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.

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...

In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Akhil Sahai, VP of Product Manageme...
Cloud computing is commonly described in terms of service-style access: "Infrastructure as a Service" (IaaS), "Platform as a Service" (PaaS), and "Software as a Service" (SaaS) are popular monikers attached to different styles of cloud computing. In the enterprise, however, it is often better to consider an alternative view in which services themselves are part of the infrastructure.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Dr. Rich Wolski, CTO and Co-founder of Eucalyptus Systems I...
