High Performance Oracle 11g in the Amazon Cloud

Keywords: Amazon, Oracle, EC2, performance, AWS.
Authors: Jeremiah Wilton, Blue Gecko, Inc.
Abstract: How can cloud computing apply to traditional enterprise-class services like Oracle ? In this presentaion, using live examples and demonstrations, we show the various ways to manage and deploy computing resources for Oracle on Amazon EC2. Cloud Computing is a new architecture with unique deployment, performance and management challenges. We will explore how those deploying Oracle on the Amazon Cloud can overcome the challenges and create high-performance Oracle services using Amazon’s dynamic, scalable, professionally-managed architecture. Get ready for a world free of capital hardware expenditures and high, new project deployment costs. Get ready for a world where running Enterprise-class Oracle services costs pennies a day.

How to migrate to and in between cloud services without compromising service continuity.

Session Date and Time: Day 1/2, March 23/24, 19.30pm/11.15am EST (16.30/8.30pm West Coast) (45min)
Keywords: cloud service, migration strategy, quality of services (QoS), cloud performance, cloud application.
Authors: Ido Safruti, Cotendo Inc.
Abstract: If you have held back on migrating business-critical applications into the cloud, or you are considering to move services back into your datacenter, or to another cloud provider this session is for you.
Your services are live, end-users are on them - "hoping for the best" is not your strategy. You can't afford to put the business at risk. How can you ensure a seamless and reliable transition without impacting the end-users?

Formalization of Nano Cloud Computing Architectures Through Hybridized Grid Computing, Cluster Computing and Distributed Computing.

Keywords: Nano Cloud Computing, Distributed Computing, Grid Computing, Cluster Computing.
Authors: Herminder Singh and Babul Bansal, Zelite Solutions.
Abstract: Nano Cloud Computing is a combination of Grid, Cluster and Distributed [Computing] which help us to make a Cloud with abstract view for the End User. Through this technology we can encapsulate all the hard core physical resources into very small Cloud which is known as Nano Cloud. Nano Cloud Computing is not a hybrid Cloud because it is totally different from it i.e. Hybrid Cloud Computing, which is a combination of Public and Private Clouds. Nano Cloud Computing is an abstract view of all the physical and conceptual resources computing. Here we are making a Cloud as a Nano Cloud because the term Cloud Computing is a very wider term as far as the level of Research is concerned and also because it is combination of N-Computing technologies.

Navigating the "FOG" of Cloud computing.

Date & Time: Day 3, March 25, 5:30pm EST (2:30pm PST) (45 minutes)
Keywords: BPOS, Azure, Microsoft.
Authors: Greg Dodge, Enterprise Consulting for Cloud Computing and Mark Alexander, IS Consulting.
Abstract: Over the past few years the various cloud services have been 'rolling in', and now that Microsoft and Google have decided to do battle in the Cloud they are changing the game for everyone. It's not that either company will revolutionanize this market or develop that next killer application, what they bring to the table is low cost utility computing. As companies are screaming to lower their IT costs the offerings in the cloud seem enticing soley based upon price, but don't let that be the only deciding factor.

Making the Cloud Real, Making Cloud-Enabled IT Management and Security Real Simple.

Keywords: IT services, IT asset management, collective intelligence, patch management, VM sprawl.
Authors: Mark Shavlik, Shavlik Technologies.
Abstract: Today, enterprise IT departments are resistant to cloud-based IT services for their entire network. While that’s understandable (this early in the game there are issues with trust, visibility, and control), that resistance is futile Time constraints and economic factors will continue to drive the search for simpler and cheaper alternatives. Delivering IT services from the cloud isn’t coming, it’s here. And it’s force to be reckoned with.

Managing Data Storage in the Public Cloud

Keywords: Public Clouds, Multi-tenancy solutions, cloud security and privacy concerns.
Authors: Vincent Franceschini, Hitachi Data Systems and Wayne Adams, EMC and Mark Carlson, Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Marty Foltyn, SNIA Cloud Storage Initiative.
Abstract: Public cloud solutions are the most well-known examples of cloud storage. In a public cloud
implementation, an organization accesses third-party resources (like Amazon S3, Iron Mountain, and Google etc.) on an as-needed basis, without the requirement to invest in additional internal infrastructure.

Cloud Security: What Organizations Need to Know.

Keywords: Cloud Security, Workflows, Workloads.
Authors: Dipto Chakravarty, VP of Novell.
Abstract: Many people believe you can take traditional identity and security practices, throw them in a cloud environment, and expect everything to work just fine. Not so! Businesses taking advantage of cloud computing should utilize cloud security approaches that support sharing of roles, policies, and workflows, rather than merely providing single sign-on.

Reliable cloud computing: Web 2.0 Performance Testing and Scalability

Session Date and Time: Day 2, March 24 2010, 18:00pm EST (3.00PM PST) (45min)
Keywords: Web 2.0, Performance Testing, Scalability, Spike Load Test.
Authors: Neil Ashizawa, HP Software & Solutions.
Abstract: The health and availability of applications running in the cloud is a key concern for organizations today, especially during busy gift-giving holidays such as Father’s Day and Graduation. Both large and mid-sized enterprises need to prepare their web applications for sudden increases in web site traffic to prevent downtime and lost revenue. Why do IT execs and QA managers believe that they can execute a successful spike load test by simply starting a traditional load test, and then ramping up the number of virtual users until they have a large spike load test? The answer is cost and time constraints. HP’s Neil Ashizawa will address how organizations, both large and small, can deliver large load testing to ensure the global-class scale of their applications quickly and cost effectively, even in the most extreme situations.

Data Anonymizers: One Approach to Privacy in Cloud Computing.

Keywords: Security, Privacy, Anonymizer, SaaS.
Authors: Sergio Loureiro and Matthias Jung, secludit(France).
Abstract: Web-applications and SaaS (Software as a Service) become more popular not only for end-users, but also for enterprises. As a consequence, mission critical and potentially confidential data is stored on the premises of service providers. Privacy of data has therefore become a major concern for companies that consider to use web-services. But given the lack of control over the infrastructure (hardware, software, databases), what are the options besides trusting the service provider and paying attention to the service level agreements (SLA)? Is it possible and technically feasible to manage privacy within the web?

GTO Cloud

Session Date and Time: Day 2, March 24, 9.45am EST (6.45am PST) (45min)
Keywords: Cloud Solutions Lab, Cognizant.
Authors: Senthil Ramaswamy S, Cognizant Technology Solutions.
Abstract: cloud computing conference 2010 Cognizant Global Technology Office presents GTO Cloud, a Hybrid Cloud Platform built and used in Cognizant Global Technology Labs. The cloud lab is utilized for building Cloud Industry Solutions, Proof of Concepts and Technologies. The Global technology labs infrastructure consists of HP, IBM and SUN servers supporting Windows, Linux, AIX and Solaris Operating systems. The cloud offers infrastructure and platform as a service leveraging multiple virtualization technologies such as Oracle VM, VMWare etc with a Service Abstraction Layer.

The platform can seamlessly integrate with public clouds such as Amazon EC2.GTO Cloud brings greater efficiency in managing the operations as a homogenous entity rather than as disparate silos. GTO cloud provides self service, anywhere IT through auto provisioning, on demand compute and storage, distributed caching, high performance batch and orchestration and SaaS accelerators in a single integrated platform. Business solutions are hosted in a multi tenant fashion in the cloud and demonstrated to customers
