Global CIO: Global Banks Form Consortium To Counter HP, IBM, & Oracle
April 27, 2010 @ 14:27 PM | By Gregory MacSweeney
My colleague Bob Evans over at InformationWeek's Global CIO is reporting that three big banks -- ok, huge banks -- will band together to develop a secure financial services-specific cloud infrastructure so they don't have to rely on services and technology from HP, Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. The three banks, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Bank of America, and Deutsche Bank, are planning to launch the syndicate on May 17. It's not a surprising move, since financial services CIOs have been quite public with their concerns about cloud computing and that cloud providers are not taking their security and compliance complaints seriously. For instance after a March 2010 meeting of the Cloud Innovation Council, Julio Gomez, founder of the financial services Innovation Councils, blogged that cloud vendors just don't get it and are not responding to banking CIO's complaints about cloud security. In any case, this seems to be a wake-up call for cloud vendors. Banks see the value in cloud and are willing to go it alone, rather than wait for cloud vendors to get serious about developing cloud technology that addresses financial services' security and compliance needs. Read Global CIO's full article for all of the details.

Cloud Vendors: Are You Listening?
March 05, 2010 @ 12:30 PM | By Gregory MacSweeney
The buzz and hype around cloud computing is practically deafening. However, despite all of the talk, users are still confused about the definition of cloud. But most important for the capital markets: cloud vendors still don't "get it" when it comes to the regulatory and compliance concerns that most firms face on a daily basis. In fact, many capital markets executives feel that cloud vendors don't grasp the the magnitude and severity of their security demands. The results from a recent Wall Street & Technology Cloud Computing Survey (download here) and the following report from the Innovation Councils, a group of senior capital markets technology executives founded by Julio Gomez, echoes the concerns. For the real scoop about what capital markets executives are saying about cloud computing, read Gomez' take from the recent Innovation Council meeting that took place this past weekend ...
