Develop Your Strategy and Roadmap for Cloud Computing



U.S. Chief Information Officer, Vivek Kundra, stated on December 9, 2010 in the IT reform plan, "The shift to "light technologies," that is, cloud services, which can be deployed rapidly, and shared solutions will result in substantial cost savings, allowing agencies to optimize spending, and allow¬ing agencies to reinvest in their most critical mission needs. Agencies must focus on consolidating existing data centers, reducing the need for infrastructure growth by implementing a "Cloud First" policy for services, and increasing their use of available cloud and shared services."

The cost and speed advantages of cloud computing are clear and compelling. But how do you actually move to cloud computing? Please join us to discover a practical approach to building your cloud foundation.

During this event, cloud experts will share real-world best practices, reference architectures, detailed customer case studies, and more. You'll learn how to transform IT into a superior service provider with a strategy and roadmap for building, deploying, and managing an enterprise cloud.

Keynote: Roadmap to Enterprise Cloud Computing

As enterprise adoption of cloud computing accelerates, driven by compelling advantages of higher efficiency and lower costs, rapid deployment and elastic scalability, organizations must have a strategy and plan for moving to the cloud. How can organizations get started on the evolution to cloud computing? This session explores how enterprise IT can move toward a cloud computing model, building on a foundation of virtualization, engineered systems and management automation.

Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud: Revolutionizing Data Center Consolidation

Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud is a complete system built with hardware and software engineered together for extreme performance, reliability, and scalability for the widest possible range of enterprise mission-critical workloads. Come to this session to learn all about Exalogic—what it is and how it will revolutionize your data center through the highest performance and dramatic application consolidation.

Mixed Workload Management for Oracle Exadata

The Oracle Database Machine transformed the data warehousing industry. Now, with the introduction of Oracle Exadata X2-2 and X2-8, Oracle is building on that success to deliver even faster performance, and the flexibility to consolidate data warehousing and OLTP applications on the same machine. This presentation is your opportunity to learn how the Sun Oracle Database Machine, with its unique Flashfire technology, delivers an extreme performance, scalable and fault tolerant system for all your database applications.

Private Clouds: Opportunity to Improve IT Security and Lower Costs

Concerns over security and compliance have made public clouds a challenge for many organizations. By contrast, private clouds represent an opportunity to improve information security and compliance. Private cloud database consolidation allows organizations to know where all their sensitive data resides and reduce the scope of data security initiatives. Similarly, by deploying an innovative standards-based identity management services platform, organizations can rapidly consolidate security functions across applications. Private clouds enable deployment of centralized security infrastructures that drive down the overall cost of safeguarding data, applications, and addressing regulatory compliance.

Integrating Your On-Premise Applications with Cloud Applications

Companies are increasingly considering public cloud computing solutions, including Oracle On Demand and other Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. The adoption of this new breed of applications introduces a technological divide between privately-owned datacenters and third-party public clouds, resulting in an array of new challenges to overcome and a new level of management complexity to control. Attend this session to learn how customers can leverage Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies in BPM, SOA, data integration, and identity management to seamlessly bridge this divide and continue on their path of business flexibility and transformation even in the most hybrid environments.

Breaking Cloud Security Barriers with Identity Management

As a growing number of businesses look to leverage cloud applications, concerns about the security risks of cloud computing are gaining spotlight. In a recent survey, 87% said that security was the most critical barrier facing the adoption of cloud in their enterprise. Cloud computing introduces some significant security challenges related to proliferation of identity silos, access management complexities, and regulatory considerations. This session will showcase how some recent innovations in Identity Management can help organizations build reliable security for private and public clouds while ensuring sustainable compliance and rapid time-to-value.
