Opening CIO Keynote Presentation The Future of Clouds - Clouds of them - or, the Intercloud As more and more Service Providers invest in their massive Public Cloud offerings, and more and more Enterprises create Private Clouds, interoperability and federation will become expected. Just as the phone system grew to a global, roamable, interoperable system, and so did the Internet, so will Cloud Computing grow to become the Intercloud. It will be as obvious and prevalent to the next new generation as the Internet is to this new generation. This opening keynote session will discuss what the Intercloud is, and by describing those evolutionary characteristics of the phone system and the Internet, shows the exact same catalysts occurring already in Cloud Computing. A survey of advanced R&D, industry consortium, and nucleal standards activities for Intercloud are presented. A "future Intercloud" world is painted highlighting the "perfect storm" of Intercloud, Mobile, and High Speed Wireless. |

In this session I will share my experience dealing with Cloud, big data for the past 5 years and how the technologies helped me in my decision making process and the teams I had to assemble to get the job done. |
CIO Think Tank The Hitch-hikers guide to Cloud Computing Standards and Compliance The good thing about standards - is that there are so many of them. And there is no exception in the area of Cloud Computing! At first, it seems like an impossibility to sort through what is happening with Cloud standards. This session will walk through the landscape of Cloud Computing standards and regulatory compliance disciplines, categorizing and simplifying the landscape so a practical understanding and implementation approach can be met. We will reflect on how we went wrong with Web Services, and take a look at US, European, and International organizations who are tackling this problem. We will end up with a practical guide for discussing standards and compliance with both Private and Public cloud vendors which you can apply to your procurement processes right away. |

With the worldwide adoption of virtualization and cloud technologies, CIOs are expected to support new critical business demands in a more agile and cost effective way. How do we create flexibility and reduce complexity while still maintaining control, security and governance of our assets within our limited budget? Success is not just about the technology you select, it is about the core processes that the organization must adapt and leadership through that process of change. This insightful session will break down the factors and considerations that will optimize the value that cloud computing can bring to your organization, including what is real and what is fiction. |

CIO Thought Leadership The Role of Cloud Services Brokerage Companies in Cloud Services Organizations that are increasingly utilizing cloud in their business operations realize that it's not all that simple to deal with several service providers. More providers normally mean additional efforts in managing several discrete service providers. This growing challenge has resulted in an obvious question of how to make these services work together to get maximum effectiveness and efficiency. The answer is the services of Cloud Services Brokerage companies. A CSB is a third party company that adds value to cloud services on behalf of cloud service consumers. Their goal is to bring better experience for consumers. In this presentation, we will discuss the significance of CSB's role and how it helps improve the overall cloud experience for enterprises. |

CIO Think Tank The Future Intercloud - From Telephones to AOL to the Internet - and Beyond Some say you can't know where you are going until you really understand where you've been. Others say that history doesn't really repeat, but it does Rhyme. No matter what your perspective, if you want to know what the future of Cloud Computing has to offer, a walk down memory lane is a requirement. This session predicts the future Intercloud in very specific detail by examining the first global, interoperable network - the public telegraphy, and the telephone network. It was a strange and twisted 100 year journey leading up to a phone system which has any resemblance to the one we take for granted today. After that interesting stroll through history, the session examines the development of the Internet - which had a strange set of detours called AOL, Compuserve, and Prodigy. Again we learn from history not to predict the fall of MySpace and Facebook (oops that's a different prediction) but to understand what will happen with Cloud Computing in the future. The session makes startlingly precise predictions as to what the future Intercloud will look like and how it will function. Actually this is because we are already building it! I'll describe these fascinating "on the cutting edge of cloud" efforts arming you with knowledge of the future of Cloud Computing you wouldn't get anywhere else. |

CIO Thought Leadership Public, Private or Hybrid Cloud: How Governance and Compliance Impact Your Decision The public cloud offers organizations economies of scale, resources on demand, and much lower administrative overhead. Yet predictions are that private cloud deployments will grow more than 10x in 2012 and continue to grow at an accelerated rate in the coming years. Though the public cloud can offer many advantages, especially for structured data and applications, the world of unstructured content continues to pose very real challenges related to compliance and information governance. Addressing these challenges can be very complex, especially with still many unanswered questions. What happens in case of an investigation or litigation, not only yours but your public cloud provider? How do you address 'sovereign soil' issues, (e.g. 'The Patriot Act')? What are the implications to your information management policies? How does this fit with content proliferating across your mobile infrastructure? In this session, we'll discuss the big issues that organizations are grappling with and how some are using private or hybrid cloud options to manage their unstructured content while gaining many of the same benefits of the public cloud. |

CIO Think Tank How Cloud Computing will Impact the Future of Earth Observation from Space Servicing the internauts society with geocoded information turn out not to be trivial and present requirements are pushing space technology to new frontiers with disrupting technologies capitalizing on new satellite constellation interacting with world-wide GRID-based distributed networks. These novel concepts will be illustrated by introducing the cloud-based revolutionary e-CORCE program (e-Contellation of Observation by Recurring Cellular Environment) project under development by Blue Planet. It is aiming at capturing the full planet with 1 meter resolution in a less than one week time and so make the whole planet continuously at reach of anyone. |
CIO Think Tank Let's Talk about Cloud When deploying virtualization or a public or private cloud environment, a variety of factors can cause concern and ultimately inhibit speed of adoption. While virtualization is an important technological component of private cloud, the key differentiator is the continued abstraction of computing resources from infrastructure and the machines (virtual or otherwise) used to deliver those resources. Only by delivering this abstraction can customers achieve the benefits of private cloud - including improved agility and responsiveness, reduced TCO, and increased business alignment and focus. In this session, we will discuss how a private cloud environment promises to exceed the cost effectiveness of a virtualized infrastructure through higher workload density and greater resource utilization.

CIO Thought Leadership Cloud, Storage and Big Data Every computing revolution drives storage volumes - with storage becoming a bigger and more crucial market than ever. With the cloud you can gain access to a storage solution that easily scales up and down to any size you need and allows you to pay only for the storage you use. It provides elastic capacity on demand with no financial commitments or contract minimums, and allows access to your stored data from virtually anywhere and at any time. This session will be an insightful discussion about virtualization, cloud computing, big data, data center consolidation, and the requirements for storage. |

Roundtable Workloads "On-The-Move" As the cloud begins to deliver on the promise of agility through on-demand and scalable computing, we find ourselves requiring unprecedented flexibility in how and where our workloads run. Whether our applications and data are moving from dev & test to production, from within our corporate boundaries out to our partner networks, or from one internal service offering to another - it is clear we need a new suite of tools to fully realize the benefits of workload mobility. Join me for an overview of the criteria we need to consider in the portability, security, and governance of applications and data "on the move."

CIO Thought Leadership Business Resilience - Build It In, Don't Bolt It On: Many enterprises have been hesitant to move their core applications to the cloud. Well-publicized cloud outages have certainly raised concerns about maintaining high availability. Ongoing issues regarding data security and compliance have also contributed to a reluctance to move core functionality to the cloud. This session will discuss a new way to deploy applications in the cloud that is inherently resilient, using a geographically distributed database and application platform. This new approach results in high availability for cloud applications and also helps contain costs and maintain data control. |

CIO Executive Visions Key Challenges of Business Cloud Computing Everyone is talking about the cloud, but what are the key challenges for the business in terms of cloud computing? Do not underestimate them - these are formidable challenges. They will take time to overcome and will determine which organizations will be able to cross the 'chasm' to long-term success. While strong technical skills will be essential to address the security and integration issues, solid business management skills will be far more important in the other areas. This executive panel discussion will cover topics related to Data Governance, Manageability, Monitoring, Reliability & Availability and Virtualization Security. Moderator: Panelists: |
