 Adaptivity
"We believe that our Blueprint4ITTM Design Suite will radically transform the business of IT and create a sustainable competitive advantage for our clients and partners." – Tony Bishop, Founder & CEO
Adaptivity is transforming the "art" of applying information technology into a design science for the purpose of aligning business and IT execution. The intersection of business with IT is directly linked to how business processes execute across their value chain and how IT systems are engineered to support this execution flow.
Adaptivity has created a repeatable design formula based on hard data to make smart design optimization decisions. Our software platform incorporates the multiple dimensions of science (economics, physics, and management science) to systematically model, build and run optimized IT systems. The software documents these decisions in the form of tailored blueprints.
The software creates “Tailored Blueprints” (i.e., Just like constructing or renovating a building with architecture, structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, detailed in the blueprint) which prescriptively (think Yellow Book Guides for Dummies) outline what changes are necessary to optimize or build the IT system for optimal business execution performance.
 Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Built upon the same world-class technology that powers Amazon.com, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides businesses with a reliable, easy-to-scale, low-cost computing platform “in the cloud.” Companies of all sizes, from all around the globe use AWS to build websites, store data, manage business processes and more.
 AppZero
AppZero software virtualizes Windows and Unix server applications for nearly instant provisioning as services across a network, on any server (physical or virtual), in the datacenter or in the cloud. First to market with a toolset for virtualizing server-side applications, AppZero has pioneered the Virtual Application Appliance (VAA), in which an application is encapsulated with all of its dependencies -- but without any operating system (OS) component. The result is server applications that are 100% portable with zero footprint and performance near native levels. For enterprises and ISVs intrigued by the capital-free potential of pay-as-you-go-computing, AppZero provides a smooth on-ramp to the cloud without any cloud lock-in. Requiring no modification to existing applications, AppZero makes it technically easy and economically sensible to explore and exploit cloud computing.

Microsoft - Booth #119
Microsoft cloud services mean freedom for businesses. The freedom to access the technology you want, where and when you want it. The freedom to take advantage of the latest technology as a capital expense, or an operational one. The freedom to focus on running your business—not running IT systems.
Microsoft cloud services are Microsoft by extension: Giving you the ability to make full use of the same Microsoft technologies you already know and trust, on a pay-as-you-go model. For a single department or an entire global organization. On-premises, offpremises, or a combination of both, depending on your business needs.

Articles & Feature Stories By Liz McMillan  “There is a common view among media and analysts that the cloud computing market will see rapid growth in the foreseeable future,” observed Alex Mei, Executive VP and CMO of OCZ Technology Group, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. “Companies will need to adapt quickly to these fast changing conditions as cloud computing continues to mature to meet the demands of IT and ultimately end users,” Mei concluded.
Cloud Computing Journal: Agree or disagree? – "While the IT savings aspect is compelling, the strongest benefit of cloud computing is how it enhances business agility."
Alex Mei: Agree. While driving down the costs associated with IT is certainly an important factor of cloud computing, the ability to create new ways for users to interact and access their data over the cloud is changing the very way that businesses can operate. The fact that cloud co...

Feb. 23, 2012 09:30 AM EST Reads: 393 | By Maureen O'Gara  HP turned in its fiscal Q1 numbers Wednesday and they ain’t pretty.
Except for software, something HP ain’t exactly famous for, the details are a litany of declining sales.
Revenues from its Personal System Group dropped 15% en toto, its commercial PC sales off 7% and its consumer PC sales off a worse 25%. Desktops were down 19%, notebooks 18%.
Printer revenues, its traditional goldmine, dropped 7% with commercial off 5% and consumer off 15%.
Industry standard server revenues dropped 11%, Business Critical Systems were down 27%, storage was down 6%. Networking revenues were flat.
Software revenues, including what its mammoth Autonomy acquisition contributed, were up 30% because licenses were up 12%, support 22% and services a happy 108%.
With all the down arrows it’s hard to understand how HP managed to come pretty close to Wall Street’s downwardly adjusted revenue expe... Feb. 23, 2012 09:00 AM EST Reads: 355 | By Liz McMillan  As more enterprises are adopting clouds, the nature of cloud computing is changing. Previously, clouds were used to test applications or for non-mission critical applications. Today, enterprises are using clouds for cost-saving advantages and launching more mission critical applications that have defined performance needs.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Eric Shepcaro, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Telx, will discuss how distributed computing has many advantages. It would allow organizations to have a cloud at various data centers instead of one cloud at one datacenter. Costs are reduced significantly since one big Internet pipe is not needed.

A recent survey of 1200 companies with 500+ employees showed that 59% had server virtualization in production or pilot. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Dave Asprey, VP of Cloud Security at Trend Micro, will explain the types of situations when you should consider not virtualizing some of your applications.

Feb. 23, 2012 08:45 AM EST Reads: 1,017 | By Liz McMillan  The Platform as a Service (PaaS) market grew out of the fact that no other cloud solution addressed the ever-increasing complexity of managing and writing modern applications: no frameworks, libraries or APIs alone could tackle the sticky application engineering challenges. Unfortunately, PaaS 1.0 is what people are now seeing as strictly a “tool” to easily deploy apps to the infrastructure in a self-service way with little or no differentiation among offerings. However, in order for PaaS to reach its full potential and become the modern day abstraction layer for software delivery, we must enter the PaaS 2.0 phase.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Sinclair Schuller, Co-Founder & CEO of Apprenda, will explain how organizations are currently using PaaS, where PaaS is evolving to, and highlight best practices to maximize the value of existing investments when adopting ...

Reads: 30,146  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.

Reads: 8,501  By Pat Romanski Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive, Hbase, Lucene, Solr? The only thing growing faster than enterprise data these days is the landscape of big data tools. These tools, which are designed to help organizations turn big data into opportunities, are gaining deeper insight into massive volumes of information. A recent Gartner report predicts that enterprise data will increase by 650% over the next five years, which means that the time is now for IT decision makers to determine which big data tools are the best - and most cost-effective - for their organization.

The World's Most Influential Blogs By Lori MacVittie  The conflation of “pay-as-you-grow” with “on-demand” tends to cause confusion in the realm of networking and hardware. This is because of the way in which networking vendors have attempted to address the demand of organizations to pay only for what you use and to expand on-demand. The premise is tha... Feb. 23, 2012 09:30 AM EST Reads: 234 | By Nicos Vekiarides  While the notion of Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) may seem a bit far-fetched, Shadow IT, where users essentially bring unauthorized cloud services into business environments, has become an increasing corporate concern as highlighted in a recent CFO.com article. The risk of Shadow IT is that it comprom... Feb. 23, 2012 06:00 AM EST Reads: 494 | By Lori MacVittie  What happens when technology converges? When old meets new?
A fine example of what might happen is what has happened in the carrier space as voice and data services increasingly meet on the same network, each carrying unique characteristics forward from the older technology from which they sprung. ... Feb. 23, 2012 12:35 AM EST Reads: 575 | By Lori MacVittie  For many of the same reasons IPv6 migration is moving slower than perhaps it should given the urgent need for more IP addresses (to support all those cows connecting to the Internet) is the sheer magnitude of such an effort.

One of the first things to go when performance is unacceptable is a security solution. This isn’t just an IT phenomenon either; consider how many of us have disabled endpoint security solutions like a... Feb. 22, 2012 09:56 AM EST Reads: 1,165 | By JP Morgenthal  Let's face it right now the cloud is pretty immature. The level of automation and management of these environments are analogous to the early assembly lines, but it won't be this way long. This is not the industrial revolution and it moves at a wicked fast pace. Before we know it the next generation... Feb. 22, 2012 09:45 AM EST Reads: 1,255 | By Udayan Banerjee  To build and maintain applications required to reach out to you customer through Mobile & Smart phone is expensive.
Why? Because of platform proliferation. Because of quick technology obsolescence. (See this)
Management perception compounds the problem.

Feb. 22, 2012 07:48 AM EST Reads: 527 | By Jim Kaskade  Is Big Data destined for only the top 3,000 companies worldwide? What about medium or small companies who are equally as data-driven?
