Azure Sessions at Cloud Expo
So much happened in January 2010 for the cloud storage world.
First was the Windows Azure Platform went from public preview to full
production. Second was Google Docs opened up for any file type
upload/download, effectively making it a GDrive in the cloud.
How would these affect you? This article will compare the two cloud storage
offerings from price, speed, usability, service level agreement and to
developer support.
1. Price
Google’s storage cost = 25c / Gigabyte / year = 2c / Gigabyte / month.
There is no additional transfer cost.
Windows Azure’s storage cost is at 15c / Gigabyte / month. There is
additional cost for transfer data in and out.
Note: Google storage is clearly cheaper, about 10 times cheaper.
2. Speed
We will use Gladinet Cloud Desktop to map both in a virtual drive in Windows
Explorer and compare the time it takes to... (more)

GoGrid Session at Cloud Expo
A few months ago, we introduced MyGSIs (personal server images) which allow
users to create custom personal GSI (GoGrid Server Images) with all of their
code, applications and data.
These personal server images are then compressed and stored in GoGrid’s
Cloud Storage for use later instantiating copies of those MyGSIs within a
user’s GoGrid cloud.
Building upon that framework, backend structure and concept, we have released
Partner GSIs and the GoGrid Exchange.
A Partner GSI appears in the same list of servers or sandboxes available for
deployment.

Sometimes it is important to reflect back on activities and achievements of
the past year in order to focus on the road ahead. 2009 was a year full of
“firsts” and exciting announcements for GoGrid and I thought that I would

I have personally enjoyed documenting our achievements, analyzing trends,
reviewing opportunities, showcasing new clients and partners as well as
musing about Cloud Computing in general. Much of the writing on the GoGrid
blog during 2009 was my own, however, the people who have helped provide me
