Doug Willoughby, Director of Cloud Computing at CompuWare, offered delegates at Cloud Expo in New York a sneak preview of a new collaborative cloud computingcommunity web portal sponsored by Compuware called CloudSleuth. A beta version of the CloudSleuth is now live, with the site officially launching later in the summer. CloudSleuth uses real data to drive discussions about cloud performance management.

Compuware recently announced that it is a Gold Sponsor of the upcoming Cloud Expo West in Santa Clara November 1-4. Willoughby spoke at the show in a session entitled, "Performance Management for Composite Applications," in which he described how deploying cloud-based, borderless applications impacts performance management. Such borderless applications "seamlessly integrate cloud, web and data center services together, while maintaining the end-user perspective that they are single applications, " according to Willoughby.

"While mission-critical applications will still typically be provided by company-owned resources in the data center, IT departments will increasingly use cloud-based applications and services to more rapidly deliver new functionality to the business," he said. "The success of such efforts will depend on tools that stop the finger-pointing and give IT performance visibility across the enterprise and Internet to cloud services providers."
