It is 11 October, 2014. I am writing this in Kathmandu, capital of Nepal at the foot of the majestic Himalayas. The date is only marginally significant – it is now 2 years and seven months since I was successfully operated on for pancreatic cancer – but the location perhaps is more revealing. Kathmandu is a city of life and laughter and matches perfectly the mood of someone who not only has escaped the usual fate of those struck by the deadliest of all the cancers, but has also shaken off the insidious side-effects of chemotherapy, the «planned poisoning» that represents the world’s default treatment for malignant tumors.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: Building Big Data Solutions in the Cloud
The success of extracting people-oriented business intelligence depends upon the ability to collect every possible expression and derive the business observations from it. Usually this is done by implementing machine-learning algorithms running on large datasets using Big Data and cloud technologies. However, often the requirements for Big Data analysis are not well understood by the developers and business owners, thus creating an undesirable product. There is a need to develop the expertise and process of creating small-scale prototypes quickly and testing them to demonstrate correctness, to match with business goals.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Shrikant Pattathil, Executive Vice President at Harbinger Systems, will discuss how to practice agile process modeling using non-production rapid prototyping technologies to develop a working lightweight prototype. This prototype can be easily migrated to cloud technologies with larger datasets ready for production.
Cloud Expo: Lighten Your Data Center TCO with Helium Storage Solutions
Massive in scale, hyperscale cloud infrastructures are defining new storage efficiencies as there are intense economical and operational pressures to do more with less, while building and maintaining expansive and complex multi-tiered storage data centers in order to scale, reduce TCO and ultimately manage prolific data growth. At the heart of these data centers is storage.
In his General Session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Brendan Collins, VP of Product Marketing at HGST, will talk about the future of HDDs based on a new Helium platform that will enable new market opportunities and improve TCO like never before.
Cloud Expo: APIs for Mobile App Development: A Soup to Nuts Analysis
APIs are the foundational element of a mobile app strategy, and are necessary to truly get an enterprise’s massive amounts of data into a usable framework on a mobile device. However, what makes a great API that developers will be successful building against? What’s the best architecture? How do you build clients that use APIs?
In his General Session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Alistair Farquharson, CTO of SOA Software, will discuss the best practices and latest thinking about building mobile apps against APIs, and how to design APIs that are intuitive and optimized for building engaging mobile apps.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: Demystifying Hybrid Cloud
There has been a ton of buzz in the industry lately around hybrid cloud. From enterprises developing multi-vendor cloud strategies to hosting providers offering products that take advantage of different infrastructure types, there has been a definite shift toward hybrid clouds as the preferred IT hosting model.
But what is hybrid cloud? Is it using a public cloud with a private cloud? Or is it using dedicated hosting with a public cloud? Or could it be using an on-premise private cloud combined with an off-premise dedicated hosting provider? The answer is yes! Hybrid cloud could be any combination of using a public cloud, private cloud or dedicated hosting. With a hybrid cloud, you can spread your workloads across each of these different environments to run them where they’re the best fit for your application.
WebRTC Summit Power Panel: The Future of WebRTC
WebRTC is the latest superhot topic emerging from Cloud Expo, and emerging from the worlds of open-source development and cloud computing worldwide.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: Moving Enterprise Applications to the Cloud
Everyone is talking about the benefits of “the Cloud,” but are you ready to pick up and move your business applications? With Windows Server 2003 end of life approaching, companies are faced with moving large numbers of enterprise applications. Learn how you can modernize your applications (OS up level) and transform them (move to the cloud) at the same time.

In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Greg O’Connor, CEO of AppZero, will discuss and demonstrate new “up-level OS” migration capabilities, which allow users to effortlessly move server applications from old operating systems to new ones as part of a cloud migration.
Why Small Business Needs Cloud Computing
They may be small in terms of the number of employees, but small businesses stand to reap big benefits when it comes to cloud computing.
Cloud is uniquely suited to meet the needs of a small business trying to grow quickly. If you are an entrepreneur or own a small business, here are some reasons compiled by SmartDataCollective.com, why cloud computing would be a good fit.
Many potential entrepreneurs are inhibited by the huge upfront costs required in order to get a business up and running. Investing in technology can be particularly consuming, but with the cloud, it doesn’t have to be. A cloud database can provide everything from the basic infrastructure to ready-to-use applications, so business owners only have to plug in and go.
