Windows-based IaaS: Lessons in the Cloud - The Recovery.Gov Story

Session Date and Time: Day 1, March 23, 18.45pm EST (15.45pm West Coast) (45min)
Keywords: windows, iaas.
Authors: Erren Lester, Director of Product Management, Synteractive, Inc.
Abstract: In this session, we will tell the story of how a small, highly motivated team of people leveraged the cloud to develop the highly available, highly performing, data driven site called http://www.recovery.gov. Recovery.Gov is the site used to track the $800B+ stimulus spending aimed at creating or saving jobs during the economic crisis. The redesign, which focused on making detailed recipient data transparent all the way down to the state and local government, was under the supervision of Vice Pres. Joe Biden and had a successful release to the public in only 10 weeks. That's right, 10 weeks from inception to development to deployment of a Microsoft .NET based solution running on the Amazon cloud. And to make it even more interesting, we should add that the entire site is running on SharePoint 2007.

The overall theme of this session will be focused on how to effectively use public IaaS clouds such as Amazon to deliver a best of class Windows-based solution. Many of these lessons learned led to the creation of CloudAdvantage.

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.

Cloud Computing – the next BPM frontier

Session Date and Time: Day 2, March 24 15:15 EST (45 min.)
Keywords: BPM, enterprise cloud computing, IT, SaaS, adoption landscape.
Authors: Rick Carnal and Todd Lane, Appregatta Technologies.
Abstract: The movement from traditional on-premises software to cloud-based applications represents a fundamental shift at the enterprise level. The overall adoption of SaaS/cloud technologies has been gaining significant traction over the past few years. This trend, which has been fueled by early wins in key business functions including CRM, ERP, manufacturing/supply chain, and marketing, is helping to form a new business process management (BPM) paradigm that is changing “pure-play” solutions for the better. The market for BPM is growing rapidly, and IDC forecasts that the BPM market will reach $3 billion in 2013. “Pure-play” SaaS BPM companies are few and far between, and the broader landscape is changing rapidly as the power vendors maneuver to take advantage of the shift. Amidst the evolving market, customers have legitimate questions about BPM adoption and advances in service-oriented architecture (SOA) solutions. What are the main BPM cloud computing benefits? When will (or should) cloud replace, co-exist with, or operate independently from the secure IT infrastructure? While nobody has definitive answers to the many questions surrounding BPM and the shift to the cloud, an understanding of its evolution and observations about the current state of the market can help customers begin to navigate the BPM frontier.

New SaaS Business Models for Success.

Session Date and Time: Day 1, March 23, 3.15pm EST (12.15pm pst) - (45min)
Keywords: Business model, business, enterprise cloud computing, management, SaaS, Sales.
Authors: Kenneth Marshall and Todd Lane, Appregatta Technologies.
Abstract: This session will present ideas on new business models that independent software vendors can implement to succeed in the increasingly commoditized cloud-computing market. As the enterprise software landscape begins its shift from on-premises to on-demand, the business models of SaaS vendors need to change to reflect the dramatically different economics of the industry. Lower price points and margins, lower barriers to market, and much faster speed to market and quality of software from competitors mean that independent software vendors must scale their operations and delivery capabilities to unprecedented levels in order to succeed. Participants will take away ideas that they can apply to their organizations to succeed in SaaS.

How Cloud is working as a disruptor to shake up middleware design.

Session Date & Time: Day 2 March 24 11:15am EST (8:15AM PST) (45min)
Keywords: websphere, grid.
Authors: Lan Vuong, WebSphere Technical Evangelist at IBM.
Abstract: Cloud technology is changing the game. Many of the long held assumptions are being thrown away and this will cause design assumptions which traditional middleware has been built with to be re-examined.

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.

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.

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.
