Amazon, IBM Tops In Cloud Computing: Report

By Andrew R Hickey, CRN

Amazon (NSDQ:AMZN) and IBM (NYSE:IBM) are the kings of cloud computing, according to a new report released by research and analysis firm BTC Logic.

According to the quarterly report from BTC Logic, Amazon and IBM beat out the others in seven categories - cloud foundations, cloud infrastructure, cloud network services, cloud platforms, cloud applications, cloud security and cloud management - to be deemed "cloud champions." BTC Logic found that Amazon and IBM each ranked within the top five in four separate categories. Amazon received high marksin cloud infrastructure, network services, platform and management while IBM ranked well for cloud infrasturcture, platform, security and management.

Meanwhile, BTC Logic ranked a host of other companies "cloud heavyweights" based on their rankings. While they ranked high, the heavyweights didn't capture top spots in as many categories as Amazon and IBM. The heavyweights include Cisco Systems, Citrix, EMC, Google, Level 3, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, Salesforce.com, Symantec and VMware, BTC Logic's report indicated.

But despite their ranking has heavyweights, cloud computing mainstays Google (NSDQ:GOOG) and Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT), which are also among the most vocal vendors when it comes to cloud computing, failed to take the top spot in any of the seven categories presented in the report. Read the full story.

Cambridge Connections, with its unique background as an IBM Business Partner of eighteen years and a Laserfiche PDP, has developed a private cloud offering for Laserfiche licensees. Using Amazon Web Services, Cambridge has developed an optimized Laserfiche Instance to be offered by Laserfiche VARs, featuring Windows Server 2008, data transfer and backup between regional data centers, Elastic IPs, server monitoring and reporting.

Cambridge’s “Docs-on-the-Cloud” is a private, virtual server optimized for Laserfiche users who do not wish to support on-premise servers. The server is hosted on IBM\Amazon data centers, assuring quality-of-service and reliability. Laserfiche clients connect by simply registering their server with its unique name (e.g. mydocs.docsonthecloud.com ) Cambridge is a certified Amazon Solutions Provider.

A number of current and potential Laserfiche users have expressed an interest in implementing document management “in-the-cloud”. Cambridge has developed the convenience of a cloud-based hosted service, while maintaining Laserfiche’s powerful functions, security and licensing options.

“Docs-on-the-Cloud” provides an alternate, optimized architecture for Laserfiche users:

No internal server hardware, server software or backups to administer;
No up-front hardware server costs - simply a monthly fee for the service period;
No change to your Laserfiche licensing or VAR agreements;
Delivered by your trusted Laserfiche VAR;
Includes backup;
Includes secure data transfer;
Maintains full Laserfiche administration and configuration rights;
Can have separate instances for Laserfiche and SQL Server;
Transferrable, can always be moved back to an on-premise server, if desired.

Comments from testing Laserfiche Docs-on-the-Cloud have been extremely favorable. Examples are:

“Snapshot, OCRing documents, creating folders and copying documents all worked flawlessly.”

“There was no slow down with scanning, storing or importing documents –
ran just as fast on my virtual machine.”

Cambridge will provide streamlined enrollment, instance creation, backup management, integration and back office support. Docs-on-the-Cloud is not offered as Software-as-a-Service. Principal sales and support will be conducted by the user's trusted Laserfiche VARs, who will supply the retail Laserfiche license keys for each instance. All instances are for a minimum one-year contract.

Cambridge, based in Columbus, OH, is recognized by Laserfiche and it’s over 600 active international VARs as a trusted source for robust Laserfiche integration solutions. Laserfiche is a full feature document management solution with an extensive API, allowing Cambridge to integrate natively with a number of other applications. There are more than 27,000 organizations including federal, state, and local government agencies and Fortune 1000 companies using Laserfiche software to streamline document, records and business process management. Cambridge currently has integrations with Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains, AutoCAD and IBM Lotus Notes with additional integrations under development.
