Is WAN Optimization Still Relevant in a Cloudy World?


Session Date: March 24, 2010
Session Time: 11.15am EST (8.15am PST)
Keywords: WAN, private clouds, Networking, Latency.
Authors: Apurva Dave, Vice President Product Marketing and Alliances, Riverbed Technology.
Abstract: Poor application performance due to WAN latency has negatively impacted distributed enterprises and organizations for years. Now this same issue threatens companies who are moving to create private, public or hybrid cloud computing networks. As companies determine which applications are appropriate to run in the cloud, WAN optimization can help -- not only in breaking performance bottlenecks, but also in reducing the number of applications that would otherwise need to be rewritten. WAN optimization capabilities are being extended to address a broad range of private and public cloud computing challenges. The speaker will examine virtual WAN optimization and advancements in branch office optimization that will enable, and further drive, dependence on cloud computing.

Optimizing the Performance of Cloud Computing.


Session Date: March 24, 2010
Session Time: 9.45am EST (6.45am PST)
Keywords: WAN, private clouds.
Authors: Apurva Dave, Vice President Product Marketing and Alliances
Riverbed Technology.
Abstract: As organizations move more to private and public cloud computing models, application performance over the Wide Area Network continues to be a source of pain. In fact, two of the top five top barriers to cloud computing growth include data transfer bottlenecks (latency) and application performance unpredictability. Many enterprises today are realizing that they already have private clouds, or are a short step away from reorganizing their assets into a private cloud format. Private clouds offer the benefits of the public cloud, while enabling enterprises to retain full application performance visibility and control.

The evolution of the cloud.

Keywords: infrastructure, management, automation, dynamic, work-load driven.
Authors: Katherine Garlinghouse and Michael Jackson, Adaptive Computing.
Abstract: As application ecosystems in the cloud become more complex so will the need for a more diverse and flexible infrastructure to support workloads that are not well suited to virtualized systems or the typical dual socket x86 platforms and blades which make up almost 75% of "industry standard" server shipments today. The evolution of the cloud from a simple, semi-automated project space to a next generation workload driven system where complete, fully-functional compute environments will need to be dynamically created, managed, expanded and contracted as demand changes over time and finally returned to the resource pool automatically will cause a fundamental change for cloud service providers whether private or public.

Virtualization of Data Center is first Step: Challenges and pitfalls.

Keywords: Virtual Data Center, Applications on Demand, Capex, Opex, Security, High Availability, Disaster Recovery.
SLA.
Authors: Ram Kumar, Persistent Inc. and Anurag Jain, Gigzee Inc and Atul Srivastava, Nexius Inc.
Abstract: We all know the cloud is the current day panacea for Enterprise Data Center Cost reduction. It started with outsourced IT that cut internal IT costs by a third but left everything else intact. Virtualization is a step in the delivery of Enterprise Cloud and dynamic applications on demand, and a first big step towards the imagined panacea in the cloud. Virtualization also has the transforming effect of moving Capex to Opex. Multiple vendors have come up with virtualization solutions, but the challenges to operate and maintain a Virtual Data Center remain.

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.

Cloud Security and Privileged Identities in the Cloud

Keywords: security, privileged identities, password management, identity management.
Authors: Philip Lieberman, founder and CEO of Lieberman Software.
Abstract:
Major ISPs and cloud vendors have begun the difficult task of integrating security solutions that are capable of managing the
large number of privileged identities that make up their infrastructure (hardware, VM hosts, VM Image OS, application stacks). How can we trust in the cloud if the vendors of cloud-based infrastructure neglect to implement both process and technology to assure that segregation of duties is enforced as well as the management of identities between customer and cloud vendor? What about security auditing of cloud-based solutions in a multi-tenancy environment?

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?

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.

Successful Management in a Public Cloud Computing Environment

Keywords: Public Cloud Computing, WAN service provider.
Authors: Randy Rowland, GM of Hosting Services, Terremark.
Abstract: Public cloud computing services can be difficult to manage as they have at least three separate management domains: the enterprise, the WAN service provider and the various cloud computing service providers. Successful management requires that thorough, consistent management data be gathered from each of the domains. Public cloud management also requires methods that span the various management domains. This session will identify what you can and must do to manage this multifaceted technology.

Enterprise Private Cloud Computing

Keywords: Enterprise, iaas, NETWORKS, PaaS, private clouds.
Authors: Geoff Brown, m2mi.
Abstract: Silicon Valley, NASA based Machine-To-Machine Intelligence (m2mi) Corporation an early entrant in Cloud Computing, present the latest intelligence from the realm of Enterprise Private Cloud Computing.
