Developing, Deploying and Managing Apps in the Cloud
Cloud Computing has captured the imagination of both the IT Managers andthe Business Managers alike. Through this session I would like to bring an awareness of the importance of the Infrastructure layer (Datacenter) and the building blocks of IAAS and how by choosing the right Service Provider and leveraging the features and Services an efficient, reliable and highly available application can be built on the cloud. Application users can thus reap the benefits of agility, flexibility and Cost benefits coupled with on-demand scalability and distributed resiliency.

Visual PaaS - The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Disruption
In the past, IT did a lot of heavy lifting. We hand crafted platforms by combining various products like Databases, Middleware, App Servers, Web Servers, integration Servers, Portal Servers, Workflow Engines and so on. Not only did every enterprise create a unique combination, within the enterprise it was redundantly deployed for each of the applications or projects. In most cases, it ended up becoming a wish list approach and a blueprint in paper. This is or was called ‘Enterprise Architecture’ with all the hard-earned and well-intended effort. with the advent of Cloud, and a powerful Visual PaaS technology, this paradigm is making it's way back and will become one of the most dominant forces for the mass disruption in IT landscape. In this session, the speaker will talk about what Visual PaaS is, and how it is changing the paradigm.

Considerations for moving applications to the Cloud
As businesses transform and adapt to an ever increaing, demand to remain competitive, enterprises are looking at leveraging the capabilities of the Cloud to adapt to these new operating models. Many enterprises are already accessing business applications like Salesforce on the Cloud. The Cloud once viewed as a hyped word is now seeing its potential and its value being realized. Using an appropriate evalution framework enables organizations to identify which capabilities will benefit from Cloud strategies and which capabilities can be differentiated through internal technology development. Applications on the Cloud are expected to result in a shift from capital expenses to operation expenses bringing about a transformal ability to scale to a global usage with high computation power without worrying about outage to end customers.

Architecting the Cloud: How EAs should think about Cloud Computing
Most of the information about Cloud Computing today comes from vendors. As a result, it skews toward purchasing software and hardware, and away from making balanced decisions in the enterprise. The Enterprise Architect must counterbalance vendor spin and place Cloud Computing into the proper context: among the many deployment options available, with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. This session outlines the primary issues an EA must consider in order to make appropriate decisions about various Cloud-based options, how to put together a Cloud roadmap, and how best to communicate the position the Cloud should take in the greater context of agile Enterprise Architecture. Delegates who attend this session will learn: A vendor-independent context and definition for Cloud Computing, as well as Cloud service and deployment models
