Cloud Computing – The Online Equivalent of a “U-Store It”
Monday, April 20, 2009 by Brian Wolff
A friend of mine is getting ready to move into a condo. The contents of his current home are being divided into three categories, things he will move, things he will give away, and things he will store in case one of his kids needs it later. 

He is going to rent a physical storage large enough to contain all the items he thinks his kids might want.  His rent will be determined by how much storage he needs. He expects it to be secure from theft, protected from destruction and accessible so he can reclaim his belongings whenever he wants.  As he gives away items or accumulates he can move to a smaller or larger storage unit.

In a nutshell, customers coming to BlueLock are looking many of the same items.  Our VMware virtual storage allows our customers to scale on demand; increasing or decreasing the size of the cloud to match their needs.

My friend expects a secure environment and so do our clients. This need for high levels of security is why we include the Shavlik Security Suite as part of our comprehensive cloud computing solution.

Partnering with Shavlik a recognized leader in the security software market allows us to deliver a proven solution for our customers which address the patch management and compliance challenges inherent in highly distributed physical and virtual environments.
