Skandagiri - I can’t believe…

‘I can’t believe there is such an amazing place so close to Bangalore,’ said a friend when I showed the photographs. It was getting predictable – show pictures of Skandagiri to anyone, tell them it is just 60km from Bangalore and wait for them to gasp and react with those words – ‘I can’t believe…

Skandagiri is 60km from Bangalore and is located along the same range as Nandi Hills. To reach Skandagiri, drive from Bangalore to Chikballapur(55km) on NH7 where you have to turn left and drive for another 5km. The trek begins from a small temple called Papagni Matha located at Kalwarahalli village. Once you are in Chikballapur ask for directions to Papagni Matha to make sure you are not lost.

The trek to the peak is steep at sections and one needs to be reasonably fit. It takes two to three hours to get to the top depending on your fitness. You can hire guides from Kalwarahalli village at the base of Skandagiri. Forest department charges an entry fee of Rs.15 on weekends.

Chrome OS

Google announced a new upcoming operating system, Chrome OS. Chrome is also the name of the Web browser that Google introduced in September 2008. Google’s ambition, reflected in the use of the name Chrome, is to create an operating system that is indistinguishable from the browser. In web jargon, in fact, “chrome” refers to the graphic framework of a navigation browser: the address bar, the “back” button, the bookmarks, the search box.

Google’s new operating system is a cloud-based OS. This means that it will do away with the normal files, directories, and applications running on the user’s computer. Instead, Chrome OS will function on Google’s cloud computing infrastructure: applications will be delivered over the internet and your files will be saved in your personal space in the cloud.





Chrome OS’ cloud computing system represents a radical new direction for personal computing. Today’s major operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, and Linux) are all based on the workstation model introduced in the 1980s. They store all the programs selected by the user and the data and files created through those programs on a user’s hard drive.

Chrome OS should take up less than a gigabyte of your computer’s hard drive, and the operating system will boot in seconds. It won’t have a “Start” button: you will essentially access the system through the Google home page, where you will be able to include links to your favorite Internet applications. After you login to Chrome OS with your Google username and password, Google Docs will be there to let you edit and store documents, and Gmail will take care of your e-mail.

The idea of cloud computing applied to personal computing has evolved with the increasing popularity of applications like Facebook, Gmail, and YouTube. When you use these applications, your data is not stored in your computer; instead, the application is provided to you over the internet and the data generated via that application is stored in the provider’s data center - it is “in the cloud.” Data is only copied to your computer’s cache memory to allow the user to access it and view it.

Google Chrome OS will use your computer’s hard drive as a cache, so you will be able to work offline for some periods of time. However, if for any reason your computer is malfunctioning, for example it is corrupted by a virus, you will not lose any work since your data is stored in the cloud.

Cloud computing

Cloud computing is an increasingly broad topic that encompasses everything from Google Apps to data center services to virtualization to software-, infrastructure- and platform-as-a service. Technology executives are increasingly interested in cloud computing as a way to save money. Nevertheless, cloud adoption remains in the single digits amid security concerns. Rest assured that cloud computing is a game changer. Key players include: IBM, HP, Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Salesforce.com, NetSuite, VMware as well as dozens of others.




Cloud computing holds real promise for enterprises, SMBs, as well as the ISVs and individual developers serving them. To help organizations realize the promise and avoid the perils of cloud computing, rPath’s Cloud Computing Adoption Model provides a pragmatic, actionable, step-by-step framework for achieving measurable benefits now, while laying the foundation for the strategic benefits of a cloud infrastructure over time. The five levels of cloud computing adoption are shown and explained below.

Level 1: Virtualization. The first level of cloud adoption employs hypervisor-based infrastructure and application virtualization technologies for seamless portability of applications and shared server infrastructure.

Level 2: Cloud Experimentation. Virtualization is taken to a cloud model, either internally or externally, based on controlled and bounded deployments utilizing the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for compute capacity and as the reference architecture.

Level 3: Cloud Foundations. Governance, controls, procedures, policies, and best practices begin to form around the development and deployment of cloud applications. Initially, level 3 efforts will focus on internal, non-mission critical applications.

Level 4: Cloud Advancement. Governance foundations allow organizations to scale up the volume of cloud applications through broad-based deployments in the cloud.

Level 5: Cloud Actualization. Dynamic workload balancing across multiple utility clouds. Applications are distributed based on cloud capacity, cost, proximity to user and other criteria.
