Capacity management may not be dead yet, but with the adoption of private clouds it’s barely recognizable. IT organizations are radically changing how they plan and manage infrastructure to cope with the complexity of these large-scale shared environments and prevent the over-provisioning that results from old school planning approaches.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Andrew Hillier, Co-Founder and CTO at CiRBA, will outline best practices for gaining control over dynamic...
Big Data has become very popular as what can probably best be described as “loosely structured large scale data”, i.e., data sets of relatively small files.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Tom Leyden, Director of Alliances and Marketing at Amplidata, will explain what Big Unstructured Data is (lots of large, unstructured files) and how you build scalable storage infrastructures that can handle such volumes of data. The focus will be on Object Storage, which is the future s...

Many organizations have embraced, or are considering, the benefits of cloud computing – speed, flexibility, increased expertise, shared workload, reduced costs, etc. The benefits are many – but so are the risks. What are the threats to cloud security? Which parties assume responsibility for securing the environment? What about the data? Which type of cloud deployment offers superior security benefits?
In her session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Kristin Lovejoy, Vice President of Infor...
The proliferation of device connectivity is redefining the functionality requirements and capabilities of many embedded systems as more and more of these devices look to leverage the “Cloud.” While many commercial software and hardware component vendors have begun to realign their value propositions to satisfy growing demand, commercial-off-the-shelf products (COTS) alone cannot meet every OEM’s needs. As a result, the Embedded Cloud has injected a new level of uncertainty and a new competitive ...
What are the legal implications and consequences of cloud computing in the healthcare and high-tech sectors? What are the potential legal protections and solutions from the point of view of providers, suppliers and consumers?
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Paul Rubell, a Partner at Meltzer Lippe, will discuss the federal mandates that will encourage “meaningful use” of EHR technology by 2015, and what those mandates will require executives to understand about cloud comput...
2011 was a year of rapid adoption for public and private cloud services. Instant and on-demand server provisioning was the driving force behind the massive growth. On top, cloud server templates and script automation simplified application installation for simple and pre-defined application stacks, but have not targeted more complex enterprise application environments.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, John Yung, CEO of Appcara, will discuss how 2012 will be the year for app...
Big Data is a top technology trend for 2012 according to Forrester Research. The Economist said that Big Data is a new game changing asset and The Harvard Business Review termed it as a scientific revolution. Scientific Revolution? Because it is data-intensive … 
Open standards are a nice idea. And democracy is a great idea too, all citizens can vote, yet we only have two real parties representing us. Similarly, I think that standards start out as a good idea, yet over time may start to become ineffective. For the most part standards committees never actuall...
The automation of processes is a key enabler of the Cloud phenomena – without process the Cloud remains a passive environment that undoubtedly saves you money and removes some of the operational headaches, but does little else.
The Cloud without process cannot deliver on the promise of Business Tec...
As evident from various social media interactions, blogs, tech news sites and other Google searches, the two events that clearly brought the attention of every one happened in quick succession.
Interestingly there are huge discussions about the issue of ‘Windows 8 vs iPad 3,' while the former is an...
This posting provides an introduction to cloud computing: concepts and terminology.
Cloud computing is a general term for computing services delivered over the Internet, as opposed to computing services hosted inside your own network; on your own premises.
These computing services can be as simple...
Virtualization has been used for many years to maximize the usage and value of installed server hardware. It allows resource sharing of single computer among many users through virtual machines (VM) that are securely isolated and highly reliable. In recent years, companies like VMware has been extre...
Sometimes you may want to restore the newer version of the file on the target computer over the existing (Older) version. This is particularly important in the Sync scenario, where you want to have your target folder look exactly as the source. In the previous version of CloudBerry Backup that would...
