The cloud security challenge is about more than new technologies, architectures and business models. It is about change. The organizational process of cloud adoption and migration executed by disparate IT teams and business units delivers point cloud and security solutions that create unnecessary gaps in an organization’s security posture. To reduce risk and maximize return on investment, organizations must take a long-term, integrated view of cloud security. They need a framework that is intelligent, comprehensive, easier to implement and identity-centric.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, McAfee identity expert Robert Craig from McAfee’s Identity Center of Expertise will discuss these emerging trends and challenges and how a Security Connected approach combined with advanced threat and web protection, single sign-on and authentication can do more than provide secure access to the cloud – it can, and will, improve your user’s experience with it.

Cloud Expo New York: Agile IaaS with the OVH Dedicated Cloud
It is common to see providers deploy cloud instances using automation, but what happens when these same principles are applied to the provisioning of the infrastructure?
In his General Session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Jean-Sebastien Bruneau, Cloud Architect at OVH.com, will provide insider information on how OVH, winner of the VMware Global Partner Network Award 2013, can make automation work to provide IaaS that scales within minutes.

SAP to Buy E-Commerce Firm
SAP is buying hybris, a 16-year-old $85 million-a-year Swiss e-commerce company, expecting to deliver the next-generation e-commerce platform for on-premise and cloud deployment.
It claims the purchase, which many have expected for a long time, puts it at the leading edge of the consumer economy, raising the stakes in customer relationship management (CRM) and defining the next-generation customer experience.
Terms weren’t disclosed, but All Things Digital thinks the deal is costing SAP $1.2 billion-$1.5 billion.
hybris just got $30 million from the VCs in March including Meritech Capital Partners and Greylock Israel. Its majority investor is Huntsman Gay Global Capital (HGGC), a private investment firm based in Palo Alto, California.
Skyera Shows Enterprise Solid-State Cloud Storage Systems at Cloud Expo NY
Dr. Radoslav Danilak, CEO and co-founder of Skyera Inc., will present on next-generation flash memory technologies to attendees of Cloud Expo New York, June 10-13 at the Javits Center in New York City. Skyera will also show its 44-terabyte skyHawk, a complete enterprise solid-state storage solution with the low latency and scalability that cloud services demand – with the highest density, smallest form-factor and lowest power consumption in the industry – in booth 214.
Danilak’s speech on using flash memory as primary storage for the cloud is featured on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 12 as part of the conference’s Cloud Storage, Security & Performance session.
According to Danilak, only a system-level approach to flash memory management can meet the increasing performance demands of the cloud while bringing the price of all solid-state systems to a level that is equal to high performance HDDs. Innovations are necessary to make the latest generation of 19/20 nm MLC flash memory usable in mainstream enterprise cloud storage. In addition, reducing high costs that keep flash memory from serving as primary storage (as compared to caches or tiers) is very important. His session will highlight flash technology trends for the cloud, and offer system level solutions that will advance flash memory in the enterprise cloud storage market.
Centrify for SaaS Supports Office 365
Centrify, which made its bones making Microsoft’s popular Active Directory accessible to Redmond’s enemies list, is spreading its wings and snuggling up closer to Microsoft at the same time by throwing it something of a lifeline.
See, Microsoft expects Office 365 to be one of the fastest-growing businesses in its history. It’s already claimed it’s got a billion-dollar run rate. There’s only one little problem.
The widgetry Microsoft supplies for Active Directory integration – ADFS or Active Directory Federation Services – is a pain in the proverbial tail for both Microsoft’s field personnel and the channel, which is paid to sell Office 365 and hardly needs to spend hours wrestling with the slippery stuff since it actually takes pricey dedicated hardware and specialized knowledge of the operating system to get it up and running.
