Business Intelligence programs have been getting gradually better about delivering on their promise of instant analytics to support business decisions. Today’s BI platforms have more functionality than ever with dashboards, customizable reporting and more data flexibility. Yet only 15% of the knowledge workers who could be using BI are using these new tools. With such low penetration numbers, how intelligent are businesses really becoming? Before any BI initiative can begin improving sales results, optimizing operational expenses or otherwise saving the enterprise, it must be conceived, funded, assembled, configured and deployed. Even if budgets are allocated, businesses may wait months while all the other steps are taken, especially if infrastructure — servers, operating systems, database platforms, BI technology and all the resources needed to support them — isn't configuring and maintaining infrastructure has eased significantly. Because the entire hardware and software cycle is outsourced to a third-party provider — such as Amazon's EC2, Google's App Engine, and solutions from GoGrid and AppNexus — IT units can focus on applications and solutions. They can also ramp up and down quickly, without the delays and costs typically associated with hardware and software acquisition.
But while the payoff for delivering BI in the cloud may be obvious, going it alone into the cloud can be challenging. By cooperating with technology partners, developing a fully-functional BI stack — one that's truly affordable — is possible. Jaspersoft's work with other vendors to provide a cloud-based BI platform, available and consumed on demand, demonstrates how collaboration can transform cloud-based services from a pie-in-the-sky idea, to a practical application that's the perfect fit for the current economic environment. This willingness to work together, a deeply engrained aspect of the open source software industry, is the key to a successful cloud.

The benefits of private clouds are fairly well documented, but at the end of the day, the best way to gauge the value of this computing model within an enterprise is to jump in and start small. However, starting small doesn't mean sacrificing functionality like elasticity, self service, programmatic access, and automation. In this session, technology visionary and creator of the Java Virtual Machine at Sun Microsystems, Sheng Liang, will discuss how to set-up a small private cloud using commodity infrastructure. He will present the challenges and potential pitfalls associated with rolling your own cloud, and then explain how to evaluate cloud software platforms and select the right servers, storage, hypervisor, and networking infrastructure.

Cloud computing allows companies to perform feats of computation that would otherwise have been impossible, or at least prohibitively expensive. However, cloud computing has generally lacked the security features typically required by small and medium-sized enterprises. Likewise, in using public clouds, IT cedes control over key security parameters to the service provider.
Previously, computer network concepts could not easily be realized within the cloud, because the network itself was not virtualized - just the processing and storage - yet recent developments goe some way toward allowing the virtualization of this infrastructure. These technology advances, such as Trusted Boot Chains to enable or disable access to secure networks, Secure Enclaves to isolate process and data access, and IPsec to establish secure connections with data centers, all enable cloud-based resources to enjoy a greater level of security, to the point where integrating them with a local network of servers become feasible.
This session will cover how these models, architectures and technologies enable the integration of remote, virtual resources with both physical and virtual machines in the data center, giving customers the option use public and private clouds securely and scalably. This is part of a larger trend in cloud computing: creating secure connections between real and virtual machines.

When adopting Cloud solutions, especially Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), questions regarding data security and governance arise. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be subject to the recently released EU Data Protection Directive. In the US, you may have to cope with a patchwork of disparate and overlapping regulations, as well as sector-specific requirements such as HIPPA for healthcare, or FISMA and ITAR for public sector-related organizations.
In this session Terry Woloszyn, the Founder/CTO of PerspecSys and a thought leader in Cloud data governance, will present strategies to address data privacy, residency, and security requirements when adopting Cloud solutions. The session will discuss both the technology options available as well as the functional and business value impacts of each strategy. Cloud Expo delegates will come away with a clearer understanding of the decisions surrounding SaaS adoption while remaining compliant with data governance requirements.

Fear the cloud! That is the conventional thinking of the security industry. Their issue is the uncertainly surrounding virtualization because it is “in the cloud”, and therefore, beyond control. But is that really true? Rather than rehash the cloud computing models as defined by CSA and NIST, this session will break the models down into their tangible and auditable components (networks, servers, applications, third parties, etc). From there, we will discuss different types of assurance solutions available (including SAS 70, PCI, ISO 27001/2, etc.), what companies are doing today, and could be doing better tomorrow.

A combination of interoperability and portability is the Holy Grail of cloud computing, but is nearly impossible to achieve without standards. Hypervisor vendors give lip service to standardization, but have yet to deliver. Standards enable open source applications, foster competition and innovation.
In this session, we will discuss cloud computing standards, emphasizing interoperability and package delivery using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). OVF is an open, secure, portable, efficient and extensible format for the packaging and distribution of software to be run in virtual machines. Abiquo applies OVF to effectively manage multiple datacenters in one platform, making it possible to define and replicate deployments in different infrastructures. Vendor to vendor transfers are quick and easy thanks to OVF.

The advent of cloud computing has changed how companies market, sell, provision and deploy new services. However, one of the less understood issues in this environment, especially for those dependent on automatic payments (credit cards), is the idea of compliance and the parallel issue of customer ownership. How do you manage your services, and by extension your customers, if you don't own the infrastructure on which they reside? And if credit cards are a part of your payment landscape, then PCI compliance is a necessity, not an option.
In this session, Vindicia CTO Brett Thomas will draw on his first-hand experiences relating to cloud-based compliance and highlight some of the technical and business process requirements that underlie these concepts.

Today's data centers stand at the epicenter of powerful technological and economic trends. Cloud computing, together with processing, storage, security and software technologies that make it possible, are already straining the capabilities of legacy data center networks. It can be daunting to interconnect a growing number of virtual and physical devices while trying to simplify the network to manage these resources at scale. Management complexity increases exponentially as more devices are added. The era of legacy data center architectures is ending. Just as other areas of the data center have evolved to meet the demands of an Internet-enabled world, the time has come for networks to take a significant leap forward into cloud computing.
By rethinking traditional legacy approaches and preparing for the advent of cloud computing, it is possible for IT organizations to build data center networks that offer greater economies of scale, improved application service levels, simpler management and lower costs. IT organizations can take decisive steps today that drive businesses closer to the promise of tomorrow. The session will outline what steps organizations must take now to meet the current and future data center challenges at hand.

As much as information technology has changed in the last 10 years, the next decade promises even more significant change. And as cloud technology becomes more prevalent, IT enterprises will be driven to reconsider the status quo around just about everything we know, including Physical Infrastructure, Virtualization, Automation, Service Management, and Security.
Cloud technology and virtualization of virtually everything means rethinking the economic models around physical infrastructure, the emergence of a new class of providers as well as a greater degree of standardization around virtualized OS & Middleware configurations. There are increasing expectations from consumers of data center services - instant provisioning & de-provisioning, just for openers. And with a new generation of workers that expect anytime, anywhere access to corporate data, securing your data outside of your data center walls has become a greater business imperative albeit far more difficult. In this session, Cloud Expo delegates will learn what you need to consider to ensure your enterprise’s foray into cloud computing successfully and securely meets the needs of your enterprise, today and tomorrow.

Companies are becoming increasingly proficient at cross-platform marketing. In particular, using social media sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, in conjunction with traditional media, to drive traffic to websites. If done well, when the users from all of these sources converge on a site there's an inevitable spike in traffic, often supercharged by leveraging social media. For example, Denny's promotion during the Super Bowl increased traffic to their site 1700%. Slashdotting, massive and often unforeseen increases in traffic as the result of getting linked from a popular site such as Drudge Report or Digg, is another example of the impact of social media. These are great opportunities for the recipient of the traffic, if they can handle it.
The elasticity of the Cloud is one of the most effective ways to handle these dramatic swings. But simply throwing more servers at a problem is rarely the solution, and the same is true of scaling in the Cloud. In this session, attendees will learn how to make architectural decisions for their online applications that set the stage for performance and scalability when deploying in the Cloud to handle unforeseen spikes. We'll cover everything from the underlying technology choices (such as the use of Flash vs. HTML5), the infrastructure and typical breaking points to the ongoing operations of measuring performance.

Cloud Computing is disrupting traditional software business models by changing how IT service gets delivered, as it enables a new paradigm in ubiquitous computing and the delivery of "enterprise class" software
and services through the Internet.
As companies search for ways to eliminate costs, reduce the complexity of their IT environments, and improve efficiency in their data centers, Cloud Computing will likely continue to gain prominence. Unlike other major technology industry shifts, such as the shift from Mainframe Computing to Client Server computing, which required massive investment, the Cloud Computing paradigm requires little incremental infrastructure spend, as enterprise computing can be provisioned over the Internet.
In light of this shift, this session will examine the current competitive and market landscape, and assess emerging trends affecting the Cloud Computing market. We also present a synopsis of current trends in Cloud
Computing and its relation to the current capital markets environment.

All the main buzzwords that have been making the rounds over past few years - ASP, SaaS, SOA, Virtualization, Grid Computing, Enterprise 2.0, etc. - have somehow been transmogrified into the single term "Cloud Computing."
We all know how Amazon took the lead in introducing AWS (Amazon Web Services) way back in 2003, then brought in Storage as a Service concept via S3 (Simple Shared Storage). It also introduced EC2 (Elastic Computing Cloud), where Infrastructure as a Service became viable. But what about the other 249 players in the fast-emerging Cloud ecosystem? What are their specialties? What are the newcomers offering? And what about older vendors like IBM? How do the “pure cloud” vendors like Google, Amazon, and SalesForce.com differ from everyone else? What are the lingering unresolved issues - and who is working on solving them?

As storage becomes more affordable, and large-scale data acquisition becomes increasingly common, there is interest from organizations to exploit these massive data sets for business analytics and enterprise-wide reporting. However, a number of issues need to be addressed:
- Information is stored in distributed silos with multiple formats, including databases, text files, spread sheets, etc.
- Traditional data warehouses are limited in scalability, lack flexibility, and tend to be proprietary and expensive
- It can take weeks to add a new data source to a custom datawarehouse, create a new dashboard, or change a hierarchy
This session will examine cloud computing approaches for organizations to run business analytics on hundreds of terabytes of data from multiple sources (operational data, finance data, sales data, as well as external data on markets and customers), and enable business analysts to do rapid custom analytics and real time queries without relying on IT programmers to build reports and dashboards.

By consolidating low priority applications onto shared resources, virtualization has enabled IT organizations to cut costs and improve efficiency, leverage new IT investment, and improve service. As companies advance through the stages of server virtualization adoption, they need an infrastructure-wide analytical systems management solution to provide visibility and control to troubleshoot and assure performance, optimize performance and capacity, plan server and storage requirements, and manage service levels. Organizations that do not advance operationally through the virtualization stages will not be able to leverage private cloud computing.

Composite applications enable IT to provide higher quality, agile solutions with greater ROI by enabling enterprises to build only what is core to their business, but they also present IT organizations with additional performance management challenges.
While core business functionality and databases will still typically be provided by resources located in the data center, composite applications are increasingly composed of services provided from multiple sources, many of which are outside the direct control of the application's owner. To prevent "finger pointing," tools which gives IT end-to-end application visibility from data-center to end-users' browsers, are essential to deploy composite applications. Beginning with use cases and real world examples, this session will detail how IT operations, and increasingly IT architects and developers, can build and deploy composite applications with manageability as their foremost concern.

Many people believe you can take traditional identity and security practices, throw them in a cloud environment, and expect everything to work just fine. Not so! Businesses taking advantage of cloud computing should utilize cloud security approaches that support sharing of roles, policies, and workflows, rather than merely providing single sign-on.
In a cloud environment, workloads (combinations of applications, middleware, and operating systems) can be easily shifted from one locale to another to optimize performance as needed. With these rapid shifts, it's critical to maintain proper regulatory and security standards. For cloud computing to flourish in the enterprise environment, businesses need assurances that they'll still be able to securely manage their people and workloads, regardless of location.
In this session, delegates will learn about the necessary security measures that should be taken to ensure that data is secure in the cloud. In addition, you will discover how one particular method, annexing, can be employed to help support your regulatory compliance efforts.

In the old world of IT, if you didn't have hardware capacity or the budget to buy more, your project was dead in the water. Budget constraints can leave some of the best, most creative and most ingenious innovations on the cutting room floor. It's a true dilemma for developers and innovators – why spend the time creating, when a project could be abandoned in a blink? That was the old world. In the new world of IT, developers rule. They have access to resources they can spin up instantly. A hybrid cloud ignites innovation and empowers developers to focus on what they need. A hybrid cloud blends the best of all worlds, public cloud, private cloud and dedicated servers to fit the needs of developers and offer the ideal environment for each app and workload without the constraints of a one-size-fits-all cloud.

Top Stories for Cloud Computing Expo 2010 East
Darl McBride (pictured), the CEO of SCO and the industry’s favorite pariah,
expects to get fired any minute now.
He expects to get fired because he’s adamantly opposed to winding SCO down,
laying off its people and settling the company’s litigation against Novell
and IBM for chump change, which is the way he sees things going if the
Chapter 11 trustee put in charge of SCO keeps going down the path he appears
to be going down – despite the fact that the trustee told McBride when he
got there that he thinks there is “significant value in the litigation.”
What’s got McBride’s hackles up is that after the favorable 10th Circuit
ruling overturning the summary judgment that Novell owns Unix McBride brought
a major Wall Street investor new to the scene to the table, complete with
term sheet, to invest up to $25 million in SCO, keep it functioning and let
it get to the jury... (more)

This is creating an unprecedented focus on the Application Programming Interface (API) as developers seek to connect these devices and interfaces to create new supporting services and hybrids. I call this trend the move toward an API-first business model and strategy.
