ETFMG and Wedbush Collaborate on Pure-Play Global Cloud Computing ETF: IVES - Yahoo Finance

Stakeholders have until May 15 to provide feedback to the National Institute of Standards and Technology on draft guidance for controlling how various users should be allowed to navigate within cloud computing environments.

Security is cited as a clear benefit in the federal governments policy for improving efficiency by driving agencies to use cloud providers for software-, platform- and infrastructure as a service to the furthest extent practicable.

But the push to adopt cloud services has sometimes led to a misconception that cloud providers become responsible for securing sensitive data from hackers.

Draft NIST Special Publication 800-210 dispenses that notion early on, before delving into specific guidelines and recommendations on the cloud services federal agencies are encouraged to adopt.

Regardless of the service model, consumers are entitled to be responsible for the security of their cloud-based data and, implicitly, of who has access to it, the authors write. For this reason, data is never controlled by cloud providers but rather always stays with the cloud customers.

Much like the physical world, security in the cloud relies on limiting the number of individuals who have access to various levels of a shared computing architecture.

Within an IaaS cloud model, which NIST describes as the cornerstone of all cloud services that offer computing and storage through a network such as the internet, virtual machines can use common storage and network bandwidth from a single physical computer. Administrators manage them via a monitor called a hypervisor.

Some cloud systems make it easy to share information among VMs by, for instance, allowing users to create multiple VMs on top of the same hypervisor if multiple VMs are available, NIST notes. This offers conveniences such as the ability to copy and paste information between virtual machines through a clipboard, but NIST warns it could also allow data leakage.

This introduces an attack vector, NIST says, noting isolation between VMs is necessary.

In addition, VM resource usage and management should be monitored and regulated so that a malicious VM can be prohibited from exhausting computation resources.

NIST provides tables to guide administrators on whether a party that has certain capabilities on one level, such as a virtual machine, should be granted access to another level, such as a hypervisor.

An attacker in a VM with lower access rights may be able to escalate their access privilege to a higher level by compromising the hardware resources allocation within the hypervisor, the publication reads. Protecting the hypervisor from unauthorized access is therefore critical to the security of IaaS service.

NIST notes that establishing access control over the hypervisor is only available in privatenot publiccloud environments.

Global Cloud Computing Chips Market expected to grow USD XX.X million by 2025 - Curious Desk

The unprecedented shift to new forms of work and play for millions of internet users worldwide has caused a monumental surge in demand among services and applications that operate on cloud infrastructure.

The powerful agility and reliability of cloud computing has been the secret sauce of our world, powering work productivity, virtual gatherings for meetings and interactions with friends and family, online on-demand entertainment, virtually hosting education courses and training seminars, fueling e-commerce, cross border collaborative endeavors, and so much more following the paradigm shift after the coronavirus moved everyone indoors for large quantities of time.

While previously under-utilized software and tools are finally flourishing from home offices, the underlying framework of the major cloud service providers is now being tested on unheard-of levels. In the wake of the crisis, many industry observers expected the Big Four cloud giants of IBM, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to be overburdened beyond their limits.

In the first true mass test of public cloud coping capabilities, the opposite has instead proven to be the rule: Cloud network support and cloud-based applications have not only been performing at close to optimal levels across the major service providers, they have also handled the lions share of load-bearing duties with barely a performance blip. At least, so far.

AWS has been shouldering the support for most of the consumer-facing applications that have been called into heavy usage over the past two months. This includes the likes of the now ubiquitous Zoom, Netflix, and Slack. These apps have all had to scale rapidly to cope with heightened usage of their platforms, and their backend support has risen admirably to the challenge.

In addition to this, AWS is also hosting and supporting parent company Amazons other digitized holdings, like their Amazon Prime video streaming service, the Twitch gaming platform, and even its namesake online shopping platform all of which have also seen increased traffic.

Even Amazons robust physical delivery and supply chain operations are struggling to cope. So far, AWS has been managing all these loads with aplomb.

As the fallout from the pandemic continues, major cloud operators have even been supplying a selection of their service offerings for free, or at significant cut-rate prices.

In addition to offering its web productivity kit G-Suite for free to the healthcare sector and helping build out new data mining techniques for the COVID-19 open research dataset, Google Cloud has also activated its Black Friday/Cyber Monday Protocol (that deals with unseasonably high traffic surges) to help retailers and other businesses that are going through exponential traffic booms.

IBM, like all major public clouds, has contributed reserve cloud capacity to handle consumption spikes, but also attributes the ease of this with having transformed many of its critical apps such as file transferring and video streaming into cloud-native architectures making it more flexible to shift around heavier workloads to where there is available capacity.

This contained approach to workload management has helped organize strained enterprise loads, delivering a denser application of the cloud-based environment.

Cloud services, especially from the major providers, have really come a long way in the past decade. Data load strains and rationing have hardly been an issue for most enterprise clients, although Microsoft did explain that the accelerated demand for Azures services meant that a few temporary restrictions were implemented to balance the best possible experience for all of our customers, the company said in an Azure blog.

This load balancing was initially announced in the same post that revealed the explosive growth in adoption of Microsofts own proprietary platforms like Microsoft Teams, which saw a whopping 775 percent increase in users in Italy, and Windows Virtual Desktop, which has seen 3x growth in the same month.

The ease that remote connectivity is enjoying this time around is due in no small part to the unsung heroes of public cloud networking. While remote working and social isolation are disrupting other aspects of a balanced life, we can be thankful that at least the technology-driven disruptors are being solidly backed up. A little patch of assurance in a sea of uncertainty for the moment, at least.

Public cloud muscle has proved it can bear the strain - TechHQ

The electricity consumption profile of companies around the world has been altered profoundly over the past month, as countries have adopted "shelter in place" measures to slow or at least control the spread of the coronavirus, corporate offices have shuttered and industrial production sharply curtailed.

One obvious exception: the worlds data centers and internet infrastructure, which are experiencing an unprecedented spike in usage.

Just one example: As homes have become places of both business and education, the use of videoconferencing and collaboration services has skyrocketed.

Research suggests that the average daily usage of the Zoom application is up more than 300 percent since December (although that was before the backlash about its security in early April). Meanwhile, Microsoft is reporting a massive uptick in adoption of its Teams application with 44 million people using the application as of March 28, up 12 million from the week before.

Thats just two applications, and it doesnt cover the impact of all those exercise videos or movies or multiplayer games that people of all ages are streaming to keep themselves occupied in the evenings or on weekends. I haven't seen any specific data measuring the change in consumption over the past month, but check your own utility bill for evidence.

The good news is many of the biggest cloud computing and data center providers have continued to focus on improving energy efficiency alongside their investments in sourcing renewable energy. This is a story Ive been reporting on since February, but it has become even more relevant in the past few weeks.

How much more efficient? Research released in late February by researchers at Northwestern University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Koomey Analyticsfound that total global data center energy consumption grew 6 percent between 2010 and 2018, even though the number of "compute instances" grew by 6.5 times during that same timeframe.

Put another way: Thats a modest increase, considering there was a 26-fold increase in data storage capacity, an 11-fold rise in data center IP traffic and the number of physical computer servers was up 30 percent. Specifically, the sector consumed about 205 terawatt-hours in 2018, which represents about 1 percent of global electricity usage about the same as back in 2010.

"Considering that data centers are energy-intensive enterprises in a rapidly evolving industry, we do need to analyze them rigorously," said Arman Shehabi, a research scientist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who co-authored the study. "Less detailed analyses have predicted rapid growth in data center energy use, but without fully considering the historical efficiency progress made by the industry. When we include that missing piece, a different piece of our digital lifestyles emerges."

The big cloud computing providers, of course, have expended much energy on plans to consume less electricity.

Google, for example, can deliver seven times as much computing power today as it did five years ago, using the same amount of electrical power, according to a blog published by Urs Holze, senior vice president of technical infrastructure, in late February. As I reported about 18 months ago, it automates many tasks such as cooling and load balancing using artificial intelligence. That makes the typical Google data center about twice as energy-efficient as localized, enterprise data centers.

Zoom has trumpeted the sustainability benefits of virtual meetings for years, but has said very little about the energy used to support its services. Its strategic data center partner is the worlds biggest provider, Equinix, which supports a 100 percent clean energy goal (as of its latest sustainability report) and is a big customer of fuel cells from Bloom Energy.

Remember that other company that is benefiting bigly from the spike of interest in team collaboration services? Well, Microsoft is testing all manner of approaches in many places, it has figured out ways to minimize or eliminate mechanical cooling entirely, Brian Janous, general manager of energy and sustainability, told me when we caught up last month as the COVID-19 crisis began to deepen.

One of the more novel approaches, for example, is its test of submerged data centers using "free water" rather than "free air" to keep servers, drives, networking gear and other gadgets cool. While its unreasonable to expect this design to dominate in the future, it could be particularly valuable for building new "edge" processing facilities near urban centers with access to water and with limited real estate. "That is where that type of data center becomes interesting," he said.

The key to a 100 percent renewable grid is a really responsive load.

While the needs of business continuity require that data centers include basically a one-to-one ratio when it comes to backup resources, Microsoft is studying ways those idle resources could help stabilize the local grid in times of peak demand or instability. Its moving to lithium-ion battery technologies and deploying artificial intelligence to help with that mission, he said.

One of the more intriguing approaches Ive heard for rewriting the rules of cloud computing energy consumption is being developed by a technology startup called Lancium, which hails from Houston. Technically speaking, Lancium is not focused on data center energy efficiency in the traditional sense but it is working on various technologies that help servers adjust their electricity consumption in unique ways.

Lanciums high-level vision is to create "Pausable Data Centers" specifically meant for high-performance cloud computing. These facilities one is close to completion in Texas are architected to operate alongside wind farms, especially those operating in regions where turbine production sometimes must be curtailed due to the overabundance of clean energy being sent to the grid, so prices sometimes turn negative for operators.

These Pausable Data Centers are designed to balance the electricity being sent to the grid, by taking that excess energy and using it instead for "interruptible" applications such as machine learning, industrial or scientific calculations, and modeling simulations. The technology can be spin up or shut down very quickly.

"The key to a 100 percent renewable grid is a really responsive load," Michael McNamara, co-founder and CEO of Lancium, told me when we chatted earlier this year.

According to the presentation it uses to pitch its concept, Lancium can offer a 50 to 90 percent cost savings over traditional cloud data centers by using ultra-low-cost wind power (helping wind farm operators), siting the facilities on lower-cost real estate outside of expensive urban areas and extending the life of older servers.

Lancium is discussing the concept with both wind farm operators in over-congested wind regions that could benefit from the offtake agreements and organizations that require high-performance computing, such as scientific research agencies, universities or pharmaceutical companies, McNamara said.

Prior to the pandemic, Lancium was hoping to announce its first facility this spring. For now, its not making any official statements. However, the company just secured its fifth patent for its Smart Response power management software. The feature lets data centers adjust server electricity consumption based on factors such as price and other power grid conditions.

"As we are now commercializing Lancium Smart Response, we look forward to working with major data center operators to enable large cost savings and help them achieve their environmental, social and governance objectives," McNamara said in a statement about the new patent.

This article was updated April 8 to clarify the source of the new data center energy efficiency research.

Coronavirus, the stay-at-home workstyle, and cloud energy consumption - GreenBiz

Written by Paul Katigbak President commercial sales at Dell Technologies, Canada

In a relatively short period of time, cloud computing has transitioned from a foreign concept to an omnipresent service proven to be the most efficient means to manage and store data. While the evolving convenience, accessibility and flexibility of the cloud has changed its perceived value, every organization is moving at its own pace through their cloud journey. Yet, nearly all are working with a multi-cloud approachincluding a combination of clouds hosted on-premises, in public clouds and at the edge. In fact, according to a study by IDC, an overwhelming majority of organizations (93%) are deploying workloads across two or more clouds which are hosted on-premises, co-located or at edge locations.

As organizations embark on their digital transformation journey, it is imperative they have a strategy in place to make the most of the data, security, resiliency and application advantages of multi-cloud environments. There are also challenges that should be considered including multiple application programming interfaces (APIs), longer development time and roadblocks to sharing applications and data across cloud platforms. A hybrid-cloud approach enables consistent infrastructure and operations that can extend customers applications and processes seamlessly across public, private and edge deployment options.

As Canadian businesses place a closer focus on multi-cloud solutions, here are some important considerations to make the most of a multi-cloud strategy.

One of the primary benefits of cloud is that it provides the ability to access data anytime, anywhere, but theres no denying that it also means data is more open to security threats. Weve seen this as data breaches have become increasingly common. Legacy systems, however, are continually being deemed inefficient in the current tech environment. Yet at the same time, as modernization begins to take place, there is an inherent cybersecurity concern that comes from the lack of control and visibility into security practices in hosted cloud environments. Multi-cloud balances this concern by allowing organizations to select the right environment and level of security for each workload. In a multi-cloud environment, sensitive information can stay on-premises but public-facing information can still be hosted off-premises.

To make the most of multi-clouds benefits, organizations must remember to consider cloud as an operating model and should seek relationships with the right partners that allow them to plan and treat cloud on a workload by workload basis while also providing awareness of security policies.

While cloud environments offer clear benefits in terms of efficiency and cost, a business needs can change. Multi-cloud environments provide the ability to adjust through flexibility and transparency helping both IT teams and organizations in general, find true business value. An organization can choose how to handle each workloadbut has the flexibility to easily change how data sets and workloads are stored and used if necessary.

With the complexity that is layered over multiple clouds and multiple vendors, having one central hub for operations and management reduces complexity and can help lighten the load for IT staff/maintenance.

With this type of approach, multiple environments can be monitored and automated from a single control pane, which greatly reduces the time and effort required to maintain multi-cloud environments. This creates transparency across all assets no matter where they reside, allowing for more efficient operations as well as the ability to gauge return on investment from each vendor. To make the most of any cloud environment, organizations should look at their long-term plan to determine how their infrastructure needs will evolve over the next five, 10 or even 20 years.

Transitioning to the cloud is one of the most important and fundamental steps in any organizations digital transformation. A multi-cloud approach, when implemented correctly, should be a best practice to keep data secure. The benefits are numerous, and with the future primed for the evolution and adaptation of emerging tech, multi-cloud provides an essential foundation for tomorrows workloads and workforce needs.

Government Cloud Computing Market Size Analysis, Top Manufacturers, Shares, Growth Opportunities and Forecast to 2026 - Science In Me

(Bloomberg) -- With millions of people around the world stuck in their home offices to help contain the coronavirus outbreak, companies that specialize in remote-working products are becoming a hot spot.

For that reason, Direxion is planning to start a new work-from-home exchange-traded fund that tracks industries such as cloud technologies, remote communications and cyber security, according to a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ETF will trade under the ticker WFH.

Thematic funds, which seek to capture trends that are easily explained to retail investors, have struggled in a crowded ETF marketplace. However, Direxions remote-work offering is likely to resonate with traders given the recent popularity of those companies, according to CFRA Researchs Todd Rosenbluth.

This ETF combines some popular, well-established thematic strategies focused on cloud computing and cyber security with remote learning and document management that are all the more pressing, given Covid-19 concerns are likely to remain, said Rosenbluth, CFRAs director of ETF research.

Cloud-computing companies have been a clear beneficiary of the stay-at-home and social distancing measures to help combat the spread of the virus. Shares of Microsoft Corp. soared last week after the company said its cloud services usage spiked by 775%.

Still, some analysts arent convinced about the positive trend for the industry. While WFHs narrative is compelling, the valuations of the tracked companies likely reflect the markets enthusiasm for this theme, according to Morningstar Inc.s Ben Johnson.

This too shall pass and investors have already bid up the shares of a lot of these stocks, said Johnson, Morningstars co-head of passive strategy research.

Other issuers have sought to capitalize on the work-from-home boost. The Wedbush ETFMG Global Cloud Technology ETF, which tracks global small and mid-cap companies involved in cloud infrastructure and technology, began trading this week.

Unlike the majority of Direxions products, WFH wont use leverage to amplify returns. The new offering is consistent with Direxions focus on broadening its thematic offerings to buy-and-hold investors, head of ETF product David Mazza wrote in an email. The firm launched three non-leveraged ETFs in February as part of that strategy.

While leveraged ETFs remain part of their lineup, they have expanded beyond the nice and highly tactical short-term oriented products, Rosenbluth said.

(Adds tout. An earlier version of this story corrected Microsofts share price.)

Theres a Work-From-Home ETF Coming and Its Ticker is WFH - Yahoo Finance

At some point, the coronavirus crisis will be over. The shock wave will have ebbed. But the brand-business landscape will be different. Peoples behaviors will be different. However, basic universal needs will still be the same. Karl Albrecht, in his 1994 book, The Northbound Train, stated that successful leaders will be shock wave riders who see the big waves on the horizon and are intuitive enough to position their businesses to ride those waves. In other words: see the big wave on the horizon for your brand. Look far ahead. What do you see? What is your brand vision?

A brand with a clear, powerful, articulate vision defines its North Star. A shared brand-business vision is a powerful, big brand wave. A shared vision keeps brand-businesses going strong, over decades. Having a shared brand-business vision creates resilience and endurance.

Bill Gates had a vision.His vision was that one day there would be a computer on every desk and in every home. Microsoft did not make computers. Its mission was to make computers as easy to use as the telephone. As a software company, Microsofts purpose was to put the power of computers into peoples hands so they can access, integrate and use information more easily than ever before: what they call information at your fingertips. Even with all of the new services such as cloud computing, Microsoft is staying true to its vision.

Henry Ford had a vision that everyone who makes a car will be able to drive a car to work. To make this happen, Ford would make a car affordable for every American. The Peace Corps had a vision that life can be better even for those who have little hope. To make this come true, it would create a peaceful army teaching skills not making war thereby turning hopelessness into hopefulness.

Perhaps one of the most enduring visions that created one our most beloved brands came from Walt Disney.Walt Disneys vision was to create a place where the whole family could have fun and escape from the stresses of the real world. It would be a safe, high quality, happy, magical place appropriate for the whole family. What is amazing about Walt Disneys vision is that it is not only alive and well today, but that it continues to guide the Disney brand-business now and into the future.

In a recent interview about Disney post-coronavirus crisis with Bob Iger, Executive Chairman, he said, We have always been a place for people to go to enjoy their lives and distance themselves from whatever daily issues they may be facing. Walt Disney could have said this.

Mr. Iger added that when this terrible crisis is over, Disney would still be the place for enjoyment and a place to escape to. This does not mean that it will be business as usual. Well within the framework of Walt Disneys vision is the idea that for people to have an enjoyable, magical experience, they must feel comfortable and safe. Walt Disneys original vision is still relevant today and it will still be relevant tomorrow. Iger is still executing against Walt Disneys vision that people want a safe, happy, magical place to escape to.

What made Disneys vision so powerful? Walt Disneys vision had the five critical characteristics that a vision must have.

First, it is aspirational. Mr. Disney articulated an ambitious, challenging and compelling idea. It is a possible dream.

Second, he provided a clear sense of direction, one that still guides the organization today.His vision defined where he wanted to go. It was about more than parks. It was an emotional state... a mindset. This direction captured the spirit of the organization and provided an umbrella for future brand developments, such as Disney Cruises, Disney Resorts or an actual town, Celebration, Florida, in which to live.

Third, Walt Disneys vision defined the purpose of the business, why the organization exists. The idea of a happy place to escape to for people of all ages is an inspiring sense of purpose. Today, Disney offers many options for escape from movies, to sports (ESPN) to vacations, to a new streaming service.

Fourth, it is simple and clear. Walt Disneys vision continues to be easily communicated, easy to read and easy to understand. This makes it easy to execute.

Fifth, the vision is inspiring.The vision is compelling, visceral and motivating. It is a powerful force, even in hard times, as Mr. Iger references: Its (the coronavirus) the biggest (challenge) by far in terms of challenges. You have to be realistic about the size of this and the impact of it all. But, we know when it ends that we will have things for the public to enjoy maybe in ways they will appreciate more than they ever have.

A compelling vision is a business North Star. Years ago, a co-CEO of the beverage company Odwalla, said, A vision statement is like the sun. You cant ever get there, but its an attractive force that stimulates the growth of many things. Making progress toward your brand-business vision is a continuing constant for the enterprise.

A brand-business vision defines the common direction for all actions on behalf of the enterprise. Without a defined direction, a brand can lose its way. As the late George Harrison sang, And if you dont know where youre going, any road will take you there. A powerful vision guides the brand-business through good times and bad times. A powerful vision frames the present and creates the future.
