By now, most technologists are sold on the fundamentals of cloud computing. It's a realization of the last 20 years of architecture development. For architects and developers alike, the economics of the cloud mean that "we finally get to do what we've been drawing on whiteboards for years." Companies large and small are taking advantage of the cloud's utility model. What used to cost $20+ million can now be done for $500k on Amazon Web Services. This provides unprecedented opportunity - for new and established companies alike.
In this presentation Roman Stanek, is a technology visionary who has spent the past fifteen years building world-class technology companies, will talk about what it means to be 'born on the cloud.' Specifically Roman will share with delegates his thoughts on how to use cloud computing as a technical design center; how to take advantage of the economics of cloud computing in building and operating cloud services; how to dramatically change customer adoption; and how to plan for the technical and operational scale that cloud computing makes possible.
About the Speaker: Roman Stanek is a technology visionary who has spent the past fifteen years building world-class technology companies. Currently Founder & CEO of Good Data, which provides collaborative analytics on demand, he previously co-founded first NetBeans, now a part of Sun Microsystems and one of the leading Java IDEs, and then and Systinet, now owned by Hewlett-Packard and the leading SOA Governance platform on the market..
Cloud Computing – The Next Generation of Virtualization
Early industry conversations have focused on external, public cloud infrastructure, often focused on a new breed of applications. However, the reality is that businesses don’t have the luxury of throwing away today’s applications in favor of new architectures. The most pragmatic approach involves taking a first step, that of turning today’s datacenter into an internal cloud. This enables the bridging of internal resources with available external resources, helping businesses achieve the full flexibility and benefits of cloud computing. The result is in essence a virtual private cloud.

SYS-CON's International Virtualization Conference & Expo series, now in its third year, is the leading event covering the booming market of Virtualization for the enterprise. This industry-leading event now comes to Europe, and Virtualization Conference Europe 2009 will be co-located in Prague with our Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009. This combined event will surely deliver the #1 i-technology educational and networking opportunity of the year for leading Virtualization technology providers.
Virtualization Journal seeks to demystify virtualization and help IT professionals and Data Center Managers to understand fully the benefits of virtualization and to help remove the confusion and provide assistance in comprehending the similarities, differences and how they?re related as well understand more fully the functionality, benefits and challenges of each approach.
In other words, VMware’s server density is higher. Boles suggests this means that customers should be “assessing virtualisation on a ‘cost per application’ basis. VM density has a sign
