- Amazon Adds CloudWatch Monitoring, Other Services
- Amazon to ‘Open Source’ their cloud API’s

- Credit Card Council Looks Into Cloud Security
- You knew it had to be coming – and now it has!
- Bulk Loading/Export from Clouds
- This shows how the systems are starting to mature. It has always been a fear how to get large data sets to and from cloud systems.

- Cloud Electronic Socket for $100
- This is key, this moves backup from significant chunky machines (PC’s) to a small appliance no larger than an electrical adapter. Very nice, and I hope successful.
- Socket appliance backs up to cloud storage
- Tibco enters the cloud space using Silver on Amazon
- Microsoft and Sun talk interoperability
