Cloud Expo 2011 New York $500 Savings here!
Much is talked about the benefits of Cloud Computing in terms of the
provision of IT resources; including cost reduction, increased efficiency,
flexibility, and resilience. But implemented the right way, Cloud Computing
also brings significant operational benefits to the application groups that
consume those IT resources, particularly in the areas of agility, flexibility
and autonomy.
In this session at the 8th International Cloud Expo, Priya Ketkar, Senior
Director Cloud Solutions at Abiquo, will discuss a cloud architecture built
on the concept of a Virtual Enterprise, a next-generation concept for
consumers of Cloud resources that brings them unparalleled levels of
functionality and control - at no risk to the IT infrastructure. This
architecture can manage multiple physical locations, control all aspects of
the virtu... (more)
Cloud Expo 2011 New York $500 Savings here!
There are multiple approaches to cloud computing, but not all are realistic,
and not all will ensure a mission-critical solution. Cost, risk, visibility,
control, security are all key success factors for your virtualization and
cloud computing strategy, but not all providers can deliver these critical
outcomes. IT departments need to deliver rapid success and efficiency;
service providers need to build margin and differentiation; all organizations
need business-driven clouds to enable agility, differentiation, and cost
benefit.

Founder/CTO of PerspecSys Inc., will discuss some of the emerging threats to
your sensitive data in the cloud, and how you can protect yourself while

An interesting look at how automation combined with cloud computing resource
brokering could go very, very wrong
Automation is not a new concept. People – regular old people – have been
using it for years for tasks that require specific timing or reaction to
other actions, like bidding on eBay or other auction-focused sites.
The general concept is pretty simple as it’s just an event-driven system
that automatically performs an action when the specified trigger occurs.
Usually, at least when money is concerned, there’s an upper limit. The
action can’t be completed if the resulting ... (more)

May. 3, 2011 12:59 PM EDT Reads: 351 | By Liz McMillan  Cloud computing has liberated the use of IT resources, making them readily available within the Enterprise at a clear cost per usage. In the transition from static data centers to cloud computing the separation of network, compute and storage resources has become blurred. This has an impact on application performance and the transparency of application delivery. NetDialog has a long history of helping enterprises manage their WAN infrastructure in a business-aware manner.

Reads: 1,713  By Elizabeth White Want to make sense of the hottest new concept in Enterprise IT?
Want to understand in just hours what experts have spent many hundreds of days deciphering?
Cloud computing is a technology that has rapidly evolving peppered with a lot of hype along the way. Customers find it hard to navigate through this and make sense of what aspects of this technology will give them real business benefit.
Cloud Computing Bootcamp, led by our 2011 Bootcamp Instructor Larry Carvalho, is a great way to get a practical understanding of this technology. We offer multiple days of actionable insight into what vendor offerings are currently available and help you comprehend their strategy.
The ever-popular Bootcamp, which is now held regularly around the world, is being held in conjunction with the 8th Cloud Expo, June 6-9, 2011, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY. Reads: 1,352  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in.

Reads: 1,371  By Jeremy Geelan Delegates, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors will be traveling from all over the world to New York this coming June 6-9 to attend 8th International Cloud Expo in New York City, co-located at the Jacob Javits Convention Center with 11th Virtualization Conference & Expo.
Here is an early sneak-peek at some of the many and varied themes and topics due to be discussed in the breakout technical sessions scheduled in the course of the jam-packed four days.
Automation in the Cloud – In a session to be given at Cloud Expo in June by HP Software's Director, Cloud Global Practice, Marc Wilsonson, Wilkinson will provide best practices from IT experts to equip attendees with the knowledge to build automated, repeatable processes that provide control, manageability and assurance for cloud success.

Enterprise Cloud Computing – Having talked about Enterprise Cloud Computing as "The Infrastructure's Ultimate Revenge" in 2009, the CIO of the National Reconnaissance Office, Jill Tummler Singer, will ask if government organizations and corporations are riding a real wave of IT change to the future...or whether both government and corporate IT is caught up in a water spout so far off the shore that no one will feel its impact?  By Pat Romanski There is one constant in data centers: Application groups always need more. Until recently, apps have been at the mercy of IT operations to feed their need.
In his Day Three Keynote at the 8th International Cloud Expo, Pete Malcolm will discuss how with the advent of public cloud offerings, apps can bypass ops entirely and get the resources they need with just a few clicks and a credit card. What does this mean for the future of IT ops?
Pete Malcolm is CEO of Abiquo, a leading vendor of Cloud infrastructure management solutions. Described by SYS-CON's Jeremy Geelan as "a beacon of light amid the murky fog surrounding Cloud Computing", Malcolm is the inventor of the term "Resource Cloud", a concept which provides complete separation between physical infrastructure providers and virtual enterprise consumers, with substantial benefits to both. Malcolm was previously founder and CTO of Orchestria, Benchmark Capital's first European Entrepreneur-in-Residence, and a Senior Vice President with CA, Inc.

Reads: 23,175  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

Reads: 6,921  By Jeremy Geelan "New infrastructure and operations technologies such as cloud services and virtualization ... were selected by CIOs the most often and are the top-two technologies for 2011," said Mark McDonald, group vice president and head of research for Gartner Executive Programs, as the results were announced of the 2011 CIO Agenda survey by Gartner Executive Programs (EXP).
The worldwide CIO survey was conducted by Gartner EXP from September to December 2010 and represents CIO budget plans reported at that time. According to the results, CIOs expect to adopt new cloud services much faster than originally expected. Currently, 3% of CIOs have the majority of IT running in the cloud or on SaaS technologies, but over the next four years CIOs expect this number to increase to 43%.
