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 Maureen O'Gara  Microsoft is going to let users move some of their licensed Microsoft server software to Amazon’s cloud under its newfangled Microsoft License Mobility with Software Assurance program.
It says they can move Windows Server application licenses between their on-premises environment and AWS.
In a blog Microsoft goes off on an Azure-ignoring riff saying, “This is a game changer because now you can get industry leading enterprise-grade software from Microsoft and run them on the highly reliable, scalable on-demand infrastructure from AWS – it’s the best of both worlds….Imagine the possibilities!” Jul. 17, 2011 09:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,063 | By Elizabeth White  With virtualized workloads proliferating widely, the nature of management and optimization tools will need to undergo a dramatic change. Platforms and best practices that perform intelligent scheduling of workloads across virtual machines, as well as diligent provisioning and de-provisioning of VMs to control VM sprawl, will be crucial to ensure maximum performance and utilization of infrastructure.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, James Thomason, Chief Architect at Gale Technologies, will describe approaches for scheduling and optimization within and across clouds, including how to allocate workloads across any type of cloud, private or public; ensure that workloads have guaranteed resource; provision and configure workloads as reservations become current; and tear them down when reservations expire – thus preventing VM sprawl. Jul. 15, 2011 11:00 AM EDT Reads: 791 | By Pat Romanski  Data motility is the concept that data in the cloud is not just mobile, but can move on its own without administrators’ knowledge or consent. Enterprise agreements with cloud vendors specify that information placed in the cloud will be available when a company wants it – but not where it is living from one moment to the next.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Dave Asprey, VP of Cloud Security at Trend Micro, will address the important concerns that this “always available from somewhere” data presents to security administrators, and how – or even if – they can comply with new data privacy and processing laws when data is not location specific. Jul. 15, 2011 09:45 AM EDT Reads: 795 | By Maureen O'Gara  IBM Thursday said that it’s opening two new cloud data centers in Japan, one to deliver its SmartCloud services – that’s its public cloud – and the other dedicated to delivering LotusLive, its cloud collaboration widgetry.
The new facilities mean it’s added to the sites in Singapore, Germany, Canada and the United States delivering SmartCloud services and its 13 global cloud labs, seven of which are in Asia-Pacific, specifically in China, India, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore.
The fact that they’re in Asia is important to IBM’s five-year growth plan and the $7 billion bogey it set for cloud revenues.
IBM figures its jumping into the public cloud market in Japan is a positive post-disaster business story. Jul. 15, 2011 08:45 AM EDT Reads: 826 | By Salvatore Genovese  SoftLayer Technologies on Thursday announced that the control procedures and compliance for its 11 data centers have been verified in a Service Organization Control Report (SOC 1) prepared under the terms of the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) by independent auditing firm Weaver.
“We’re committed to operating our data centers and facilities at a level that meets or exceeds the highest industry and regulatory standards,” said Steve Kinman, Vice President of Customer Relations for SoftLayer. “We're proud to be one of the first in the hosting industry to complete a SSAE 16 review, assuring our customers that they can count on us for best practices in all that we do.”
SSAE 16, developed by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), replaces the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70), whi... Jul. 15, 2011 07:00 AM EDT Reads: 713 | By Liz McMillan  A recent survey finds that with increasing reliance on cloud computing, IT executives are uncertain about the role of IT operations but also plan to invest in the internal staff and tools needed to manage service delivery in the cloud. Conducted by independent firm Gatepoint Research and commissioned by ScienceLogic Inc., the cloud computing survey canvassed the opinions of more than 100 IT directors and above in mid-to-large enterprises in North America.
"These survey results are not surprising considering the daunting task of managing application performance across a mix of data center and cloud environments, and organizations are trying to determine how the cloud will impact both internal operations as well as service delivery," said Steve Harriman, senior vice president of marketing for ScienceLogic. "The role of IT operations could diminish as cloud services become easily accessibl... Jul. 15, 2011 05:00 AM EDT Reads: 888 | By Elizabeth White  Google and Microsoft are in a battle for the hearts and minds of corporations worldwide. You and your company can benefit from this battle...if you are Cloud-Ready.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Jason Lieblich, Founder and CEO of Exoprise Systems, will discuss how you can arm your organization with the right data, tools and systems to manage this transition to the cloud. This battle will define the computing landscape for decades to come. Be prepared! Jul. 14, 2011 10:00 AM EDT Reads: 952 | By Elizabeth White  The July 29 deadline for the Call for Papers for the 9th International Cloud Expo, to be held November 7-10, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, is fast approaching.
As enterprises in ever-increasing numbers start to evaluate cloud computing, many are assessing which applications can run in public clouds, which should run in a private cloud, and how to ensure that applications will be portable from one to another. Since there will be many different kinds of clouds, another issue is what kind of cloud resources should you use?
How easy will it be to migrate to a public or private cloud, and how easy will it be to move between them? If you entrust your data to a Cloud Computing vendor, how will the vendor secure your data and segregate it from that of other customers? Will they encrypt the data both in motion and at rest? What key management policies will they employ... Jul. 14, 2011 06:45 AM EDT Reads: 3,130 | By Salvatore Genovese  Magic Software, a global provider of mobile, cloud-based, and on-premise application and business integration platforms, on Thursday announced a new partnership with Netential, one of the UK's leading providers of managed enterprise computing infrastructure and services for the Oracle JD Edwards (JDE) community. As part of the agreement, Netential will provide Magic Software's iBOLT within its portfolio of solutions for its clients.
iBOLT enables Netential to deliver powerful cloud-based services that improve its clients' business productivity by cost-effectively integrating JDE with all their existing applications, databases, and third-party systems, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications. This enhancement will enable them to access and process data much faster, while streamlining business processes. Jul. 14, 2011 02:13 AM EDT Reads: 554 | By Pat Romanski  Performance problems are one of the most cited concerns about the cloud. But is it really the cloud or the application? What does performance mean anyway when you can scale to thousands of servers?
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Michael Kopp, Technology Strategist at dynaTrace Software, will discuss why the traditional means of performance management and troubleshooting no longer work and how this affects everything. Most important, we will look at how to identify the root cause of performance problems in such dynamic environments. Finally we will explain how to assess and manage performance when capacity is no longer the issue. Jul. 13, 2011 11:30 AM EDT Reads: 971 |

Reads: 1,545  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: 3,028  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: 9,752  By Elizabeth White Is there still a distinction between public, private and hybrid cloud?
In this fast-moving high-level CTO Power Panel held at the 8th International Cloud Expo at the Javits Center in New York City, June 6-9, 2011, Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan discusses this and other topics such as cloud security and innovation in the cloud with Rich Wolski, CTO and Co-founder of Eucalyptus Systems; Vineet Tyagi, Head of Impetus Labs at Impetus Technologies; Bill Zack, Architect Evangelist with Microsoft; Scott Chasin, CTO at McAfee Content & Cloud; Mark Hinkle, Vice President of Community at Cloud.com; Logan McLeod, Director of Cloud Strategy at Dell; and Zach Smith, COO at Voxel. Reads: 1,517  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.
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. Reads: 2,180  By Carmen Gonzalez Ulitzer.com announced "the World's 30 most influential Cloud bloggers," who collectively generated more than 24 million Ulitzer page views. 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: 25,040  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: 139,842  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: 10,326  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%.
