Enterprise IT's Two Biggest
Game Changers Under One Roof
– Cloud Computing & Big Data |
| |
Join Us at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley in November
|
|
Recent IDC research shows that worldwide spending on cloud services will grow almost threefold, reaching $44.2 billion by 2013. And a recent Gartner report predicts that the volume of enterprise data overall will increase by a phenomenal 650% over the next five years.
These two unstoppable enterprise IT trends, Cloud Computing and Big Data, will converge in New York at 11th Cloud Expo – being held November 5-8, 2012, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
As at every Cloud Expo, we are offering in Silicon Valley a vast selection of technical and strategic breakout sessions, General Sessions, Industry Keynotes, our signature discussion "Power Panels" and a bustling Expo floor complete with two busy Demo Theaters so that as a delegate you can kick the tires of solutions and offerings, and discuss one-on-one with all the leading Cloud and Big Data players what they are offering and how to make use of it in your particular situation.
Just as Cloud and Big Data solutions will be side by side on the Expo floor, so they are in the conference program. We're including below a tiny sampler of the breakouts you can look forward to...and if you look at the welter of company logos at the very bottom you'll get a foretaste of the hundreds of companies in attendance on the Expo floor.
The surest way to get yourself and your company fully "Cloud-ready" and to understand why Big Data is going mainstream is by attending Cloud Expo 2012 Silicon Valley.
|
See you in November! |

| The Top Keynotes, the Best Sessions, a Rock Star Faculty and the Most Qualified Delegates of ANY Comparable Event! |

In the most transformative technology shift since the personal computer and the Internet, it's apparent that migrating business to the cloud has reached a tipping point in 2012, where it is no longer a trend but rather an absolute business requirement.
Cloud Expo Silicon Valley will feature 175+ sessions from a rock star conference faculty chosen from among the leading industry players in the cloud computing and Big Data worlds.
All the main layers of the Cloud ecosystem will be represented - the infrastructure players, the platform providers, and those offering applications. The high-energy event is a must-attend for senior technologists from CEOs on down – including CIOs, CTOs, directors of infrastructure, VPs of technology, IT directors and managers, network and storage managers, network engineers, enterprise architects, and communications and networking specialists.

| Cloud Expo's Cloud Factpoints Round-Up |
| |
 Use cases of cloud computing have come a long way since 2008, when for example Animoto was able to grow its user base from 5,000 to 750,000 in just three days, thanks to Amazon's cloud services. |
| |
Now the cloud is used by mainstream companies, organizations, and even national governments to leverage the power of data on demand at a scale and pace never seen before in the history of the Internet. |
| |
According to the IBM's 2011 Tech Trends Report (November 2011) 75% of respondents said that over the next 2 years their organizations will begin to build cloud infrastructure and in the next 24 months developing new applications will be the top cloud adoption activity, overtaking the current top investment areas of virtualization and storage. |
| |
Huge cloud-driven opportunities for wealth creation exist today - but the race is to the swift. The cloud computing industry is one in which even a few months can make all the difference. |

Jun. 18, 2012 06:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,862 | By Roger Strukhoff  Cloud computing has crossed a Rubicon of sorts, and is now being embraced by a majority of enterprise IT shops – at least according to attendees and vendors at last week's Cloud Expo in New York.
I remember interviewing Hal Stern (late of Sun and Oracle) a couple of years ago at the event, when he said that people were asking him “why should I do cloud?” rather than “what is cloud?” This year, the question is “how should I do cloud?”
There is a mad dash among big vendors, for one thing. ...

Jun. 12, 2012 06:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,421 | By Elizabeth White  Very few trends in IT have generated as much buzz as cloud computing. In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Citrix VP Peder Ulander will cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing. The bulk of the conversation will focus on the open source software that can be used to build compute clouds (infrastructure-as-a-service) and the complementary open source management tools that can be combined to automate the management of cloud computing environments.

Jun. 12, 2012 05:00 AM EDT Reads: 3,955 | By Elizabeth White  One of the most widely asked questions about Big Data today is, “How do we get valuable analytics from Big Data?” Or, how do we get the prize? As data continues to grow exponentially, so does the variety of data (structured and unstructured) coming from humans, machines and applications. In order to pull valuable information from it all, proper data gathering is critical, and the output of that data needs to be timely and accurate, with a flexible method of delivery.

Reads: 5,868  By Larry Bettino Did you know that ninety percent of the data in the world has been created in the last two years? Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

Reads: 33,614  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.
