Next week I’ll be speaking at Cloud Expo in New York City, one of the premier cloud industry events in the U.S. Of the 150+ sessions that will take place over the four-day conference, a handful appears to address an essential element of the cloud: the network.
The importance of an enterprise-grade network at the center of cloud services cannot be overstated. Without it, private clouds are closed systems, and public clouds are subject to unpredictable performance and potential security breaches. The optimum cloud is one that is network-based, where cloud services are actually embedded in the network. A network-based, or “virtual private cloud,” allows cloud workloads and applications to be managed and delivered as part of a total solution to any device, just like voice and data.

Cloud Computing: Impetus to Present Big Data Strategies at Cloud Expo
Impetus Technologies (www.impetus.com), an innovation-based software R&D services company, today announced that it will present and exhibit at Cloud Expo, NYC from June 11-14, 2012. Impetus offers accelerated consulting and services for architecture audit, design and implementation to build Big Data and Analytics solutions for enterprises. Enterprises today face challenges while integrating the Big Data technologies with their existing IT setup.
Vineet Tyagi, Head of Impetus Innovation Labs, will be presenting a session on June 12th and share with companies, the strategies that would help in minimizing the risks of such integration.
Vineet has also been invited to participate in a CTO panel that will discuss the emerging trends in Big Data and Cloud Computing. Impetus is hosting a workshop at the Boot camp on ‘Big Data Analytics using AWS cloud offerings like AWS, EMR and DynamoDB’.
The Big Data Revolution
For many years, companies collected data from various sources that often found its way into relational databases like Oracle and MySQL. However, the rise of the Internet, Web 2.0, and recently social media began an enormous increase in the amount of data created as well as in the type of data. No longer was data relegated to types that easily fit into standard data fields. Instead, it now came in the form of photos, geographic information, chats, Twitter feeds, and emails. The age of Big Data is upon us.
A study by IDC titled “The Digital Universe Decade” projects a 45-fold increase in annual data by 2020. In 2010, the amount of digital information was 1.2 zettabytes (1 zettabyte equals 1 trillion gigabytes). To put that in perspective, the equivalent of 1.2 zettabytes is a full-length episode of “24” running continuously for 125 million years, according to IDC. That’s a lot of data. More important, this data has to go somewhere, and IDC’s report projects that by 2020, more than one-third of all digital information created annually will either live in or pass through the cloud. With all this data being created, the challenge will be how to collect, store, and analyze what it means.
zapp Migration to Play Central Role in appzero’s Cloud Expo Presence
appzero CEO, Greg O’Connor and CTO Giovanni Boschi will be speaking on appzero’s newly announced, patent pending zapp migration at Cloud Expo, NY, NY at 8:15 on June 12th:
Cloud migration automation; on-board complex enterprise applications
Moving production applications to the cloud takes heavy lifting. The mismatch between the current set of infrastructure tools and application requirements has been both an impediment to cloud adoption, and a call for tools that are application-centric. Join appzero CEO Greg O’Connor and CTO Giovanni Boschi as they demonstrate migration of production applications to any cloud. Find out how to automate on-boarding of complex enterprise applications and move them anywhere with the ease of an enterprise app store — without re-engineering, re-installation, or lock-in.
Cloud Computing: Citrix to Buy Bytemobile
Citrix said Thursday that it has arranged to buy privately held Bytemobile for a mystery sum to get leverage in the global mobile data and video infrastructure market as LTE rolls out.
Bytemobile makes data and video optimization solutions for mobile network operators.
Citrix said the acquisition, expected to close in Q3, would give it a strategic foothold in the core infrastructure of more than 130 mobile operators in 60 countries around the world, extending its market reach, and enhancing its broader strategy of powering mobile “workstyles” and cloud services.
Cloud Computing: WHIPTAIL Talks Big Data & the Speed of Life at Cloud Expo
The 10th International Cloud Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City will put a fine focus on two of the hottest topics in Enterprise IT today – Cloud Computing and Big Data. WHIPTAIL, the world leader in high performance 100 percent silicon storage arrays, will showcase their class-leading solutions on the Big Data Power Panel and the Data at the Speed of Life general session.
WHIPTAIL, the first company to introduce a family of high performance products that are scalable and offer investment protection, will be represented by Max Riggsbee, vice president of product management and CMO, and Mike Schmitt, director of product management and marketing.
Cloud Computing: QLogic to Address Cloud Storage Migration at Cloud Expo
WHAT: QLogic will exhibit and present at the 10th International Cloud Expo. QLogic experts will provide attendees with insight and practical information that will allow them to address current trends in cloud computing and better manage their storage in the cloud era.
Presentations include:
Ilker Cebeli, director of cloud computing, QLogic, will discuss «I/O Architectures for Big Data» on Thursday, June 14, at 9:55 a.m. In this session, attendees will learn how Big Data is impacting storage and networking architecture in the data center and how to build optimized infrastructure to address this trend. In addition, Cebeli will explain how to leverage cloud storage while maintaining local iSCSI and Fibre Channel storage infrastructure.
Cloud Computing: Oracle Takes to the Cloud
Oracle went indubitably cloud Wednesday when it hoisted a hundred-odd applications into the sky.
Larry Ellison, who emceed the announcement – and who’s got to be every reporter’s favorite CEO simply for the kind of copy he produces – said Oracle started on a “forced march” to the cloud seven years ago, leaving one to assume he previously belittled the hyped architecture as “complete gibberish” so Oracle could catch up.
The shift away from software that customers install internally – and the kind of support fees Oracle charges – could take a bite out of Oracle’s precious revenues. A few years ago Ellison said the cloud was a hard way to make money.
Cloud Computing: The Biggest Big Data at Cloud Expo New York
Have you ever stopped to ask the question, what is the biggest Big Data? If you haven’t, it’s probably because you don’t imagine that it could have much to do with your day-to-day business concerns. But, in a real sense, you are already intimately involved in the ultimate Big Data.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Sandy Steier, CEO & Co-Founder of 1010data, will describe the largest possible dataset and show that, if you are involved with any data, you are automatically involved in the biggest data. He will also discuss what this implies for the future of data analysis.
