Enabling End-to-End Data Tracing in the Cloud with HP TrustCloud
In my last blog post in the series “Tracing Data for Provenance, Transparency and Accountability in Cloud Computing”, I discussed how data is taking centre stage in cloud computing, and how current system tools are unable to effectively log file accesses and transfers within a Cloud environment.
These two factors call for a data-centric, detective approach which enables data events in the cloud to be captured, recorded and analyzed. We need a solution that enables all cloud stakeholders to monitor data files in the cloud and ensure that they remain where should be.
In this post, I want to introduce our proposed TrustCloud framework for managing the information in the cloud, as well as the granularities of data logs collected.
HP Labs gets smart about energy use – starting with its own main building
Contributed by Simon Firth, freelance technology journalist
Next to every pair of overhead lights in HP Labs’ headquarters office – in a facility known as Building 3 – you’ll find a small white disk, the size of a smoke alarm.
Each disk connects to a dimmer that controls the room’s lighting nearby and inside each disk is a tiny wireless transmitter that connects to a central server. Thanks to these commercially available third-party devices, it’s possible to remotely adjust the lighting at a building-wide scale down to the illumination of a single desk.
