Cloud forecasting: models, predictions, pitfalls and planning

Session Date and Time: Day 1, March 23, 11:00am EST (8:00am PST) (1hr)
Keywords: cloud planning.
Authors: Neil Ward-Dutton, Research Director at MWD Advisors
Abstract: We’re still at the stage where “Cloud” can mean many things to many people – so it’s in danger of becoming so diluted as a term it’s meaningless. This presentation will provide you with a simple model you can use to help you figure out what different vendors are really offering and how they can help you. Following that we’ll look at how Cloud Computing resources are being used today and by whom, and how this is set to evolve over the next five years. We’ll illustrate the technology and management pitfalls that are awaiting the unwary adopter, and explain a planning approach that will help you get real business value out of the Cloud.

Building Real Life Clouds

Keywords: hardware infrastructure, Intel® Cloud Builder Program.
Authors: Rekha Raghu, Intel Corporation.
Abstract: With the evolution of the cloud, many companies are looking to implement effective cloud computing solutions. Building a cloud can be a daunting process - from designing a hardware infrastructure that will meet the customer demands, to identifying and configuring the cloud management software to run the infrastructure. This session will cover key learnings from the Intel® Cloud Builder Program.

Privacy in the Cloud: Client-Side Encryption and Online Key Management for Cloud-Based Collaboration.

Keywords: collaboration, Encryption, Key Management, Privacy, security.
Authors: David Sussman and Charles Chung and Qiang Lin, PhD, Bits Republic Technologies (Canada).
Abstract: Enterprises of all sizes share, and collaborate on, digital information: both within their organizations, as well as with clients and strategic partners. A variety of technologies exist to meet this need, notably local and Internet-based email servers, FTP servers, third party hosted application services, data storage systems, and peered data networks. Most organizations use a combination of these technologies, but each has limitations. Businesses inevitably find that they face compromises among flexibility, portability, functionality, affordability, and (perhaps most importantly) security.

Are We Ready for Cloud Testing?

Keywords: Load Testing, Cloud Testing tools, Business Service Management, Application Service Monitoring.
Authors: Frank Cohen, CEO of PushToTest.
Abstract: The IT world is headed towards Cloud Computing. Are you ready to move your data, applications, and services into a brand new technology platform?
Moving to the Cloud can be unnecessarily dangerous and risky. Moving to the
Cloud may be an inevitable way to power your organization's IT initiatives
in Rich Internet Applications (RIA,) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA,)
and Business Process Management (BPM.)

Cloud Computing: CapEx Vs OpEx - What is in it for SMBs?

Keywords: SMBs, ROI, TCO, Adoption, Strategy.
Authors: Swarraj Kulkarni, Cognizant.
Abstract: Cloud Computing (CC) models hold promise for Enterprises as well as Small and Medium Size businesses (SMBs) equally. But compared to the Enterprises, SMBs are the ones that can really benefit with the CC offerings based on the CapEx and OpEx parameters. Considering the critical nature of business and budget constraints, SMB decisions on IT infrastructure related investments are influenced more by Operational Expenses than Capital Expenses. And that contributes to the overall ROI and TCO aspects of IT Infrastructure, which influence CIO’s decisions.

Your Cloud, My Cloud, Any Cloud.

Keywords: Standards of cloud computing, Ideal infrastructures of cloud computing.
Authors: Martin Schneider, SugarCRM.
Abstract: The buzz around cloud computing has reached a fever pitch. But for many proponents of cloud computing concepts, the infrastructures supporting their views is closed and fixed. But for enterprises to truly benefit from cloud computing concepts, resources must be portable, readily available and open. Learn how commercial open source, non-affiliated distributed computing providers, and the general move towards standards across the board, will enable the true potential of cloud computing.

Efficient Deployment of Predictive Analytics through Open Standards and Cloud Computing

Session Date & Time: Day 3 March 25 19:30pm EST (4.30PM pst) (45min)
Keywords: Amazon, Cloud Analytics, PMML, Predictive Analytics, SaaS.
Authors: Michael Zeller, Alex Guazzelli and Kostantinos Stathatos, Zementis, Inc.
Abstract: Open standards and cloud computing not only have the power to enable the development of new data mining applications across science and industry, but more importantly they also lower the total cost of ownership by avoiding proprietary issues and incompatibilities among systems. The Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) standard, which allows for data mining models to be easily exchanged between analytic applications, has obtained broad industry support among commercial and open source vendors.

PaaS and IaaS Hybrids: An advanced cloud hosting model that will enable social networking of nodes across heterogeneous cloud infrastructures.

Keywords: IaaS, PaaS, Social Networking, PKI Management and Integration, Cloud Infrastructure Hosting.
Authors: Vaughn McMullin, Chief Architect and Managing Principal for Vanguard.
Abstract: Currently, there are several providers for cloud infrastructure hosting. Additionally there is a cropping of providers that allow an administrator to control several hosted virtualized nodes over a number of hosting environments. The majority of these providers focus on the management of the virtualized node’s physical resources (memory, disk space, processor utilization, etc).
