The Only Enterprise IT Event in 2011
Covering the Entire Scope of the
Cloud Computing Spectrum |
| |
Cloud computing is steadily becoming an integral
part of the enterprise computing environment. |
|
Cloud Expo was announced on February 24, 2007, the day the term "cloud computing" was coined. That same year, the first Cloud Expo took place in New York City with 450 delegates. This coming November 7-10, 2011, Cloud Expo is returning to Santa Clara with more than 5,000 delegates and over 100 sponsors and exhibitors.
"Cloud" has become synonymous with "computing" and "software" in two short years. Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates per year will participate in Cloud Expo worldwide.
The cloud is certainly a compelling alternative to running all applications within a traditional corporate data center. But moving from theory into practice is where things get complicated, and this is where attending a top industry event like Cloud Expo comes in.
No one can take full advantage of cloud computing without first becoming familiar with the latest issues and trends, which is why the organizing principle of the 9th International Cloud Expo November 7-10, 2011, is to ensure - through an intensive four-day schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, and our bustling Expo Floor - that attending delegates leave with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their Enterprise IT endeavors.
Delegates will leave 9th Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding of the entire scope of the cloud computing spectrum, from storage to security.
| Whether you're an enterprise or small to medium business, you'll soon be benefiting from the Cloud. Join your peers in Silicon Valley, November 7-10, and maximize those benefits already in 2011. See you in Santa Clara! |

Articles & Feature Stories By Dan Trevino; Lilac Schoenbeck  Feeling nervous about the cloud? Many CIOs understandably hesitate to send services requiring regulatory compliance to the public cloud. Though not outsourcing such services may seem like a good idea, this approach limits your flexibility in offering the best combination of services to meet business demands. As public cloud services continue to grow in both diversity and quality, IT and the business can’t afford to bypass opportunities offered there and hope to remain competitive. The compliance issue must be addressed, but how? Is it possible to ensure compliance when sending services to the cloud?
Fortunately, the answer is “yes.” By using a strategy based on Business Service Management (BSM), a comprehensive approach and unified platform for running IT, you can extend the BSM processes and solutions that you use to manage your internal infrastructure to the public cloud environment.... Jul. 8, 2011 10:00 AM EDT Reads: 717 | By Roger Strukhoff  Philippines President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has abolished the country's Commission on Information & Communications Technology (CICT), through an executive order. The move has caused widespread consternation among several IT-centric organizations and individuals.
The move also leaves the country as the lone major Southeast Asian country without a formal government entity devoted to IT (or ICT as it's commonly known as outside the US).
The CICT was formed in 2004 by Aquino's successor at an organizational level a notch below that of a federal Department, even though its Secretary served in the President's cabinet. Its proponents have been lobbying for several years to elevate it to Departmental status. Instead, Aquino's order has folded it into the country's Department of Science & Technology (DOST).
A letter was published today by several organizations urging Aquino to rec...

LSI offers a broad portfolio of capabilities and services – including custom and standard product ICs, storage adapters, and advanced software – that are trusted by the world's best-known brands to power leading solutions in the storage and networking markets. Jul. 7, 2011 01:56 PM EDT Reads: 506 | By Liz McMillan  SYS-CON Events announced today that INetU, a leading managed hosting and cloud provider, will exhibit at SYS-CON's 9th International Cloud Expo, which will take place on November 7–10, 2011, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
INetU is a leading managed hosting provider serving customers worldwide. Dedicated to building long-term relationships with its clients, INetU supports many popular Web applications and provides highly reliable hosting for enterprise websites in the Online Retail, Healthcare, Financial Services, SaaS, Web Development, Education, Government, Consulting, and Non-Profit sectors.

Jul. 7, 2011 01:15 PM EDT Reads: 484 | By Pat Romanski  Virtualization and cloud computing promise significant benefits, but this study shows that, without IT automation, few will be able to cash in.
Already, most organizations are using virtual servers and the numbers are growing, and in a few short years many will have hoisted their IT infrastructures into some type of cloud – private, public or a hybrid of the two. Virtualization and cloud computing, which go hand-in-hand, hold a lot of promise. Cost savings. Flexibility. Massive scalability. Faster time-to-market for applications and services. Tighter alignment with business goals. Computing on demand, whenever, wherever and however you need it. But IT’s history reminds us that no technology can deliver bottom-line benefits or, more important, top-line gains, if the technology isn’t harnessed, governed and managed. Jul. 7, 2011 10:45 AM EDT Reads: 656 | By Pat Romanski  Compuware on Wednesday announced that it has acquired privately held dynaTrace software. The $256 million cash acquisition closed on July 1, 2011.
“Organizations today depend on the rapid development and delivery of high-performing applications to drive revenues, customer satisfaction and brand,” said Compuware Chief Executive Officer Bob Paul. “To meet these demands effectively, IT organizations must have visibility into the performance of every transaction, from development, through test and in production. Together, Compuware and dynaTrace APM solutions allow IT to meet business demands for performance and agility through unbeatable insight into the user experience – whether in cloud, complex or traditional environments.” Jul. 7, 2011 06:00 AM EDT Reads: 742 | By Elizabeth White  The Cloud Security Alliance has received a no-cost license for the CloudTrust Protocol (CTP) from CSC. The CTP is being integrated as the fourth pillar of the CSA's cloud Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) stack, which provides a toolkit for enterprises, cloud providers, security solution providers, IT auditors and other key stakeholders to instrument and assess both private and public clouds against industry established best practices, standards and critical compliance requirements. An integrated suite of CSA initiatives – CloudAudit, Cloud Controls Matrix and Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire – the GRC stack is available for free download.
Jim Reavis, director of the non-profit Cloud Security Alliance, noted that the Cloud Trust Protocol provides “an increasingly important step in helping organizations realize the ultimate promise of cloud computing, and is a perfect ... Jul. 7, 2011 04:00 AM EDT Reads: 651 | By Roger Strukhoff  Fujitsu has been field testing an “agricultural cloud” in on mandarin orange groves in Japan since 2008, which uses the company's FGCP/S5, formerly known as its "On-Demand Virtual System Service."
The overall goal of this initiative is to increase productivity, according to Fujitsu. Specific objectives include “enabling workers to complete the proper work tasks at the appropriate times, measuring operational costs, and helping veteran farmers pass down expert knowledge to younger generations,” the company says.
The project employs sensors, smartphones, and PCs within a cloud infrastructure. Field data is stored at Fujitsu datacenters, to be viewed and analyzed. A smartphone app also enables field workers to submit observations and comments about unusual conditions.
There are 5,000 trees in this test; each is assigned an ID number, and several characteristics are then managed, includ... Jul. 7, 2011 01:08 AM EDT Reads: 424 | By Elizabeth White  Financial services tend to be the early adopters of most technology and have forward-thinking developers on staff. However, only 30% of financial services data centers have been virtualized. Meanwhile, those prolific developers are either already using public cloud resources or are trying to. What will be the business impact of avoiding the cloud conversation?
In his general session at Cloud Expo New York, Abiquo CEO Pete Malcolm discussed whether financial services organizations are risking security by avoiding cloud computing. Jul. 6, 2011 03:00 PM EDT Reads: 936 | By Pat Romanski  Many enterprises are struggling to develop a cloud computing strategy. Cloud computing seems like it ought to be a game-changing technology, but so often when the initial proof of concept is finished, it appears to have simply rearranged the deckchairs within a titanic IT department. The problem is we have been trained through decades of IT implementation to focus on certain metrics. Unfortunately, those are the wrong ones. Consequently, when it comes to cloud computing, most of us are playing "small-ball."
To graduate to the big leagues, we need to step back and re-evaluate both the goals and the technologies themselves to find the big win. In his general session at Cloud Expo New York, Dave Roberts, VP of Strategy and Marketing at ServiceMesh, provided some perspective on how leading enterprise cloud adopters are swinging for the fences and running up the score.

Jul. 6, 2011 01:30 PM EDT Reads: 817 | By Liz McMillan  The advantages of using the cloud are apparent, but the approaches to the cloud are still in a heated industry debate. Renting cloud space from a vendor, private clouds, open clouds – just what is the best choice and where is the industry heading? While renting cloud space from a vendor seems easy, it’s difficult to move off these clouds, and it’s especially problematic when you’d like to test another provider’s cloud. Private clouds tie you into a verticalized stack, limiting flexibility and ch... Jul. 6, 2011 10:15 AM EDT Reads: 757 | By Elizabeth White  As cloud application adoption becomes pervasive throughout the enterprise, concerns around cloud data privacy, residency, and security continue to grow.

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.

"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.

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.
Cloud Integration – The Founder & CTO of Dell Boomi, Rick Nucci, will be giving a session at Cloud Expo New York on "Cloud Integration: Best Practices for IT Managers" in which he will cover a set of business and technical "Best Practices" for cloud integration.
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.

Ulitzer's annual "most influential Cloud bloggers" list was announced at Cloud Expo, which drew more delegates than all other Cloud-related events put together worldwide. "The world's 50 most influential Cloud bloggers 2010" list will be announced at the Cloud Expo 2010 East, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center, in New York City, with more than 5,000 expected to attend. Reads: 24,718  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: 138,416  By Elizabeth White Cloud Expo, Inc. announced on Thursday that Cloud Expo 2011 New York, the 8th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, will take place June 6-9, 2011, at the Javits Center in New York City.
Cloud Expo - International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series is the world’s leading Cloud-focused event and is held in New York, Silicon Valley, Prague, Tokyo, and Hong-Kong.
Over 900 corporate sponsors and more than 65,000 industry professionals have participated in Cloud Expo since its inception, tenfold more than all other Cloud-related events put together. Reads: 9,843  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%.
