Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Amazon recently announced the EC2 availability in Europe; this is a big announcement and Amazon is going to compete directly with Flexiscale in the European market.

The cost of launching servers in EC2 Europe is about 10% higher than the cost of launching the EC2 servers in the US. However, like the US EC2 offering the pricing for EC2 Europe is very competitive compared to other similar offerings.

On a different subject, Lori MacVittie published a very persuasive blog supporting the Application Centric approach we are promoting and implementing at Kaavo for managing the virtual resources.
