Presentation: "Virtualization will be the Operating System of the Cloud"
Time:
Monday 14:40 - 15:30
Location:
Lille Sal
Abstract: Cloud computing is expected to be the next big deployment platform for
software solutions. In this presentation, we will first discuss the main
properties of cloud computing, such as pay for use, scalability and
elasticity, and give an overview of three main kinds of cloud
personalities: application, development, and infrastructure clouds. We
will then go into details on the infrastructure cloud personality, which
is characterized by providing a set of virtual machine instances. This
is the most flexible form of cloud computing allowing all types of
software to be run, from elastic Web 2.0 applications to legacy Windows
applications to remote desktops.
The cloud paradigm provides a new set of challenges and opportunities
for software architects. Moving to cloud computing means much more than
your software is running in a virtual machine in a remote location. As a
software architect, you will literally have an unlimited supply of
hardware that can be acquired and discarded at near-zero cost and in
near instant time. This enables an entire new set of software
development practices. We will introduce the notion of smart VM
packaging, location-independent computing, and dynamic runtime
integration, where the software is packaged with policies that governs
aspects such as performance, availability, security, backup, and much
more. Finally, we will discuss the Open Virtualization Format industry
standard initiative, providing a common way of packaging software for
the cloud.
Presentation: "Cloud Panel Discussion"
Time:
Monday 15:40 - 16:30
Location:
Lille Sal
Abstract: The premise is simple. In the future, we won't have or even need all our data or software programs on our own computers -- they'll be floating around somewhere on somebody else's servers, accessible via the internet. A vast, interconnected "nebula" of other people's data and servers, aka the "Cloud". Is this Web 3.0, SOA 2.0, something entirely different, or the same old stuff once again repackaged by the marketing department? Listen to our industry experts' views and opinions (they are sure to have many!) as they debate what it means to live in the cloud. Conferences are all about interaction, so please come and interact with us by posing questions to the panel.
