Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. But if it is already a commercial reality, why does Richard Stallman call it "worse than stupidity"? What, if any, are the new economic models enabled by Cloud Computing, and how can a service operator decide whether to move to the cloud or stay in a private datacenter? What changes should be made to the design of future applications software, infrastructure software, and hardware to match the needs and opportunities of Cloud Computing? All these questions may leave you wondering, but at the Cloud Computing Conference and Expo, Rob Walters, Willie Tejada, Terry Woloszyn, Barry X Lynn, Adam Blum and Greg O’Connor will be sure to help you to better understand whether Enterprise-Level Cloud Computing is a far-off dream or a present reality.

The time has finally come for collaboration in the cloud. Multiple offerings and tools are now readily available for your organization to migrate your on-premise collaborative applications (e.g., e-mail, instant messaging, and portals) to the Cloud. Implementation and use of these tools alone, though, will not guarantee your organization a successful migration. Jeffrey Miller will guarantee you that when you leave this session you will be ready to move forward in the successful evaluation and migration of their collaborative applications.
With the push to maximize IT amid the ever shrinking IT budgets, one of the “holy grails” of IT is to use the cloud service model to reduce the TCO for their endpoints whether it is desktops, laptops, or smart mobile phones. Danny Kim will go in-depth into the architecture and deployment of how FullArmor, an innovative vendor that's developed one of the first commercial Windows Azure cloud service, provided full endpoint management, security, and software deployments through the cloud for hundreds of thousands of endpoints in the emerging markets at a fraction of the cost of traditional models.
Cloud testing is a new way of establishing reliability, leveraging the Cloud to drive traffic to websites – to measure, analyze and assure performance at web-scale. It gives companies confidence that applications, whether in the Cloud or in a data center, can withstand unexpected surges in traffic. Optimizing responsiveness and the user experience before going into production or when changes occur is critical. Tom Lounibos, Dan Barstow and Mike Kavis know that all the attendees will leave their session with an understanding of cloud testing and how it is used today to ensure website reliability and performance.
Cloud computing offers tremendous advantages, providing unparalleled scalability and flexibility to deliver some of business’ most important applications. According to Gene Golovinsky, many businesses are reluctant to adopt cloud-based solutions out of concern for the privacy and security of their data. Unwarranted fear, misguided uncertainty and general uneasiness surround the issue, preventing many organizations from adopting cloud-based solutions. Misconceptions about the inherent security of cloud-based solutions will be explored and methods of overcoming those concerns will be addressed.
At the Cloud Computing Conference and Expo, Peter Coffee’s session will discuss how cloud computing should not merely relocate the familiar pains, delays, and costs of conventional application development.

Too often organizations have deployed virtual infrastructure tactically to reduce server sprawl or speed application deployments. Without a higher level view of organizational priorities, bad habits persist; unused snapshots and zombie VMs become more the rule than the exception causing budgets to continue their upward spiral. As organizations begin to view virtualization strategically and consider its role in cloud infrastructure, it is important to consider the success factors of this foundational element. In his session at Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Adam Hawley, Director of Product Management for Oracle VM, will examine virtualization considerations such as workload availability, performance, and integration with enterprise systems and resources that are necessary to improve operational efficiency and service delivery.
Has there ever been a more exciting time to be a small software vendor? Or a larger market opportunity for service providers? Or greater flexibility for customers? Cloud is more than a shift in technology architecture; it's a shift in the full business lifecycle of technology providers and consumers. In his session at Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Chris Arangio, Product Manager in the Cloud Infrastructure Group at EMC, will discuss the impact of the cloud including the challenges and opportunities for service providers, technology implementers, ISVs and their customers. It will highlight the importance of an ecosystem as a critical enabler and long term business opportunity, and describe key considerations for cloud service consumers and other participants in this ecosystem when developing a cloud strategy.
