10:15 AM – 11:15 AM Location: Lagoon B Cloud computing turns many fundamental IT assumptions on their heads. Machines are free. Data doesn't always need to be right. We assume everything fails. Infrastructure is code. To thrive in the world of utility computing, you need to think cloudy. In this session, you'll learn where common wisdom fails, and how to change your mindset when it comes to on-demand architectures. Speaker - Alistair Croll, Founder, Bitcurrent  Alistair is the principal analyst at Bitcurrent; an executive at CloudOps; an advisor to various technology venture firms; the founder of the Bitnorth conference; and the founder of the Human 2.0 blog on emerging technologies. | |
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Location: Breakers L The media is overflowing with discussions of the benefits of adopting cloud computing and enabling technologies such as virtualization. What has been missing from that discussion is an analysis of what has to happen to the network and the management of the network to enable them to support cloud computing. For example, the deployment of vSwitches will potentially result in IT organizations having to manage hundreds of new switches from multiple vendors. In addition, today’s WAN can’t effectively support the dynamic movement of VMs nor cloud bursting and most management tools and processes are focused on static not dynamic resources. In this session, Jim Metzler of Ashton, Metzler & Associates will describe in detail the set of challenges created by cloud computing and will also provide an overview of the emerging networking, optimization and management technologies that hold the potential to mitigate these challenges. Speaker - Jim Metzler, Vice President, Ashton Metzler & Associates  Jim has a wide background in the IT industry. This includes being a software engineer, an engineering manager for high-speed data services for a major telco, a product manager for network hardware, a network manager at two Fortune 500 companies, and the principal of a consulting organization.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Location: Lagoon B With dozens of cloud computing firms to choose from, the battle lines are drawn. In this interactive, moderated discussion, we'll try to determine which cloud providers are best for different IT goals. You'll learn which companies are high-touch, and which are no-touch; which are cheap, and which are premium-priced; which are complex and which are turnkey. Come armed with your own scenarios, awkward questions, and shortlist criteria and put these providers on the spot. Moderator - Randy Bias, Co-Founder and CTO, Cloudscaling  Randy's provocative views on the profound disruption caused by cloud computing have made him one of the most influential voices in the industry.

2:15 PM – 3:15 PM Location: Lagoon B In cloud computing, security is the monster in the closet. Studies have shown that enterprises see security as the biggest reason not to adopt utility computing—and the biggest reason to use it. Proponents of clouds suggest that they have access to better talent and tools than their users do, and after all, most breaches come from within. Detractors warn that with clouds, someone else controls your destiny, and the shared model exposes you to the mistakes of your neighbours. Who's right? In this Oxford-style debate, we'll put both arguments to the test, and see who's got the most convincing story. Moderator - Alistair Croll, Founder, Bitcurrent Alistair is the principal analyst at Bitcurrent; an executive at CloudOps; an advisor to various technology venture firms; the founder of the Bitnorth conference; and the founder of the Human 2.0 blog on emerging technologies.

10:15 AM – 11:15 AM Location: Lagoon B The cloud breaks things up into chunks, making them easier to move around, recover, and work with in parallel. A result of this is that disaster recovery isn't so much a feature as a pleasant side-effect. Enterprises that use the cloud as a DR site pay a fraction of what they would if they built a second site themselves, but putting data in the cloud tends to lead to putting the applications there too. On-demand, utility-based storage allows for pay-as-you-go economics that CFOs will find irresistable, and could pave the way to the cloud for many enterprises. In this panel, we'll look at how cloud storage is disrupting traditional backup and disaster recovery solutions for businesses of all sizes and shapes.

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Location: Lagoon B Current computing products are generally location specific, enhancing the ability of governments to enact regulations representing their national priorities. This, in turn, provides contractual certainty to users of computing resources who can reasonably anticipate which laws will apply to their contracts, and analyze risk pertinent to their transactions. In contrast, cloud computing in its fullest form will likely have a disruptive impact on the transnational regulation of security issues. This session will present an overview of U.S. and EU laws, regulations and policies pertinent to the use of computing resources in general, drawing attention to areas that regulators might reasonably target regarding cloud computing. Possible regulatory and legal schemes emerging from this evaluation will be presented, followed by a discussion of resources available to users of cloud computing resources in response to potential changes, primarily regarding contract terms and risk management theories.

8:45 AM – 9:15 AM Location: South Seas B Organizations are increasingly building or deploying cloud services in a way that are just good enough, just durable enough, just big enough, just in time. The "good enough cloud" is the kind of deployment being seen industry-wide now, and users can begin taking advantage of this model for cloud deployment, which involves measured investment, patience and trial runs. Characterized by rapid deployment of functionality and enabled by the growing cloud capabilities offered by cloud vendors, non-IT users are able to deliver solutions via tools that might have historically been considered less-than-enterprise caliber. These solutions represent a means for rapid deployment of robust capabilities at a cost saving vs. traditional IT. As these solutions are easily deployed and inherently scalable, the potential gains are significant,but the potential exposure must be managed to mitigate business disruption, security and privacy risks, and intellectual property risks.

Speaker - Alistair Croll, Founder, Bitcurrent Alistair is the principal analyst at Bitcurrent; an executive at CloudOps; an advisor to various technology venture firms; the founder of the Bitnorth conference; and the founder of the Human 2.0 blog on emerging technologies. | |
9:45 AM – 10:00 AM Location: South Seas B Most enterprise cloud adoption has relied on virtual machines and infrastructure as a service. But there's a lot to love about the other approach to clouds—platform as a service. In a PaaS model, you worry about your code, and the systems take care of the rest. Lots of smart analysts think PaaS is the inevitable consequence of true utility computing. In this session, Tom Mornini explains why PaaS might be the future for enterprises.

1:40 PM – 2:05 PM Location: South Seas B Cloud computing has been portrayed as a panacea for companies looking for the flexibility and scalability they need to grow their businesses, while keeping costs down. Many companies have moved their applications and processes to the cloud, because of these benefits. Great! But once in the cloud, a lot of folks are having a "what did I do" kind of moment? Now that all my stuff is in the cloud, how do I get information out? How do I move information around and get it to interact with each other? Unfortunately for many, data, application or B2B integration is an afterthought when evaluating the cloud, and it becomes the stumbling block that prevents companies from realizing the cloud's true benefits. This session helps attendees understand how to proactively think about integration as part of their overall cloud strategy, and develop a clear roadmap for maximizing results from the cloud.
