Business information provider UBM TechWeb, US, has announced that Cloud Connect 2011, a technology event for cloud computing, will look at where clouds are headed and how they will shape IT strategy in the coming decade. The event, scheduled for March 7-10, 2011, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, will deal with issues such as security, performance, security, storage and economics.
The Cloud Performance Summit will look at the challenges of running fast, reliable applications on on-demand infrastructure. The Conference also features a Performance and Monitoring track led by Hooman Beheshti, VP of Products at Strangeloop Networks, which addresses issues around capacity, availability, new problems like application sprawl and server hoarding.
Two workshops 'How to Operate Securely Using Cloud Computing' taught by Christopher Hoff, Director of Cloud & Virtualization Solutions at Cisco, and the 'CloudSec' track led by Steve Orrin, Director of Security Solutions at Intel, will dive deep into the new security models, risk profiles, and vulnerabilities of clouds.
Data and Storage gets the attention it is due with the workshop Data and Storage and the Cloud and a Conference track led by Jeremy Edberg, Operations Manager at Reddit. In many ways, clouds run on the back of new storage technologies, and they make the real-time analysis of massive data sets possible. Jeremy's speakers will look at real-world examples, post-SQL technologies like Cassandra, and the impact of utility computing on disaster recovery. An interactive Platforms and Ecosystems program run by Shlomo Swidler, founder of Orchestratus, will bring analysts, vendors, and end users together to debate standardisation, portability, and the risk of cloud lock-in.
Cloud Connect will also feature more than 60 companies and claims to be the premier event for cloud computing hardware, software and service providers to come together in one location.
