Reducing the cost of a brain scan and analysis for the emergency room can help to provide more valuable and effective tools for the patient at an affordable cost. In most cases in the United States an actual brain scan for simple or medium medical incidents is not included into the toolbox or process for emergency room diagnostics. If these "deep dive" tools and medical experts i.e brain surgeon where available as-a-service on an as needed basis, we can improve our healthcare system while reducing cost. The benefit of providing an MRI as a Service describes the advantages for developed countries and how to improve the current process. The developing countries will leapfrog our costly medical processes and go straight for the new low cost technology. Amazon DevPay uses UtilityStatus

Bluehouse, who is that? If you havent heard of it you will soon. 40 million users will be added with an acquisition for Outblaze a Hong Kong based software-as-a-service platform for email service assets. IBM Announces Intent to Acquire Outblaze's E-Mail Service Assets
Healthcare Part IIBM Chief: IT Investment Will Create Jobs First hand deploying monitoring as a service solutions for the government at the centers for medicare and medicade I can tell you how utility computing would improve productivity, teamwork and most important cost savings for healthcare applications. For my small businesses trademark "Monitoring-as-a-Serivce" I have explained on Wikipedia the value of paying for software in actual elapsed CPU time. [link] "The mission for Monitoring as a Service is to provided the utility computing consumer with high value computing services at an affordable cost. This will not only streamline the cost structure for the consumer industry but also for government and non profit organizations as well. For instance, medical institutions can access high value utility computing services on an as needed basis to save thier customer money and life." The patent developed for my company UtilityStatus to monitor software usage for utility computing software based in actual elapsed CPU time has been designed for saving the customer money and in terms of healthcare this ultimatly means saving human pain and life. Growing up in the silicon valley, california and seeing the world being lead in technology there, then studying information systems in Germany where they have successfully implemented healthcare for all citizens of the country I can see healthcare being successful in the United States using the right technology. Working as an intern making $500/month in Germany I went to a doctor for $10. Those $10 bucks covered all out-of-pocket medical expenses for 3 months. It has been a great run working in silicon valley and growing a small business in the United States. This month on the 20th I will be moving back to the Germany to continue and help with monitoring-as-a-service solutions. Happy New Year!

Is OSS losing value?Open source software benefits are great especially considering the initial investment of the software procurement. Sure there are challengers of open source software offering enterprise support services and cost benefit analysis proving value of a commercial product. Does open source software still have value in cloud computing environments and utility computing infrastructures? Open source software provides support from large groups of internet developers that in some cases are larger than commercial software vendors. Advantages for larger and growing open source developer groups for products also include quick problem resolution at zero cost. In most cases just post a question on an open source developer board and recieve a response within minutes. Please note the quality of the response can vary. A few months ago the open source guru said cloud computing is "Worse Than Stupidity" [link]. The value for open source software is deminishing with utility computing and cloud computing since services are hosted in software vendor data centers rather than on premise. There is no need for IT departments to download and maintain open source software with cloud computing and utility computing. For me Utility Computing offers an opprotunity for developers as well as small businesses to consume and develop high value utilty computing services at an affordable cost. Examples for this include healthcare providers, governments and low income communities to access high quaility medical utility computing processes at an affordable cost. Just my 2 cents. JM Amazon SimpleDB uses UtilityStatusSource: [link] MarketWatch 12/01/08 [link] Machine Utilization Example Amazon SimpleDB measures the machine utilization of each request and charges based on the amount of machine capacity used to complete the particular request (QUERY, GET, PUT, etc.), normalized to the hourly capacity of a circa 2007 1.7 GHz Xeon processor. Machine utilization is driven by the amount of data (# of attributes, length of attributes) processed by each request. A GET operation that retrieves 256 attributes will use more resources than a GET that retrieves only 1 attribute. A multi-predicate QUERY that examines 100,000 attributes will cost more than a single predicate query that examines 250. Source: [link] In the response message for each request, Amazon SimpleDB returns a field called Box Usage. Box Usage is the measure of machine resources consumed by each request. It does not include bandwidth or storage. Box usage is reported as the portion of a machine hour used to complete a particular request. The cost of an individual request is Box Usage (expressed in hours) * $0.14 per Amazon SimpleDB Machine hour. [link] The cost of all your requests is the sum of Box Usage (expressed in hours) * $0.14. For example, if over the course of a month, the sum of the Box Usage for your requests uses the equivalent of one 1.7 GHz Xeon processor for 9 hours, your charge will be: 9 hours * $0.14 per Amazon SimpleDB Machine hour = $1.26. [link] Nice, metering in actual elapsed CPU time. How else are you going to measure software usage ? More info: [link] Case Study - Private Cloud - Monitoring-as-a-Service (TM)It is a story of rise and fall for the stock market as you know these days, ok ok more fall than rise. Does what goes up must go down also apply in the other direction as well? I think so, it can only get better from here. There was a system outage on Google Finance ticker for GOOG on September 30th 2008, the stock went to zero for 20 minutes, see slides below. GOOG stock holders could'nt see what was happening. This is another example of why application management is so important. Here are a few snapshots of the slides I will be presenting tomorrow in San Francisco, CA. Your welcome to join here is the invitation. Date: Nov 20th, 2008 Are you still monitoring your apps using log files or building custom JMX monitoring apps? You got to see this presentation.

Healthcare can be very expensive, looking at the high quality medical processes requried to process patients on demand in the emergency room. Getting access to different departments to diagnose a health incident generates the costly use of medical tools, computers, processes and people. Can Software-as-a-Service / Monitoring-as-a-Service provide value and cost savings for medical processes?
