Business Intelligence programs have been getting gradually better about delivering on their promise of instant analytics to support business decisions. Today’s BI platforms have more functionality than ever with dashboards, customizable reporting and more data flexibility. Yet only 15% of the knowledge workers who could be using BI are using these new tools. With such low penetration numbers, how intelligent are businesses really becoming? Before any BI initiative can begin improving sales results, optimizing operational expenses or otherwise saving the enterprise, it must be conceived, funded, assembled, configured and deployed. Even if budgets are allocated, businesses may wait months while all the other steps are taken, especially if infrastructure — servers, operating systems, database platforms, BI technology and all the resources needed to support them — isn't configuring and maintaining infrastructure has eased significantly. Because the entire hardware and software cycle is outsourced to a third-party provider — such as Amazon's EC2, Google's App Engine, and solutions from GoGrid and AppNexus — IT units can focus on applications and solutions. They can also ramp up and down quickly, without the delays and costs typically associated with hardware and software acquisition.
But while the payoff for delivering BI in the cloud may be obvious, going it alone into the cloud can be challenging. By cooperating with technology partners, developing a fully-functional BI stack — one that's truly affordable — is possible. Jaspersoft's work with other vendors to provide a cloud-based BI platform, available and consumed on demand, demonstrates how collaboration can transform cloud-based services from a pie-in-the-sky idea, to a practical application that's the perfect fit for the current economic environment. This willingness to work together, a deeply engrained aspect of the open source software industry, is the key to a successful cloud.

The benefits of private clouds are fairly well documented, but at the end of the day, the best way to gauge the value of this computing model within an enterprise is to jump in and start small. However, starting small doesn't mean sacrificing functionality like elasticity, self service, programmatic access, and automation. In this session, technology visionary and creator of the Java Virtual Machine at Sun Microsystems, Sheng Liang, will discuss how to set-up a small private cloud using commodity infrastructure. He will present the challenges and potential pitfalls associated with rolling your own cloud, and then explain how to evaluate cloud software platforms and select the right servers, storage, hypervisor, and networking infrastructure.

Cloud computing allows companies to perform feats of computation that would otherwise have been impossible, or at least prohibitively expensive. However, cloud computing has generally lacked the security features typically required by small and medium-sized enterprises. Likewise, in using public clouds, IT cedes control over key security parameters to the service provider.
Previously, computer network concepts could not easily be realized within the cloud, because the network itself was not virtualized - just the processing and storage - yet recent developments goe some way toward allowing the virtualization of this infrastructure. These technology advances, such as Trusted Boot Chains to enable or disable access to secure networks, Secure Enclaves to isolate process and data access, and IPsec to establish secure connections with data centers, all enable cloud-based resources to enjoy a greater level of security, to the point where integrating them with a local network of servers become feasible.
This session will cover how these models, architectures and technologies enable the integration of remote, virtual resources with both physical and virtual machines in the data center, giving customers the option use public and private clouds securely and scalably. This is part of a larger trend in cloud computing: creating secure connections between real and virtual machines.

Enterprises continue to expand the use of cloud computing, and particularly software-as-a-service applications (SaaS), to achieve operational performance enhancements and efficiencies. Implementation of these technologies introduces several challenges related to identity management, such as administration and delegation of account authentication and authorization. A new approach to identity is required to ensure the continued growth and success of cloud computing: we call this Identity 2.0. One of the most critical challenges is the need to accurately identify and manage users of these services. Yet at the same time, users are demanding greater control, convenience, and security. The challenges faced by a greater emphasis on the cloud are ones of both centralization and de-centralization: the centralization of computing resources combined with the decentralization of identity, authentication and authorization. Identity 2.0's challenge is how to cope with these two competing forces while avoiding the pitfalls of the past. During this session, Fran Rosch will address whether Identity 2.0 is prepared for an explosion of cloud computing, or do we need some other model?

Fear the cloud! That is the conventional thinking of the security industry. Their issue is the uncertainly surrounding virtualization because it is “in the cloud”, and therefore, beyond control. But is that really true? Rather than rehash the cloud computing models as defined by CSA and NIST, this session will break the models down into their tangible and auditable components (networks, servers, applications, third parties, etc). From there, we will discuss different types of assurance solutions available (including SAS 70, PCI, ISO 27001/2, etc.), what companies are doing today, and could be doing better tomorrow.

The advent of cloud computing has changed how companies market, sell, provision and deploy new services. However, one of the less understood issues in this environment, especially for those dependent on automatic payments (credit cards), is the idea of compliance and the parallel issue of customer ownership. How do you manage your services, and by extension your customers, if you don't own the infrastructure on which they reside? And if credit cards are a part of your payment landscape, then PCI compliance is a necessity, not an option. In this session, Vindicia CTO Brett Thomas will draw on his first-hand experiences relating to cloud-based compliance and highlight some of the technical and business process requirements that underlie these concepts.

As much as information technology has changed in the last 10 years, the next decade promises even more significant change. And as cloud technology becomes more prevalent, IT enterprises will be driven to reconsider the status quo around just about everything we know, including Physical Infrastructure, Virtualization, Automation, Service Management, and Security.
Cloud technology and virtualization of virtually everything means rethinking the economic models around physical infrastructure, the emergence of a new class of providers as well as a greater degree of standardization around virtualized OS & Middleware configurations. There are increasing expectations from consumers of data center services - instant provisioning & de-provisioning, just for openers. And with a new generation of workers that expect anytime, anywhere access to corporate data, securing your data outside of your data center walls has become a greater business imperative albeit far more difficult. In this session, Cloud Expo delegates will learn what you need to consider to ensure your enterprise’s foray into cloud computing successfully and securely meets the needs of your enterprise, today and tomorrow.

For a cloud to be considered enterprise, it must provide a high-availability solution that accounts for every aspect of an Enterprise IT Infrastructure environment, from development to production including provisioning and maintenance of servers, network, storage, security and software. The value of the enterprise cloud solution is simple: It enables businesses to adapt to the rapidly changing economic and technological environment with speed, excellence and efficiency while reducing the total cost of ownership. This session will introduce the Virtual Private Data Center concept, which provides the high-availability infrastructure, management, support, and multiple levels of QoS required to optimize the delivery of mission-critical applications in the enterprise cloud.

Cloud Computing is disrupting traditional software business models by changing how IT service gets delivered, as it enables a new paradigm in ubiquitous computing and the delivery of "enterprise class" software
and services through the Internet.
As companies search for ways to eliminate costs, reduce the complexity of their IT environments, and improve efficiency in their data centers, Cloud Computing will likely continue to gain prominence. Unlike other major technology industry shifts, such as the shift from Mainframe Computing to Client Server computing, which required massive investment, the Cloud Computing paradigm requires little incremental infrastructure spend, as enterprise computing can be provisioned over the Internet.
In light of this shift, this session will examine the current competitive and market landscape, and assess emerging trends affecting the Cloud Computing market. We also present a synopsis of current trends in Cloud
Computing and its relation to the current capital markets environment.

All the main buzzwords that have been making the rounds over past few years - ASP, SaaS, SOA, Virtualization, Grid Computing, Enterprise 2.0, etc. - have somehow been transmogrified into the single term "Cloud Computing."
We all know how Amazon took the lead in introducing AWS (Amazon Web Services) way back in 2003, then brought in Storage as a Service concept via S3 (Simple Shared Storage). It also introduced EC2 (Elastic Computing Cloud), where Infrastructure as a Service became viable. But what about the other 249 players in the fast-emerging Cloud ecosystem? What are their specialties? What are the newcomers offering? And what about older vendors like IBM? How do the “pure cloud” vendors like Google, Amazon, and SalesForce.com differ from everyone else? What are the lingering unresolved issues - and who is working on solving them?

As storage becomes more affordable, and large-scale data acquisition becomes increasingly common, there is interest from organizations to exploit these massive data sets for business analytics and enterprise-wide reporting. However, a number of issues need to be addressed:
- Information is stored in distributed silos with multiple formats, including databases, text files, spread sheets, etc.
- Traditional data warehouses are limited in scalability, lack flexibility, and tend to be proprietary and expensive
- It can take weeks to add a new data source to a custom datawarehouse, create a new dashboard, or change a hierarchy
This session will examine cloud computing approaches for organizations to run business analytics on hundreds of terabytes of data from multiple sources (operational data, finance data, sales data, as well as external data on markets and customers), and enable business analysts to do rapid custom analytics and real time queries without relying on IT programmers to build reports and dashboards.

By consolidating low priority applications onto shared resources, virtualization has enabled IT organizations to cut costs and improve efficiency, leverage new IT investment, and improve service. As companies advance through the stages of server virtualization adoption, they need an infrastructure-wide analytical systems management solution to provide visibility and control to troubleshoot and assure performance, optimize performance and capacity, plan server and storage requirements, and manage service levels. Organizations that do not advance operationally through the virtualization stages will not be able to leverage private cloud computing. In this session, Rich Corley, Founder and CTO of Akorri will analyze the steps IT managers need to take while they optimize their virtualization environment including: troubleshooting, optimization, capacity planning and service level management.

Composite applications enable IT to provide higher quality, agile solutions with greater ROI by enabling enterprises to build only what is core to their business, but they also present IT organizations with additional performance management challenges. While core business functionality and databases will still typically be provided by resources located in the data center, composite applications are increasingly composed of services provided from multiple sources, many of which are outside the direct control of the application's owner. To prevent "finger pointing," tools which gives IT end-to-end application visibility from data-center to end-users' browsers, are essential to deploy composite applications. Beginning with use cases and real world examples, this session will detail how IT operations, and increasingly IT architects and developers, can build and deploy composite applications with manageability as their foremost concern.

Many people believe you can take traditional identity and security practices, throw them in a cloud environment, and expect everything to work just fine. Not so! Businesses taking advantage of cloud computing should utilize cloud security approaches that support sharing of roles, policies, and workflows, rather than merely providing single sign-on. In a cloud environment, workloads (combinations of applications, middleware, and operating systems) can be easily shifted from one locale to another to optimize performance as needed. With these rapid shifts, it's critical to maintain proper regulatory and security standards. For cloud computing to flourish in the enterprise environment, businesses need assurances that they'll still be able to securely manage their people and workloads, regardless of location.
In this session, you will learn about the necessary security measures that should be taken to ensure that your data is secure in the cloud. In addition, you will discover how one particular method, annexing, can be employed to help support your regulatory compliance efforts
