CloudVelox eases migration of core business apps to the cloud

It’s easy to get all “cloud first” when you’re talking about new, greenfield applications. But how do you get the core business applications running in your data center – so-called brownfield apps – easily and efficiently migrated to the cloud? That’s the problem startup CloudVelox set out to solve, with the larger mission of helping CIOs build “boundaryless” hybrid data centers. IDG Chief Content Officer John Gallant spoke with CloudVelox CEO Raj Dhingra about how the company has automated the migration of complex, traditional applications to Amazon Web Services (and Microsoft Azure in the near future). Dhingra explained how companies are using CloudVelox’s One Hybrid Cloud platform to not only migrate apps, but to build cloud-based disaster recovery capabilities and simplify a variety of test/dev chores.

Review: Six Python IDEs go to the mat

Of all the metrics you could use to gauge the popularity and success of a language, one surefire factor is the number of development environments available for it. Python’s rise in popularity over the last several years has brought with it a strong wave of IDE support, with tools aimed both at the general programmer and those who use Python for tasks like scientific work and analytical programming.

LiClipse provides precise controls over the runtime environment for Python projects. When you create a new project, you can choose which Python interpreter to associate with it, and what PYTHONPATH to use with specific launch configurations. This is useful if you have different revisions of Python installed side-by-side, and you want to ensure that a given project runs with a specific Python version. You don’t even have to use a Python interpreter that has been registered with the system; it can be an executable in a folder somewhere. The JVM-based Jython and the .Net CLR-based IronPython (which is back under active development) are also supported, along with the stock CPython interpreter. (PyPy is not explicitly supported, but should work as a drop-in replacement for CPython per its stated goals.)
