processes: we possdons the rseau, the datacenter, C `is a solid foundation trs and indpendante. Our competitors cannot say autant” of it; .

Reste that Colt, malgr its efforts, N `is not the shelter of the breakdowns. one of its datacenter europens knew a major incident causing the cut of many services IP. Of what corner an brand image built on annes and to call into question this speech? …

For as much, this breakdown is a premire. “; To say that the solutions are sres 100% is a mensonge”; , tempre it responsible. And of prciser qu `are it is necessary D `access to raise the good questions (Which the hberger applications? It is necessary to know qu `they have a whole a level of scurit diffrent. Which are the needs?) so D `viter D `tre will confront problmes of scurit.

For Colt, the cloud in particular and the services manags in gnral are stratgic. “; They increase by 30% per annum “; , the oprator affirms. Next slaps: Colt Cloud Infrastructure Services which will provide services of storage and …

Acquisition of Perot: Dell is reinforced in the services blows of billion dollars

The texan group announces indeed the repurchase of Perot Systems (founds by the tycoon texan Ross Perot) in order to be reinforced in the data processing departments.

Going up of the transaction: 3,9 billion dollars is 2,7 billion D `euros! The objective is clear: to reinforce its positions in the services, segment of march in growth O HP (which has rachet EDS for 13,9 billion dollars) and IBM rgnent in matres.

It S `acts D `a tender offer the friendly one. Dell proposes 30 dollars per action
Perot whereas this one S `tablissait 18 dollars approximately in end of

stratgic Diversification

For Dell, the stake is to diversify its sources of revenue. The world numro two of the PC draws 60% from its figure D `businesses of the sale D `computers, against 33% at HP. The difficults of the world march of the PC seems to have acclr the catch of dcision of the ct of Dell…

C2S reconciles storage and virtual machines

tude of case – the subsidiary company of Bouygues has associ its projects of virutalisation of waiters and work stations, an architecture of storage which combines dduplication with the level of bays and tools of rplication and Thin Provisioning de VMware.

Filire data-processing of the Group Bouygues, C2S is a socit data processing departments which accompanies the DSI by the group within the framework of projects of recasting, of modification and D `volution of their infrastructures. C2S dveloppe and forms the others galement entits of Bouygues of the mtiers applications.

In 2007, the socit starts a plan of rationalization which results in an important recourse to. The waiters of the company are the first tre ports on virtual machines, that is to say about fifty waiters. C2S does not count thus dsormais more but five physical waiters and two ESX 3. 5 of VMWare (and two ESX supplmentaires for the redundancy).

L `storage space divided utilis by 7 grce the dduplication

Within the framework of its mission of formation, it undertaken has then engag a project of virtual work station (VDI) for its three classrooms. For, C2S S `supports on customers lgers Wyse (15 terminals by rooms) and the solution View 3 of VMware.

« Previously, before each training course, one needed remasteriser the work stations, which ncessitait a journe man. With the solution of VDI, for prparer the virtual machines and the mtiers applications to which the trainings relate, this tche is excute in one hour » explain, Pascal Bouthelot, chief of the service equipments production at C2S.

a bay of 4 To for the storage of the images

However, such an architecture (stations and waiters virtualiss) ncessite also a storage solution adapts. Give associate with the virtual machines are store on a bay of storage NetApp (in cluster) FAS 3020 C of 4 To, with the active one. This technology allowed C2S to divide by seven storage space utilis.

For rpondre its increasing requirements in terms for volumtrie, C 2 S.A. acquired one second NetApp bay, galement of 4 To. If the premire is out of Chanel Fibre (with discs of 146 Go 15.000 tours/s), the bay supplmentaire is as it in protocol iSCSI, but hberge of less critical volumes and less consumers.

« With the dbut of our project, there is a little more than two years, we have test. With the poque one, it conceals more constraining D `technically to associate this protocol of the virtual machines in VMware VI 3 – management of the Frame Jumbos and the almost impossible MPIO » , Pascal Bouthelot justifies.

a recourse to the native functions of VMware to optimize the coteuse licence

In S `pressing on Mrs. technology of storage, C 2 S.A. galement test, in environment of production, a recovery plan D `activit with a distant location. The objective: to quickly allow, in the event of disaster, the redmarrage of its infrastructure composes D `a hundred of virtual machines.

For that, another bay has T connects to the principal site by black fibre. On the level of the software tools, C2S S `is appuy on SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure and SnapMirror for the rplication, remplac since by VMware SRM and the fonctionnalits of high disponibilit like Fault Tolerance.

virtual Bookshops: lalternative or complment of the cartridges bands

Analyzes – By using the disc, a bookshop of virtual cartridges relieves the stresses of the bands in terms of fiabilit and performances. But it introduces news of them, in particular when it S `acts to put the safeguards in place Sr.

qu `is this qu `a VTL?

a VTL (Virtual Types Library), O virtual bookshop of cartridges bandages, is a systme of storage on discs which mule a bookshop of cartridges bandages until in the least dtails – modle of bookshop, type and many readers. He is possible Mrs. of crer diffrentes VTL in Mrs. systme to consolidate several physical bookshops. The existing tools of safeguard are thus entirement leurrs. « Much D `undertaken virtualisent identical the their old bookshops, then qu `it is often prfrable to give flat structures it » , note Pascal Contet, consultant storage and safeguard at SCC.

Why choose a solution VTL plutt qu `a simple safeguard on disc?

It can seem more logical to migrate directly towards a backup solution on disc of the type CDP or Snapshot, plutt that D `muler of the bookshops. This approach dfend for SME whose volumtrie is modest. But several reasons push in direction D `a VTL. Any D `access, this one is transparent for the existing infrastructure – tools and agents of safeguard. It thus does not give causes procdures of them. But according to Pascal Contet, there exists a more important reason: « Ralises on file servers, the safeguards on discs of the type CDP can pose problmes of scurit and performances. While working in block mode on the SAN, the VTL remove these risks, thus making it possible to consolidate the safeguards the chelle one of the company. »

the constraints lgales imposing filing on tape constitute a dernire reason D `to choose a VTL. « This one allows D `acclrer then and to make reliable the copies, which remain carry out in soldering iron end on cartridges » , prcise Francis Soft, responsible robot-like and bandages at IBM.

Which the advantages and inconvnients compared to the cartridges bandages?

the advantages are measured in terms of dbits and fiabilit. The cartridges bands are indeed rputes slow and fragile. With discs, one reaches performances ten twenty times suprieures, that is to say 100 Go/heure 1 To/heure, as well safeguards of them qu `in restoration.

the premires solutions VTL posted a cot by Go much more lev that the cartridges. « But since the appearance of the dduplication, whose rate D `efficacit and of the order of 10:1 20:1, this cot is appreciably quivalent, even infrior » , affirms Alexandre Delcayre, person in charge of the world center of comptence of FalconStor.

Among the inconvnients of the VTL, the discs cannot tre aisment put the shelter on a distant location, contrary to the cartridges. It is thus necessary, either to preserve a small bookshop of cartridges, or rpliquer the safeguards via a rseau IP or Chanel Fibre. D `another share, the VTL are rvlent badly adapt to the slectives restorations. « If it one wishes for example to restore only some emails plutt that all the base, a safeguard of the type CDP east advise » , explains Pascal Contet.

Microsoft has officialis the coming out date of Zune HD, sound

Comparatively, the iPod 8 Go dimensions 229 dollars, 16 Go is sold 299 dollars

That will be it sufficient to make of the shade
Apple? To see. The only weak link of soldering iron remains the diffusion of
contents, thing in which Apple excels with iTunes. Microsoft N `does not have yet

A spokesperson D `Amazon recognized that the removal of the titles conceals « bad a ide and that the systme went tre modifi of manire this qu `such a operation is not any more ncessaire » .

No contrle palable of the diteurs by Amazon

a similar msaventure S `is produced with D `other books and in particular of the titles D `Harry Potter. This business is likely to sow the disorder in the users of Kindle who go on a commercial platform, pays for tlcharger contents in theory lgal but is finally the thank you of this kind D `error.
