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

Building scalable web applications on Amazon Web Services
Abstract ¬ Amazon Web Services provide software developers and businesses with cloud-based infrastructure services that are inexpensive, reliable, scalable, comprehensive and flexible. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a service that provides resizable compute capacity (virtualized server instances) that auto-scales based on workload (as usage goes up and down). This session introduces the EC2 platform to web developers and demonstrates how they can leverage it to build highly scalable and available web applications. Attend this session to learn how Cloud enables the web developers to build the next generation web applications.

Deploying and managing an on-premise PaaS Cloud
In this talk, the speaker will explain the advantages of Platform as a Service (PaaS) over other existing paradigms. For many financial and medical organizations, it may be mandatory to keep data within the control of the organization. This builds the case for an on-premise cloud. PaaS today allows organizations with sensitive data to manage the data as well as develop some very powerful applications based on the platform. However, PaaS is not without its problems today. The speaker will try to explain to the audience what the problems are and how they can possibly me minimized.
