Neil Cohen. Optimizing the Cloud for Enterprise Class Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing Conference - Cloud Slam 2009.
Abstract. IT executives are being asked to evaluate the 'cloud' to improve business agility while lowering operating and capital costs. Whether for a web-enabled business processes, storage, SaaS, and now cloud-computing - everyone is talking about how the cloud presents new opportunities for delivering enterprise applications and services. Yet very little is known about the "cloud" itself. How does it work? How does it already play a role today? What new challenges are introduced in-terms of application performance, scale, availability and security - and what impact does it have on cloud computing services? From this presentation, you will learn about the cloud, the state of the Internet and techniques that can be employed outside of the data-center to optimize the cloud itself and enable cloud computing for the enterprise.
