>>> IBM and SAP preview cloud mobility at CeBIT
>>> (http://news.cnet.com/8301-19413_3-10186589-240.html)
Mostly based on IBM's Live Partition Mobility, which allows an AIX logical partition to be moved live from one server to another.This IBM technology is in line with VMware who announced work towards workload mobility across data centers through their vCloud initiative, and the Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum is looking at similar technologies as well.
Discussion: Is this more trouble for VMware? IBM is one of their top channel partners and they are coming up with their own technology for mobility of apps.

>>> Ongoing activity in cloud mobility with AppZero appliances
>>> (http://blogs.zdnet.com/virtualization/?p=740)
AppZero demoed at Demo 2009 how their technology can migrate a virtualized application from an EC2 instance to a GoGrid environment.This touts that "application virtualization" is the best way to federate compute demand among clouds, simplify adoption of cloud computing, and avoid vendor lock-in from cloud providers.
Discussion: In this framework, is the O/S is left out from relevance?

TechCrunch Cloud Event. Great Roster. (Marc Benioff, CEO, Salesforce.com; Vic Gundotra, VP Engineering, Google; Amitabh Srivastava, Corporate VP, Windows Azure; Lew Tucker, CTO, Cloud Computing, Sun Microsystems; Scott Dietzen, SVP Communications Products, Yahoo; Paul Buchheit, Co-founder, FriendFeed; creator of Gmail; Werner Vogels, CTO Amazon; Mike Schroepfer, VP of Engineering, Facebook; Gina Bianchini, CEO, Ning; John Engates, CTO, Rackspace)
http://www.techcrunch.com/whose-cloud-is-it-anyway/

A few cheap shots between panelists, but nothing brand new. Standouts: Marc Benioff still says the fight is between the old model of buying software and the cloud models. Eric Schonfeld says you can stop beating up on Siebel, but Benioff says he loses more deals to that than bickering between other cloud offerings.

Discussion: Are the relevant battles really between the old computing/software models and new models, or between different cloud providers?
