Industry Discussion Panel moderated by Jeremy Geelan, Cloud Expo Conference Chair
All the main buzzwords that have been making the rounds over past few years - ASP, SaaS, SOA, Virtualization, Grid Computing, Enterprise 2.0, etc. - have somehow been transmogrified into the single term "Cloud Computing."
We all know how Amazon took the lead in introducing AWS (Amazon Web Services) way back in 2003, then brought in Storage as a Service concept via S3 (Simple Shared Storage). It also introduced EC2 (Elastic Computing Cloud), where Infrastructure as a Service became viable. But what about the other 249 players in the fast-emerging Cloud ecosystem? What are their specialties? What are the newcomers offering? And what about older vendors like IBM? How do the “pure cloud” vendors like Google, Amazon, and SalesForce.com differ from everyone else? Who's doing what? How's it all going? What are the lingering unresolved issues - and who is working on solving them? Above all, this being the final session of an intense two-day program of content: Where's It All Headed???

CloudICT is conducting the world's largest global cloud computing adoption survey. Our research is aimed at, and being supported by global enterprise executives who are the key decision makers at the CEO, CIO, CTO, company director and senior management level. The valubale information, which these key participants are providing, is enabling CloudICT to provide vendor independent research and analysis of the current status of cloud computing activity globally.
Some of the areas we will discuss include:
- What are organizations doing, or planning to do, with cloud computing?
- What types of cloud computing environments are being used, considered and/or ignored?
- What countries, industries are leading and lagging adoption?
- What are the major drivers and expectations?

A combination of interoperability and portability is the Holy Grail of Cloud computing, but is nearly impossible to achieve without standards. Adopting standards fosters competition and innovation in any market, but the Cloud computing market is held back because standards, especially hypervisor formats, are not universally used.
This session will discuss Cloud computing standards, emphasizing how interoperability and package delivery is possible using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). OVF is an open, secure, portable, efficient and extensible format for the packaging and distribution of software to be run in virtual machines. Abiquo applies OVF to effectively manage multiple datacenters in one platform, making it possible to define and replicate deployments in different infrastructures. OVF makes vendor to vendor conversions quick and easy.

Cloud Computing is driving a fundamental shift in the way organizations build, deploy and use applications, and it’s raising expectations on how quickly and cost-effectively new IT functionality can be made available to the business. And even though the delivery chain for these “borderless applications” now crosses organizational and geographic boundaries, users will still expect the applications to perform well, and they will hold IT accountable if they don’t. For its part, IT is faced with managing an increasingly complex and diverse delivery chain, consisting of maybe dozens of service and content providers spread around the world.
The challenge for IT is to meet the business expectation of faster delivery of new functionality, while at the same time maintaining end-to-end visibility and control of application performance and availability across an inter-dependent, but independent, network of service providers.
In this session, Compuware will provide some real-world insight into how companies are successfully addressing this challenge, including details of how they can get objective, real-time data on the performance and availability of their prospective cloud service providers to assist them in their decision-making process.”

As you move your data and applications into the cloud, how do you avoid being locked in to a proprietary API or service? And how do you write applications that work with multiple clouds? In this session we’ll show you how to make your cloud applications as open and vendor-independent as possible. We’ll start with some design patterns, then look at a couple of open-source projects that are keeping the cloud open.
Most cloud services require application developers to think about arcane details instead of business logic. Simple Cloud and Apache libcloud simplify development for the cloud, letting programmers focus on what matters. An open-source project sponsored by Zend, GoGrid, IBM, Microsoft, Nirvanix and Rackspace, Simple Cloud lets you write one application that uses storage, database and queue services from multiple cloud vendors, despite the differences in their APIs. We'll also take a look at Apache libcloud, an open-source project that works with VM images and instances from many cloud providers. This session will show you how to write elegant, flexible, business-oriented code that insulates your application from the vendor-specific APIs and wire formats underneath.
Cloud computing is possible because of the virtualization and commoditization of IT infrastructures; to make the most of it, we’ll need the right level of standardization as well.

| Power Panel: Is Cloud the New Normal for Enterprise IT? |
|
|
|
|
|

There seems to be little doubt that lightweight infrastructure is The Shape of Things to Come, for enterprise IT? When, though? Are we talking 2011 or more like 2020, for major enterprises anyway?
Should mid-sized firms also outsource IT to the cloud, or only larger ones? What real-world use cases come most immediately to mind, of companies that have successfully used the Cloud to accelerate speed to value?
It's not much good claiming the Cloud is all-powerful unless you can do load testing and measure performance: how do companies in the Cloud era keep track of performance? How does the Cloud alters the risk and compliance profile for companies?

It has been said that the three main barriers preventing some CIOs from moving some of their on-premise computing to the Cloud are Security, security, security. Has that changed, now that we're into the third year (at least!) of The Cloud?
Before choosing any vendor, questions certainly abound, such as: How does the vendor plan on securing your data and segregating the data from other customers? Is the data encrypted both in motion and at rest and what key management policies do they employ? What access control do they enforce for the application and physical security? What third-party groups audit their security? What compliance or other certifications do they possess? What is their disaster recovery plan and how does data security figure into those plans? What visibility do you have into the process? What is their network topology? Are they consistent with best practice tiered networking?
So...in 2010 how secure is Cloud Computing?

As much as information technology has changed in the last 10 years, the next decade promises even more significant change. And as cloud technology becomes more prevalent, IT enterprises will be driven to reconsider the status quo around just about everything we know, including Physical Infrastructure, Virtualization, Automation, Service Management, and Security.
Cloud technology and virtualization of virtually everything means rethinking the economic models around physical infrastructure, the emergence of a new class of providers as well as a greater degree of standardization around virtualized OS & Middleware configurations. There are increasing expectations from consumers of data center services - instant provisioning & de-provisioning, just for openers. And with a new generation of workers that expect anytime, anywhere access to corporate data, securing your data outside of your data center walls has become a greater business imperative albeit far more difficult.
In this session you will learn what's needed to consider to ensure your enterprise’s foray into cloud computing successfully and securely meets the needs of your enterprise. .

It’ll pay 32 cents a year, a return of roughly 2.7% based on the stock’s closing price of $11.86 on Monday. The expense will cost the company about $560 million a year.
Dell figures it’s got the cash flow, which has generated $4.9 billion in the last four quarters, to buy back stock and pay the dividend despite its nasty earnings and revenue slip last quarter.

Reads: 33,537  What Is Cloud Computing? By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon. Reads: 184,816  Cloud Expo, Inc.

The only thing growing faster than enterprise data these days is the landscape of big data tools. These tools, which are designed to help organizations turn big data into opportunities, are gaining deeper insight into massive volumes of information. A recent Gartner report predicts that enterprise data will increase by 650% over the next five years, which means that the time is now for IT decision makers to determine which big data tools are the best - and most cost-effective - for their organization.
