Cloud Computing Conference, San Diego

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 07:29:36 +0000

Cloud Computing Conference will be held in San Diego, September 9, 2009. The theme of the conference is “Demystifying Cloud Computing”. Cloud computing is becoming option of choice when iin the times of economic uncertainty and cut IT budgets. There is a lot of hype surrounding the concept of cloud computing. The goal of the conference is to help IT professionals separate the myth from reality. Conference attendees will learn about the opportunities and challenges when implementing cloud computing solutions. They will also gain an overview of the multi-vendor, multi-product cloudscape combined with real-world examples and insightful analysis.

Yashpal Talreja, a former Technologist from Oracle and Amazon:

Cloud Computing is a natural evolution of the SaaS (Software as a Service) and Virtualization. Cloud Computing gives companies flexibility in using the elasticity of the cloud from increasing their raw computing capacity to benefiting from various services, varying from generalized services such as mapping services or specialized niche services such as look ups for negotiated fee for medical procedures for PPO networks.

A recent U.S. Federal Cloud Computing Market Report 2010-2015 forecasts that U.S. Government spending on cloud computing enters an explosive growth phase – at about 40% CAGR over the next six years. Expenditure will pass $7 billion by 2015.

Virtualization: Optimizing Enterprise IT

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 07:29:29 +0000

Webinar “Beyond Virtualization: How Automation and Dynamic Capacity Management Drive Down Capital Costs and Increase Utilization” will be held Wednesday, June 10 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. The webinar sponsored by Surgient, the leading provider of IT service delivery optimization and virtualization automation solutions, will explore how enterprise IT can fully harness the cost savings and operational benefits of rapid provisioning that comes with a self-service infrastructure model.

The rapidly increasing adoption of virtualized infrastructure provides for new approaches to IT capacity management, resulting in dramatic cost savings. Virtualization separates, or abstracts, the capacity within a server from the physical hardware supplying the resources, and the resulting pool of capacity can be provisioned as needed. However, capturing the full benefits of this abstraction in a self-service environment necessitates some changes to the way enterprise IT approaches capacity management.

To truly benefit from the rapid provisioning and streamlined processes enabled by self service, a new method of capacity management is needed that views the total available resources in aggregate and intelligently positions workloads within a pool of resources to maintain maximum utilization levels. This method of dynamic, deterministic capacity management requires a critical technology component: guaranteed resource reservations. Guaranteed resources, merged with resource pooling, workload capacity definitions, and predictive workload placement, create significant operational and capital benefits for enterprise IT organizations implementing a self-service infrastructure model.
