Wednesday, March 9 @ Cloud Connect 2011

March 9, 2011 By brenda michelson

Less blogging, more talking today at Cloud Connect.  I did capture the morning keynotes here. 

During the keynote, I was so busy listening to Neal Sample of eBay that I stopped typing.  However, the good folks at bitcurrent caught the high points.

In the afternoon, I took meetings with GigaSpaces, ScaleBase and Translattice. 

GigaSpaces has a compelling new enterprise PaaS enablement offering.  For enterprises concerned with lock-in on public PaaS, this could provide an answer.  There is choice in the development model (C++, Java, .Net) and the cloud platform (private, a variety of public flavors: Amazon, Rackspace, etc.)

ScaleBase is in beta with its first product, a database load balancer.  Definitely a real problem to be solved.  ScaleBase participated in the Cloud Connect Launch Pad.

Translattice is also in beta with its first product, which is a grid/mesh solution for resiliency.  This one was harder for me to envision.  But, the underlying technology is interesting.

Later in the day, I attended a Hybrid Cloud Panel.  Everyone agreed that a hybrid adoption model will be the norm, however what comprises that model is up for debate.  It was suggested that the Hybrid model is really “the pragmatic cloud”.  I can live with that. 

A point of contention in the panel was whether organizations, mostly enterprises, should “move” legacy to the cloud as-is.  In other words, should you follow Dave Linthicum’s “no crap in the cloud” rule.  No surprise, the companies that enable cloud switching say crap in the cloud is fine, if it still saves you money.  Most others, me included, say no. 

Oh, almost time to board.  Gotta go.

  • Pinning Down Cloud Computing – WSJ.com

    Is Cloud Computing a backlog killer?

    “But while improved cost-efficiency and greater business agility are attractive, what really excites cloud enthusiasts are the macro-economic possibilities.

    Many cloud evangelists believe that the phenomenon enables companies to boost overall productivity by allowing them to satisfy what Mr. Wardley describes as the “long tail” of unmet demand for IT resources found within most firms. This has led some experts to liken cloud computing to the Industrial Revolution.”

  • Event Processing Thinking: First comprehensive [field] survey on event processing

    “The first comprehensive survey on event processing was accepted for publication in ACM Computing Surveys, the leading avenue of publication for surveys. the survey was co-authored by GIANPAOLO CUGOLA and ALESSANDRO MARGARA and is available from the Politecenico di Milano webpage, the paper surveys the area from the days of active databases until current products. The paper view complex event processing, data streams and active databases as kind of information flow processing, and as such information flow contains both events and data, thus the scope of this survey is quite large.”

  • Event Processing Manifesto from Dagstuhl Seminar

    “The second Dagstuhl seminar on event processing took place in May 2010. This five-day meeting was oriented to work toward a comprehensive document that would explain event processing and how it relates to other technologies and suggest future work in terms of standards, challenges, and shorter-term research projects.
    The 45 participants came from academia and industry, some of them out of the event processing field. The teams continued the work after the conference and have summarized their findings in this document. The chapters were written by different teams and then edited for consistency. “

  • Maximum PC | The 15 Most Important Women in Tech History – Page 1

    “Very rarely do stories of women and technology vary in tone from the gender gap theme. Where are the women? Well, heck, we’ve been here all along – something we’ve recently pointed out in our Valentine’s Day piece about ENIAC. So, in honor of Women’s History Month and Ada Lovelace Day (March 24th), and all the women in tech, we’ve decided to pay homage by counting down the 15 Most Important Women in Tech History.”
