As public cloud providers face a mounting challenge to their business from AWS, more and more are turning to the federated cloud model to deliver the scale, reach and capability they need to compete.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Ditlev Bredahl, CEO & Co-Founder of OnApp, will explore how a cloud federation works, and the opportunities and challenges for providers who adopt this model. Using case studies, it will show how federated cloud is not just the savior of the traditional hosting industry, but also a way for stakeholders to benefit from better, faster and cheaper services, and a way for them to finally realize the promise of the cloud.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: Why Lease When You Can Buy Your Cloud
Perhaps one of the perplexing things about cloud computing is the choice around renting time in someone else’s cloud (Amazon, Google, Rackspace or a myriad of others) or building your own. It’s not unlike the age-old car buyer’s dilemma, take the lower payments and lower total miles lease or buy the car and drive it for the long haul. Cloud computing users are often faced with the same conundrum.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Mark Hinkle, Senior Director, Open Source Solutions at Citrix, will focus on how to buy and build a cloud that can fulfill the needs of most users including strategies for making use of the open source private cloud or managing workloads in both the private and public cloud using open source software.

Traffic Advisory: Your Packets May Be Delayed
The past few years have seen a dramatic improvement in the latency in network switches. Single ASIC based switches can all pretty much switch packets in less than a microsecond. Current 10GE switching silicon provides anywhere from 300 to 800 nanoseconds, specialized silicon shaves that to less than 200 nanoseconds when limiting the amount of searching that needs to be done by reducing the size of lookup tables. Even other solutions play some smart tricks by providing forwarding hints for intermediate switches make those lookups take less than 50 nanoseconds.
Modular switches inherently have a higher latency. Line cards on modular switches typically have multiple ASICs, those ASICs are connected through a single or multi stage fabric. Each step takes time, resulting in latencies varying from around a microsecond when a packet stays on the same ASIC, to possibly 5-15 microseconds when a packet needs to travel through the fabric and back.
Google’s Enterprise Problem
Google’s reluctance to commit to the Cloud Platform long term isn’t an indication that Google doesn’t understand the enterprise Cloud buyer, or that Google isn’t committed to serving their enterprise customers long term. Rather, it’s more of a cultural difference between Google and typical enterprises. Fair enough – but won’t a cultural disconnect be a problem for Google as they ramp up their enterprise Cloud offering? The answer is no, but understanding why requires understanding the broader context of enterprise Cloud Computing.
