Support St. Jude and the Fight Against Childhood Cancer

Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick), September 17, 2012May 18, 2020

For some time I’ve been looking for a charity that Define the Cloud could support.  I have no desire to try and monetize my traffic through ads and clutter the content.  I also get plenty of benefits from running the site and wouldn’t ask for help with that.  That being said I do generate decent traffic and would like to use that traffic to give back.  I definitely don’t do enough personally to give back and this is a start.  I’ve finally settled on a charity I can stand behind.  Being a lover of the under dog and a hater of cancer I couldn’t pick a charity I’d rather support than St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (www.stjude.org.)  With that, the only banner you’ll ever see on Define The Cloud is that of St. Jude.  If you’ like my content and prefer free and ad free, you’ve got it.  If instead you’d like to support the site, do so by supporting St. Jude.  If you prefer donating time to donating money you can find plenty of ways to do so here: http://www.stjude.org/volunteers.

In addition to your donations Define the Cloud will match dollar for dollar all donations made by 10/31/2012 up to $1,000.00 USD (we’re on a shoe string budget here.)  If you donate please leave a comment here with the amount so that I can track.  I’m trusting the honor system on this one.

June 23, 2013May 18, 2020

As networks have grown, the industry has sought better ways in which to manage them at scale.

Private Cloud Lessons You Can’t Learn From Amazon, Google, Etc

March 13, 2012May 18, 2020

When discussing private cloud, questions often come up about how the big boys are doing it; Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. The thinking is that the large scale data centers they are running can teach us lessons about smaller scale infrastructure for private clouds, which, on the surface, seems to make…
