Companies are in need of new IT experts: cloud computing architects. These technology professionals are adept at weaving together multiple cloud solutions to form a cohesive whole, one that allows businesses to tap into new data sets and maximize resources. But are these architects really the foundation of a new IT order and can midsize companies afford this future?
Whole in One?
Research firm Gartner notes that one critical misconception about cloud computing is that the technology is a singular "phenomenon," according to Data Center Knowledge. More accurately, it is an amalgamation of solutions, including public, private and hybrid clouds, along with purpose-built tools that take advantage of cloud resources while avoiding single-use functions. The complete IT structure of a business often includes multiple cloud and non-cloud services working in unison to tackle complex projects.
Enter the cloud computing architect, an IT expert trained to merge these unique components and create an environment of success and simplicity. Forbes points to initiatives such as analytic performance and workload flexibility that can benefit from consolidating disparate resources into a single purpose. It is no surprise, then, that tech and retail giants alike are now hiring these architects and paying big money. The salaries of cloud computing architects range from $90,000 to $170,000.
Building the Midsize Business
For midsize businesses, this kind of spend may not be possible; indeed, smaller firms often employ only one or two full-time IT professionals to manage corporate technology. In some cases, the push to bring in local help in an effort to manage off-site resources appears counterintuitive. Cloud solutions are often sold as problem solvers, not creators.
So how do companies build their own future in a world where cloud and in-house technologies must interact and overlap? They'll need to start from the ground up and build into a joint effort. Instead of paying an architect to build the future, midsize businesses have the opportunity to raise their own ceiling using three cornerstones: expectations, evaluation and evolution. Here's what these three criteria entail:
Cloud computing architects have a bright future in the technology industry. Even so, midsize companies can fashion the same building blocks through collaboration and the realization that the cloud is more than the sum of its parts.
This post was brought to you by IBM for Midsize Business. Dedicated to providing businesses with expertise, solutions and tools that are specific to small and midsized companies, the Midsize Business program provides businesses with the materials and knowledge they need to become engines of a smarter planet.

Cloud Computing Architects: The Foundation of a New IT Order?
SCRANTON Richard Gage, representing Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, questioned the official story behind the collapse of the World Trade Center skyscrapers during a multimedia presentation at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel Saturday.
Gage says the American Institute of Architects conducted extensive research on the collapse of the buildings in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. He claims the group was left with a lot of questions.
However, the American Institute of Architects has made it clear in the past that it has no ties to Gage or his group.
We dont have any relationship with his organization whatsoever, Scott Frank, head of media relations for the AIA, told Architect Magazine in 2012.
Gages presentation, titled 9/11: Blueprint for Truth- Re-Examining the Destruction of the 3 World Center Skyscrapers, pointed to what he says may be a startling truth about what happened that day and how it was not properly reported.
More than 2,300 architects and engineers believe pre-planted explosives caused the destruction, according to Gage. The American Institute of Architects has more than 83,000 members, according to its website.
Building 7, which was 47 stories high and did not take an impact from one of the hijacked planes, fell into its own footprint in seven seconds representing the third worst structural failure in modern history, according to Gage.
There is evidence of explosive controlled demolition, he claimed.
Gage said the events that followed the 9/11 attacks are as scary as the results of the attacks themselves.
The event of 9/11 precipitated two major wars, two million people were killed (including) six thousand US soldiers, he said. Plus $4.5 trillion were spent on the global war on terror and many civil liberties were also lost. Any of us can be arrested, held indefinitely or tortured, he added.

Using shipping containers as a retail, restaurant or residential building material isn't an entirely new concept, but these metal boxes are being used in a high-profile way with Friday's opening of The Yard, a retail and beer garden space in San Francisco, across from AT&T Park.
The shipping containers, installed in Lot A with views of the ballpark, house all of the businesses that comprise The Yard. Within the space is an Anchor Steam beer garden, bleachers to eat food from Off the Grid food trucks and retail spaces for North Face and Made in SF, among others.

Local business Transport Products Unlimited had a hand in the project, supplying half of the containers being used in this unique place. Along with container company American Transportation Services out of Oakland, the two companies reworked 13 shipping containers for use in The Yard, modifying the shells before taking the products to Urban Bloc in San Leandro, where the final interiors were installed.
Marth Trela, CEO of Urban Bloc, said that the use of shipping containers is finally gaining some traction.
"Commercial container construction has been popular in Europe and Asia for awhile now, but it's just starting here in the United States," Trela said. "The United States is really just starting to embrace it, but it's seemingly taking off really well. People just have this natural inclination to these kind of social food/shopping experiences and so we're excited because there seems to be tremendous interest in using empty lots and vacant areas ... and it's not as difficult as traditional buildings to set something up."
Transport Products Unlimited president Randy Larsen has been working on container projects for decades, first seeing modified use of shipping containers back in the '80s. The Yard is one of the largest commercial spaces Larsen has worked on, but for him, the appeal of using shipping containers is apparent.
"It's more cost-effective because your construction is going to last longer than if you built it out of wood," Larsen said. "Getting into some of the areas we can deliver, you'd have a hard time hauling the lumber and stepping in there ... It's a turnkey (project): When (the container) leaves here, we set it on the ground and basically all they have to do is hook power up to it and water ... and they're good to go."
Beyond the durability of using shipping containers as a building material, it is also a way to reuse materials that oftentimes sits around collecting dust, according to Jerry Jameson, CIO of Urban Bloc.
"In the places where the shipping containers originate, there's mountains and mountains and mountains of them that are just sitting idle," Jameson said. "And so it's really an opportunity to just reuse them. And so instead of having to start from scratch and build things and use new products, basically what we've done is taken almost thrown away objects and turn them into productive things again."

GREEN The City of Green is partnering with the Cleveland Restoration Societys (CRS) Heritage Home Program to offer free technical advice and low-interest loans to homeowners in Green looking to make renovations and repairs to older homes.
City officials will host an informational meeting to present more details about the Heritage Home Program March 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Administration Building, 1755 Town Park Blvd.
According to city officials, through the CRS, the Heritage Home Program offers free technical assistance and advice to homeowners whose homes are more than 40 years old. CRS officials will evaluate any home that qualifies, offer suggestions on which repairs should be made and answer questions about home repair concerns.
According to city officials, in addition to the free evaluations, the Heritage Home Program also offers low-interest loans through KeyBank. The interest rate on these loans is a fixed rate of 2 percent for up to 10 years. Loans are available for interior as well as exterior repairs, maintenance, additions and modernizations. The Heritage Home Loan Program is based on the equity in the home. An After-Rehabilitation Loan product also is available. There are no out-of-pocket costs for the loan, no closing cost and no points, and interest paid from the loan is tax deductible, according to city officials.
The City of Green is one of only two cities in Summit County to offer the Heritage Home Program to its residents, according to city of officials.

As a home ages, successive owners put their imprints on it. And after time, the house evolves into a structure that only hints at the original.
This circa 1790 brick townhouse in Old Town Alexandria was built by a shipping merchant, sold to the owner of one of the citys oldest continuously run businesses, transformed into barracks during the Civil War, nearly destroyed by a devastating fire, turned into a multifamily dwelling and restored to a single-family home. Along the way, the Federal-style house acquired an archeological designation from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
Denys Peter Myers perhaps put it best when writing an architectural history of the home in 1996: The house is now, after all, a palimpsest so to speak a fascinating record of successive tastes. (Myers, an architectural historian who died in 2003, was one of the Monuments Men who rescued art stolen by the Nazis during World War II.)
The homes original owner was Benjamin Shreve, a shipping merchant who sold exotic goods out of his warehouse on Prince Street. He eventually moved to Salem, Mass., and his son sold the house to Edward Stabler.
Besides being a prominent member of the Quaker community and an avid abolitionist, Stabler founded the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary in 1792.
The shop has been preserved as a museum on Fairfax Street.
Stablers son-in-law, Richard Huck, expanded the home in 1854. Eight years later, the home served as barracks for Union forces during the Civil War and quarters for escaped slaves.
During this time, a fire on the second floor nearly destroyed the home. The burnt building was auctioned off and eventually divided into five apartments.
In 1959, Charles and Lucy Woods bought the home and spent a year returning it to its former glory. For their efforts, they were awarded the Alexandria Associations award of merit for architectural restoration.
Wilfred Smith, the founding president of the Alexandria Historical Society, and his wife, Elizabeth, moved into the home after the Woods and continued the restoration, adding the Georgian moldings and cornices

A DERELICT stately home steeped in history and set in one of the most romantic corners of the North-East is for sale for more than half-a-million pounds.
Sockburn Hall comes complete with a ruined Saxon church, and a wonderful legend about a dragon being slain nearby.
The hall, in a secluded loop of the River Tees near Neasham, was built in 1834 on the site of a medieval manor house which was once reputedly the home of Sir John Conyers, the knight who killed the Sockburn Worm.
The Grade II* listed hall has been in poor repair for decades, although in recent years volunteers have cleared the overgrown grounds and English Heritage has provided a grant to make the roof watertight.
We are given to understand that the structure of the building is pretty sound but it needs a complete makeover, said Sarah Geary, of the Sockburn Hall Project. It has not really been modernised since it was built, and has still got most of its original features. It is essentially 1834, so theres huge potential.
It is being sold by the Gatheral family which have owned it since the mid-1950s.
It is no secret that it has fallen into disrepair for all sorts of reasons and action needed to be taken, said Mrs Geary. The grounds had become completely overgrown and almost sinister so in 2007, my daughter, Laura, started the project and with some absolutely amazing volunteers, they have transformed the site, giving back to us the skeleton of what it used to be like.
We have now taken it as far as we can. We are not in a position to fund the restoration and repairs, and we would hate to see it fall into disrepair again.
The hall with the Grade I listed church and Grade II listed stableblock, or coach-house, is being marketed by Jackston-Stops and Staff of York, with offers in excess of 500,000 being invited. The brochure says: Both the hall and the coach house are in a very poor condition and require extensive works to bring them back to their former glory.
Nick Talbot, of the agents, said: We are marketing it as a residential property, for someone wanting the most fantastic private country house in a wonderful spot, with a stable block with great potential and an old church which is a historic building.
