It’s been an interesting week in the cloud arena. Nirvanix, a high-profile enterprise cloud storage startup, abruptly informed partners that they have until October 15 to move customer data off its systems. Nirvanix didn’t provide any official explanation, but it’s plain to see that the company has fallen victim to the highly competitive cloud computing climate. By the look of things, Microsoft SharePoint may soon follow suit.

Enterprise collaboration provider Huddle recently rolled out a content connector that allows enterprises to transfer their SharePoint libraries onto its cloud platform without having to invest in a manual migration. The tool sports a drag and drop interface that gives users a choice between moving all of their content to the cloud or layering Huddle over SharePoint to provide workers with access to social collaboration functions.

Mobile development specialist Telerik is also working to make the cloud more accessible for its Microsoft users. The company announced on Thursday that it updated its Icenium service to support Visual Studio, the software titan’s widely-used development platform. The integration enables .NET developers to create and distribute cross-platform apps for iOS and Android devices.

Like Telerik, Red Hat is going after developers in a move to expand its stake of the cloud market. The company is augmenting its Openshift PaaS suite with new JBoss services that aim to make it easier for enterprises to integrate cloud apps with back-office systems and disparate data silos.

The Openshift upgrade introduces a process management offering that includes business activity monitoring and process simulation, an on-demand integration toolkit, and a mobile push notification function. The latter two are already available in developer preview, and the BPM service is set to launch in a few months.
