Cloud computing refers to computing resources being accessed which are typically owned and operated by a third-party provider on a consolidated basis in Data Center locations. Consumers of cloud computing services purchase computing capacity on-demand and are not generally concerned with the underlying technologies used to achieve the increase in server capability.

SOA-R provides the benefits of cloud computing and secure ad-hoc mobility in a modular, standards-based implementation framework. By exploiting the advantages of a service oriented approach, web services and interfaces specific to the national security business domain are being developed and enhanced for deployment from and interface with a cloud computing infrastructure.

Cloud Computing Market: Terremark Introduces Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery

U.S. Federal Cloud Computing Market Forecast 2010-2015

Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a provider of managed IT infrastructure services, has launched cloud-enabled disaster recovery services. Terremark’s Virtualized Disaster Recovery solution provides disaster recovery solution, which supports a variety of operating systems and enterprise applications and databases, customers protection for their business-critical environments without the cost or complexity of maintaining the server, networking, and facility infrastructures at a secondary site. This service is based on a Terremark’s platform and takes advantage of the company’s highly secure, top-tier data center facilities to deliver reliable, repeatable and predictable solutions that reduce recovery times to a matter of hours at a much lower cost than that of traditional disaster recovery services.

“Our cloud-based disaster recovery offering is more than just a remote-replication solution; it is a complete cloud-based site redirection service that incorporates the enterprise-class services necessary to run IT operations securely in the event of a disaster declaration. Terremark’s physical and information security, trusted personnel, proven solution framework and industry-leading connectivity to global networks make the service a DR/COOP solution our customers can trust when a disaster strikes,” said Tom Mays, Terremark’s Senior Vice President for Advanced Data Solutions.

Terremark’s Virtualized Disaster Recovery, based on NetApp storage and VMware’s vSphere technologies, offers a diverse set of reliable options with array-based, host-based, and application-based replication options, support for physical or virtual source servers, and is suitable for customer environments that range from the most basic to the most sophisticated. On-demand managed security services like intrusion detection, log aggregation, firewall services, and on-demand managed backup services protect customer applications and data at similar or higher levels of security than required in their production environments.
