I’m pleased to announce the availability of another custom InTrust add-in extending the product reach to new types of logs. This add-in continues a series of out of band solutions we make available to the InTrust customers outside of the official product release.
This time it’s the add-in that let’s you collect debug logs generated by Microsoft DNS servers.

This week I attended Cloud for the Enterprise Event event held by Amazon in Los Angeles, CA.
Having gathered around 50 ITPros and execs the event was purposed to show enterprise readiness of Amazon IaS cloud services collectively called AWS. Amazon CTO Dr. Werner Vogels together with a band of product evangelists and lineup of AWS customers did a series of presentations which explained why Amazon is ready to accomodate enterprises:
The common motto that I’m sure stayed in everybody’s head after the event was that Amazon IaS cloud has proven to be scalable, secure and cost efficient platform that will continue to revolutionize the way enterprises do IT today. Although it was hard to persuade myself that the world in its entirety is ready to embrace this new age of computing now I tend to believe that we’re gradually getting to this new order.
Here are a couple of inspiring quotes that I captured from the speakers:
Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO: “We’ve been innovating so fast that customers asked us to hold off”
Steve Riley, Amazon security evangelist: “Can you imagine that one day you’ll wake up in the world without central IT where the only thing that you plug in the office is a Cisco router?”
Jinesh Varia, Amazon technology evangelist, “Design for failures and nothing will fail”
One of the exciting projects I’ve been involved in at Quest is the whole SaaS initiative called Quest OnDemand in general and Event Log Management Service built on top of it and named InTrust OnDemand in particular. InTrust OnDemand was first announced at the PDC in the end of 2009. Now the service is in the limited beta and applications can be submitted through www.quest.com/ondemand.
Dmitry Sotnikov did an excellent job white boarding the OnDemand framework architecture and performing a live demo of it. Inspired by his demo and videos like this I thought it would make sense to record a 5 minute walkthrough of InTrust OnDemand that would give an idea what the service is to those of you awaiting the beta application being approved.
Here is what I came up with after endless attempts to narrate a good enough voice without too much of the accent and background noise. Still leaves much to be desired but hopefully hits the goal. You be the judge.
