"The ROI we've experienced since we began working with CloudBees has been phenomenal. The CloudBees Platform has enabled us to scale dramatically, as it frees up our developers to do what they do best -- build applications to meet customer needs," said Matthew Fischer, VP of Engineering, Bullhorn. "We're committed to providing a high level of service to Bullhorn customers; utilizing the CloudBees Platform we are consistently meeting or exceeding our customers' expectations."

Since utilizing the CloudBees Platform, Bullhorn has delivered 60 customized, cloud-based applications. CloudBees allows Bullhorn's development team to focus on satisfying the specific needs of their customers, rather than allocating valuable time and resources to solving infrastructure maintenance issues that often come with cloud deployments.

Other value Bullhorn has realized from streamlining application development and cloud deployment using the CloudBees Platform include:

"Bullhorn is the type of customer we covet -- a cutting-edge business understanding the significant cost and operational efficiencies which can be gained from deployment in the cloud," said Sacha Labourey, CEO and founder, CloudBees. "Today, Java developers spend far too much time on tasks that are completely outside of their workflow. Bullhorn's services team can now concentrate on delivering quality customer applications, rather than being bogged down in issues that ordinarily plague application deployments."

Got old hard drives? Turn them into cloud servers.

June 29, 2012 | Author: admin

GCN LAB REVIEWS

When an old system is replaced in the office, usually one of two things happens to it. The IT guys might keep it around as a spare unit, or they will cannibalize it for certain components before giving it the final send off.

Since many computer technologies have changed within the last five years, most components are not worth keeping from much older systems. However, hard drives, while gettingmore capaciousand faster, have used the same interface for about eight years now. The industry sticking with Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) for this long means that you are more likely to find use for the hard drive from an old system than any other type of component.

Of course, since new systems already come with hard drives, the IT storage room tends to fill up with the old ones. These SATA drives technically are usable, so most IT people are loathe to simply throw them away. But it would be nice to find a use for one or two of them, say, as a cloud server, for instance.

Akitio Cloud Hybrid

Pros: Can access from anywhere, use any drive.

Cons: Tools required for setup, interface less than intuitive.

Performance: A

Ease of Use: B+

Cloud 9 browser-based development environment gets tricked out

June 27, 2012 | Author: admin

Editing JavaScript in the Cloud 9 IDE.

The Cloud 9 Web-based development platform has launched a major update. The new version brings several noteworthy new features like collaborative code editing and offline support. The service has also been enhanced with broader support for running code on the Cloud 9 servers.

Cloud 9 aims to give developers a complete browser-based integrated development environment (IDE). The tool includes project management and version control functionality as well as a sophisticated interactive code editor. Its literally a hosted IDE that loads in a browser tab.

It is designed to integrate tightly with source code repository sites GitHub and BitBucket, making it easy for developers to clone, edit, and push code without ever having to download it to their local filesystem. The concept is ambitious, but delivering an implementation that is fully competitive with native development tooling on the desktop is obviously a major challenge.

For some kinds of projects, Cloud 9 is surprisingly close to achieving feature parity with conventional development environments. It is already well-suited for Node.js programming, an area that was a major focus for the company. The latest improvements will help to make it more viable for additional languages and development frameworks.

The editing experience is largely what you would expect to get in a programming text editor, offering features like syntax highlighting and optional support for Vim key bindings. But Cloud 9 aspires to be more than just an editor. The goal is to allow users to run their code on the server itself so that they can conduct testing during development without having to deploy to a separate test environment.

Cloud 9 is capable of executing Node.js applications on the server side, with full support for breakpoint-based debugging in the Cloud 9 editor. The new version of Cloud 9 has been extended to support running PHP and Ruby code in addition to Node.js projects.

We discussed the new functionality with Ruben Daniels, one of the cofounders of Cloud 9. In order to support server-side code execution, he explained, the Cloud 9 backend was rebuilt so that users would have their own isolated virtualized environment on the server. The new version of Cloud 9 also has a built-in terminal interface that allows users to get full shell access to the remote VM.

In addition to improved support for code execution, Cloud 9 has also gained a number of other new features. The latest version supports real-time collaborative editing in the browserallowing multiple developers to edit the same file at the same time. The experience is a bit like collaborative editing in tools like Google Docs or SubEthaEdit.

Another major new feature is support for offline editing, which allows the user to continue working without an Internet connection. Unlike most of the functionality in Cloud 9, this particular feature requires users to install and run a special client application on their computer that can handle synchronization between the local filesystem and the cloudexisting offline storage mechanisms in browsersaren'tquite up to the task yet.

Cybercriminals Build Massive Banking Fraud System in the Cloud

June 27, 2012 | Author: admin

Cybercriminals have built a cloud-based fraud system that targeted wealthy people and commercial accounts in bilking primarily European banks of possibly billions of dollars, security vendors say.

The international ring targeted accounts with an average of $300,000 to $600,000, and attempted to transfer as much as $130,000 to bogus business accounts, Intel-owned McAfee said Tuesday. While McAfee did not know how much money was actually stolen, the vendor estimates that it ranged from $75 million to $2.5 billion.

The ring targeted banks in Europe and then expanded to Latin America and more recently the United States, where it had just gotten started, Dave Marcus, director of advanced research and threat intelligence at McAfee Labs, said. McAfee, which investigated the ring's operation over the last six months with Guardian Analytics, is working with law enforcement agencies to shut down the fraudsters.

What is unique about the fraud was the amount of automation used, a feat made possible through the use of cloud computing, Marcus said. The combination of remote servers and an intimate knowledge of banking transaction systems made it possible to automate the theft, rather than simply stealing user names and passwords and having someone manually transfer money from a computer.

"The automated nature of these attacks really require that kind of server/cloud functionality," Marcus said. "It can't all take place on the host [computer]. All of the logic and all of the sophistication really does reside on that [cloud] server."

McAfee first discovered the fraudsters operating in Italy, and later followed them to Germany, the Netherlands and other countries in Europe. In March, the ring was found operating in Colombia and one server was later traced to the United States. "It looks like it [the ring] just started making the transition to the U.S.," Marcus said.

The fraud started with an email cleverly disguised to look like it came from the recipient's bank. Clicking on a link in the message downloaded the malware that would later use web-injects to steal the information needed to perform fund transfers. Web-injects are fake pages or form fields launched while a person is on an online banking site.'

McAfee, which dubbed the investigation "Operation High Roller" because of the wealthy victims, found 60 servers processing thousands of attempted thefts. Most of the transfers were for less than $10,000, with the highest reaching $130,000.

The fraudsters used common Zeus and SpyEye malware platforms as the base of the malicious code, which was customized for each targeted bank. Once the malware stole the needed information, transfers were performed via the control servers, which were even able to obtain the information needed to bypass smartcard readers often used in Europe for two-factor authentication. "We have not seen this level of sophistication before," Marcus said.

Besides the use of the cloud, the fraudsters had an impressive knowledge of how banking transaction systems worked. McAfee wasn't able to determine how the criminals gained that level of understanding. "You can't make a fraudulent transaction look like a valid transaction, if you don't know what you're doing," Marcus said. "And these guys know what they're doing."
