Capacity management may not be dead yet, but with the adoption of private clouds it’s barely recognizable. IT organizations are radically changing how they plan and manage infrastructure to cope with the complexity of these large-scale shared environments and prevent the over-provisioning that results from old school planning approaches.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Andrew Hillier, Co-Founder and CTO at CiRBA, will outline best practices for gaining control over dynamic capacity supply and workload demand in large-scale virtual and cloud infrastructure. He will also discuss how leading Fortune 500 organizations brought together infrastructure teams, capacity teams and application owners to increase agility, reduce risk and costs by optimizing infrastructure planning and management processes.

Cloud Expo New York: Mobilizing Enterprise Applications for the Cloud
2011 was a year of rapid adoption for public and private cloud services. Instant and on-demand server provisioning was the driving force behind the massive growth. On top, cloud server templates and script automation simplified application installation for simple and pre-defined application stacks, but have not targeted more complex enterprise application environments.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, John Yung, CEO of Appcara, will discuss how 2012 will be the year for application integration and dependency management technologies to take center stage and accelerate enterprise application workloads into the cloud with single pane-of-glass view and control.
Cloud Expo New York: Cloud Architectures Require Scale-Out Storage
Building a cloud computing environment with on-demand access to compute, network, and storage resources requires an elastic infrastructure at multiple levels. Virtualization combined with x86 servers has transformed the way we scale out compute resources. Unfortunately, legacy Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage architectures are rooted in rigid mainframe-era designs, and are fundamentally mismatched with the dynamic, shared modern data center.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Kevin Brown, CEO of Coraid, will discuss how Ethernet SAN architectures leverage off-the-shelf hardware, standard Ethernet, and distributed storage processing to enable a building block approach to scalability – no forklift upgrades required. With Ethernet SAN, capacity and performance both scale linearly with user demand without forcing users into a complex tiered storage environment to deal with price-performance tradeoffs. Now the same storage building blocks can be configured for backup or production, virtualization or database, enabling a flexible one-tier-for-all architecture. Learn how organizations today are already leveraging Ethernet SAN as the storage backbone of their dynamic public and private cloud architectures.
Running Big Data Applications on Eucalyptus IaaS Cloud at Cloud Expo NY
Infrastructure as a Service cloud platforms enable enterprise to experience agility. Infrastructure agility is key to deploying Big Data platforms and applications. As datasets grow in size and numbers in the enterprise, there needs to be a place to store, secure and analyze the datasets. IaaS clouds like Eucalyptus, with the industry’s de facto standard IaaS API implementation, can be “the place” to enable enterprises to deploy Big Data analytics and applications.
Because all data is now in a centralized secure system, it becomes easier to enforce precise and well-documented security policies on sensitive data. The combination of flexibility, rapid automation, speed with which you can dynamically programmatically control infrastructure using Eucalyptus IaaS API, enable enterprises to develop, test and deploy new Big Data applications at a fraction of the cost that’s never been possible before.
US Government Saves $5.5B From Cloud
A recent study revealed that the government is saving around $5.5 billion a year since the shift to cloud, according to this CRN article. The study was created from interviews with 108 federal IT managers and CIOs and was published by MeriTalk Cloud Computing Exchange. The study also found that if they had been more aggressive in cloud adoption, the government could have saved $12 billion.

Public & Private Clouds: What Every Company Needs to Know at Cloud Expo NY
Deploying the right technology solutions can significantly increase a company’s productivity and profitability. However, for most companies today, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their technology infrastructure is a top priority and they’re now evaluating cloud computing as a viable option to meet their needs.
As companies and enterprises expand their technology footprints, they need to carefully weigh and understand the various infrastructure solutions available to them including both Public and Private Clouds. Buyers must beware – many of the supposed cloud options are dated, expensive, and consume huge amounts of human capital that in the end don’t result in cost savings.

Cloud: Use It? Sell It? Have Your Cake and Eat It Too at Cloud Expo NY
The rapid pace of technology adoption growth is driving application consumption. It impacts an ever-increasing spectrum of projects across IT organizations such as data center consolidation/expansion, application distribution, mobile workforce enablement, disaster recovery, backup and security policies, all of which effects the total cost of ownership technologies such as virtualization, VDI and web enablement and has helped improve the ways IT organizations can get more with less. But that’s not enough. A true automated, standardized cloud environment is the next step in truly utilizing the business of cloud computing
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Darryl Brown, Sr. VP Global Sales & Marketing at Appcore, will cover how everyone can use cloud. He will also discuss how cloud can be used and what the hidden costs are for enterprise IT.
