Lowering the Barrier for Deploying Disaster Recovery: Email Continuity and Secure Hosting in the Cloud.

Keywords: Amazon, Oracle, EC2, performance, AWS.
Authors: Christina Del Villar and Manish Kalia, Teneros.
Abstract: Site level outages represent a significant threat to messaging infrastructure and email continuity. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and fires can do significant damage requiring weeks or even months for infrastructure repair. Human error can cause similar breaks in power and network infrastructure, impacting messaging systems for long periods. Effects from messaging outages can threaten the health of the business itself causing loss of revenue, reputation and customers, and can even lead to bankruptcy.

Impact of Cloud Computing on e-discovery

Session Date & Time: Day 2, March 24, 8.30pm EST (5.30pm West Coast) (45min)
Keywords: e-discovery.
Authors: Shawn Waggoner, Director, Archiving and eDiscovery, Terremark.
Abstract: Cloud Computing has a range of meanings and used to describe everything from Software as a Service (SaaS) to Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas). Regardless of which aspect you are describing, the cloud is here and companies are moving quickly to this new technology. Private and Public sector organizations are migrating their data and information to the cloud. Legal regulations that require keeping certain records versus delegating other types of data to cloud services create confusion in the e-discovery process. Terremark’s presentation will address the commonplace conundrums for today’s organizations considering cloud:

  • What does this mean for e-discovery?
  • Who is responsible for the data?
  • How do you find information on these platforms?
  • How is the data preserved for litigation holds?

Will the Cloud Kill the PBX? How Cloud Computing and Mobile Clouds are Changing the Face of Telecom.

Keywords: telecommunications, mobile cloud computing
Authors: Vlad Shmunis, Co-founder and CEO of RingCentral.
Abstract: Cloud computing is dramatically reshaping the traditional telecom industry – providing voice and communications solutions that meet today’s mobile and distributed work model at a fraction of the cost of legacy phone systems. The once tried and true PBX and traditional hosted PBX models are being put to the test, as cloud-based services like Google Voice for consumers and RingCentral for businesses are quickly becoming mainstream – and giving carriers a serious run for their money.

Cross-Company Scrum in the Cloud

Session Date and Time: Day 1, March 23, 5pm EST (2pm West Coast) (45min)
Keywords: Agile, Scrum, Cross-Company, Trusted, Collaboration.
Authors: Andreas Dangl, Fabasoft.
Abstract: In this presentation we show how an agile enterprise not only runs internal development processes using Scrum but also its collaboration with customers and suppliers based on cross-company Scrum teams and an agile collaboration platform in the cloud. We will highlight challenges and scenarios of a large, real-world Scrum projects.
The Cross-Company Scrum platform is provided as a free cloud service.

Data Conditioning – A New Approach to Storage

Keywords: data center, Data conditioning, Storage I/O, Reduce costs.
Authors: Jon Flower, Adaptec.
Abstract: Demanding data centers, particularly cloud computing data centers, are constantly looking for ways to more intelligently route, optimize and protect data as it moves through the I/O path. The process of "Data Conditioning" does just that. This presentation will discuss how data center managers, system integrators, and storage and server OEMs can seamlessly integrate Data Conditioning best practices into all leading systems, storage, operating systems, and applications to reduce IT costs, reduce power consumption and minimize maintenance costs and physical space requirements, all with maximum I/O performance.

Design patterns for hybrid cloud

Keywords: Cloud best practices, hybrid cloud, iaas, PaaS, SaaS.
Authors: Ricky Ho, Adobe Technology Lab.
Abstract: Cloud computing has a great potential to transform traditional IT environment to a new form. There are public clouds and private cloud technologies but we found that a hybrid model is even more compelling as it gives us a lot of flexibility and rooms to optimize our application design.

In my presentation, I’ll share the lessons we learned over the past year in establishing a hybrid cloud environment. We start by identifying a set of characteristics that make an application a good cloud candidate, followed by looking at how some of the cloud characteristic, such as high latency, eventual consistency, elasticity affect your application design. We conclude with a set of best practice / design patterns to get around such issues.

Enterprise Data Center Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.

Keywords: stateless, workload mobility, Disaster recovery.
Authors: Mark Thiele and Dave Roberts, ServiceMesh.
Abstract: More than 80% of the world-wide data center capacity resides in the hands of enterprises. In spite of this vast investment in technology, most enterprises manage their data center assets less than optimally. For instance, many enterprises only start to build data centers as they start to exhaust space in existing data centers, but forget that data center construction typically has a 2-year lead time. Other enterprises forget to budget reserve funds to pay for data center upgrades and maintenance and are shocked when the bills come due unexpected. Finally, many enterprises pay far more for data center construction that is required for the majority of their applications, leading to less efficient capital allocation. In this session, noted data center expert, Mark Thiele, will describe in detail these mistakes and others and how enterprises can avoid them.

Cloud Engineering – A SOA-based Approach to Effectively Developing Real-world Cloud Solutions

Session Date & Time: Day 2 March 24 - 15.15am EST (12.15AM PST) (45min)
Keywords: cloud computing, engineering, reference architecture, case study, taxonomy
Authors: Tony Shan, Keane Inc.
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive engineering approach for effective development of real-world cloud solutions. The term of cloud engineering is coined and the integral components are articulated in details. The state of the art of cloud computing is assessed, which leads to the investigation of the key aspects – what, why, when, and how. A methodical approach is designed, composed of Foundation, Applicability, Strategization, Transformation roadmapping, Reference architecture, Operationalization, Unification, Tooling, and Ecosystem (FAST ROUTE).

Plan, Build & Run Your Enterprise Cloud

Keywords: Cloud Adoption Timelines, Cloud Budgets, Cloud computing risk and reward perspectives
Authors: Alex Rosen and Hjalmer Danielson, MomentumSI.
Abstract: Organizations who are investigating cloud computing will benefit from this practical session which outlines the major steps and decisions they will face. The session covers the cloud computing journey from inception to being a fully operational model. Several dimensions are covered including, private cloud enablement, integrating with public clouds, utilizing cloud governance software, modifying I.T. processes and implementing the associated change management program.
