The promise of cloud computing is that of virtually unlimited computing power
that expands and contracts with the needs of the user. As the number of
virtual servers increase, it's unlikely that IT will be able to keep up
unless they have tools that can scale and automate the management of these
dynamic systems.
In his session at the 8th International Cloud Expo, Mark Hinkle, Vice
President of Community at Cloud.com, will cover four disciplines of systems
management: patching and provisioning, configuration, orchestration and
monitoring. Specific recommendations will be made as to which open source
tools are best suited for managing scalable cloud infrastructure and can be
combined to automate management tasks as open source toolchains.

issues in what he calls The New Age of Virtualization.

declares Litkey.
"Virtual servers are hard to identify and track so gathering evidence of
compliance is much more laborious and raw editing efforts increase
significantly. Everything known about ensuring physical server compliance,
such as configuration, access control and security is still rele... (more)

There are several important factors for successful cloud deployment. While
infrastructure - whether public, private or hybrid models - tends to dominate
the discussion, applications are critical to establishing value in the cloud.
Too often, organizations underestimate the effort required to deploy and
manage cloud applications, thus experiencing costly delays that negate the
cloud's benefits.
In his session at the 8th International Cloud Expo, Marc Wilkinson, Director,
Cloud Global Practice at HP Enterprise Business, will discuss both the engine
and autopilot at the heart of cloud environments. He will also 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.
