One of the most compelling promises of the cloud is that you can pull out a credit card and be working in minutes. No purchase orders to fill out, no equipment to wait for on the loading dock. Just instant access to the resources you need, when you need them. But accessibility comes at a price, and an unintentional consequence may be that you create yet another orphaned identity silo. Enterprise IT has spent years consolidating its mishmash of directories, only to discover that cloud now threatens to turn back their hard-won victories.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Scott Morrison, CTO and Chief Architect at Layer 7 Technologies, will look at strategies to incorporate identity into cloud applications. Enterprise identity or social login can both be a part of your go-to-cloud strategy, but you must plan for this upfront, rather than try to retrofit identity and access control at a later date.

Cloud Launched to Move x86 Apps to ARM
Boston Limited, which – don’t be fooled – is in England – is peddling the world’s first commercially available ARM-as-a-Service (AaaS), a cloud service offering engineers remote access to preconfigured systems so they can move their server apps – specifically x86 server apps – to ARM.
The widgetry is based on Calxeda’s still 32-bit EnergyCore ARM-based processor technology.
Boston’s AaaS platform is supposed to give developers all the tools and services required to port and migrate software to the ARM platform, which promises to be 64-bit around the end of the year.
Boston has teamed with its UK neighbor Ellexus to offer Breeze, software ARM itself uses to profile and troubleshoot applications on its own HPC cluster.

Technology Benefit Cycle: What Gartner & Geoffrey Moore Aren’t Telling You
The Technology Adoption Lifecycle and Gartner’s Hype Cycle are well known in the industry for helping companies make better and informed decisions about technology adoption and deployment. Both have influenced companies the world over and through various technology generations. These models however address only two dimensions – technology maturity and adoption. There is a third and equally important dimension that looks to understand how new technology adoption is going to benefit an organization. It’s about understanding the process and the manifestation of possible prosperity, the height of attainment, as well as the futility an organization can experience while adopting new technology. With cloud computing, mobility, Big Data and social collaboration, organizations not only need to understand this third dimension better (to reap the benefits) but they should also be well prepared to experience and manage the entire journey.

Cloud Expo New York: Big Time – Introducing Hadoop on Azure
In the last couple of years Hadoop has become synonymous with Big Data. This framework is so vast and popular that Microsoft recently announced, for the first time in its history, that it is going to invest in this large-scale, open-source project as its solution for Big Data.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Yaniv Rodenski, a Senior Consultant at Sela Group, will show how Hadoop works on Windows Azure including an exploration of different storage options, e.g., AVS and S3, how Hadoop on Azure integrates with other cloud services, understanding key scenarios for Hadoop in the Microsoft ecosystem, and discovering Hadoop’s role in a cloud environment.
