The second phase in hosting was exemplified by a shift to a broader set of services in the mass-market, driven by virtualization and automation... the foundation for what will become hosting 3.0, or the next phase in cloud computing. However, the hosting market is simultaneously splintering between public, private and enterprise cloud solutions, creating larger challenges for hosting providers to facilitate to these disparate needs. This brings with it a decision point for hosters: what is needed to adequately compete? How to create cost effective yet resilient and secure infrastructure solutions? Where to invest, who to acquire or how to be acquired? Join Antonio as he describes the State of the hosting industry, the simultaneous looming threats and opportunities that Cloud computing brings to the hosting market, and how to deal with them.

APIs and Beyond - Open Distribution PlatformsMartin Tantow
Not having an API today is like not having a website in the 90s. Open APIs are a no-brainer in the IT landscape of 2010. However I'd like to share some thoughts on what I believe is next. Will we still be talking about APIs, API management, etc in a few years from now? What role do APIs play in a multi-channel distribution play?
‘Uberification’ – The Cloud as an Agent for Digital TransformationCloud Cruiser, Inc
As the so-called Uberification of industries and work forces continues apace, we examine how the cloud industry can emulate or take advantage of Uber’s model to increase the rate of adoption and to cement the role of the cloud as an agent for digital transformation.
“What the hell is cloud computing?” After a year, those infamous words of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison still resonate. The definition of cloud computing is hazy at best, and many companies remain wary of the technology over concerns about infrastructure, security and regulation.
Cloud computing has unique potential to save the enterprise cost, reduce complexity and provide highly available service to the end-user or client. With such compelling benefits, companies should look to understand cloud better—what it is, what it isn’t and what it will be.
In this webinar, Yankee Group analysts Agatha Poon and Camille Mendler define cloud computing and explore the capabilities and challenges of the technology.
The purpose of this first edition of the Market Trends Report is to shed light on the way digital technologies reshape trade finance, a sector which often does not get as much publicity as B2C financial services.
Given that disruption often comes from adjacent sectors or from the application of an existing technology to a new field, we found it essential to begin with a broad analysis of the latest trends before zooming in progressively on financial services and on trade finance specifically.
The report is structured around four chapters, starting from the general core techno trends, and converging towards the changes impacting the trade finance ecosystem:
1- Core techno trends, business model and social changes
2- Disrupted industries, changes in the way we live and work
3- FinTech disrupt (and partner with) banking and insurance
4- Conclusion: Trade Finance is also ripe for disruptive innovations

Social Enterprise: Trust; Vision; RevolutionPeter Coffee
Becoming a social enterprise is not a technical evolution, but a business transformation. Technologies enable it, but only a cultural commitment will achieve it. Doing it is not optional, unless going out of business is also considered an OK option.
As the world continues to become digital and mobile, the communications ecosystem is being disrupted. Rather than trying to defend an obsolete business model, operators need to change their point of view and consider the broader possibilities being created by this very transformation as it disrupts every other industry.
The characteristics of the new environment are such, that the current "cambrian explosion" of apps will continue with no end in sight - especially as new technologies such as wearables, connected car/home, the internet of things and even implantables appear on the scene.
To support the massive proliferation of apps, a new breed of players is appearing: the Communications-as-a-Service Platform providers (CaaS). They will do to the communications stack what Google Maps did for maps or Paypal for payments: simplify it to the point where any developer is able to integrate it into their application with just a few lines of code.
In this new world, operators need to partner with CaaS providers to fully participate in the tremendous value creation opportunity, leveraging the strength of the startup world with their own, to unleash the hidden potential in their own capabilities and infrastructure.
Unlocking the Cloud -- The Case for Open StandardsHostingCon
The cloud era calls for industry standards, but hundreds of cloud hosting providers and proprietary technology platforms have divided the market. How do we create a common, open cloud platform that both hosting providers and enterprises can freely leverage? In this session, you will hear from both an enterprise user and hosting provider who are deploying OpenStack, the massively scalable, open source cloud operating system and emerging open industry standard.
Jim Curry, GM of Rackspace Cloud Builders, will kick off the session with a brief update on OpenStack, the fastest growing open source cloud community, and then introduce two real-world users who will each share their use case with OpenStack. Troy Klein, Staff Hosting Engineer for Sony Computer Entertainment America, will discuss his experiences rolling out an OpenStack private cloud proof of concept and evaluating alternative cloud solutions. Ben Cherian, GM of Emerging Technologies at DreamHost, will also share how his company is leveraging OpenStack and participating in the open source community.
Strong Host Security Policies are Good BusinessHostingCon
Inevitably, the actions of some clients create legal issues that need to be addressed by hosts quickly and cost effectively. It is essential to have good hosting policies and procedures in place to deal with the legal and regulatory issues arising from operating a hosting business. Failure to implement good hosting practices can be disruptive and expensive for both hosts and their clients. Hosts must deal with a variety of law enforcement issues over time, ranging from cyber-crime to potential law suits.
With the increasing usage of smart phone devices (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia and tablet devices) among system administrators and datacenter workers to manage their deployment footprint, many trends can be observed by looking into usage patterns of these workers to find identify inefficiencies for further improvements. Caleb take an in-depth look into both industry patterns as well as usage trends in order to figure out what is grabbing user attention in the hosting industry.
Situation Normal, Everything Must ChangeHostingCon
In today’s computing world, it can often feel like we are drowning in wave after wave of new trends. This sea of concepts are simply the evolution of our industry from a product to a service based economy. Using the example of cloud computing, this talk will examine the evolution of technology, the management challenges this brings, why the modern firm needs both order and chaos and how it’s always a case of “situation normal, everything must change”.

This session will include three fact based tutorials on DMCA, hacking, subpoenas, HIPPA/HITECH and FTC rules, as well as the opportunity to ask questions of prominent hosting executives who understand both the mechanics and value of compliance.
What Do New TLDs Mean for your Hosting Business?HostingCon
Are you ready to sell New Top Level Domains like .WEB, .MUSIC or .SPORT? How about obtaining your own company's .BRAND? Thanks to ICANN's New Top Level Domain program, hundreds of new domain name extensions like these will soon be a reality. Eisner will offer an update on the timelines and processes involved in the introduction of new domain extensions, examine how these new extensions will change Internet users’ perceptions of what is found to the “right of the dot” and explain how to ensure your hosting business is prepared to profit from them.
Keeping the Trolls at Bay: Effective Legal Strategies for your BusinessHostingCon
Many hosting companies are concerned about the time, effort and complexity involved in getting their legal house in order. Significant misconceptions about litigation, contracts and abuse often keep these businesses from taking even basic steps to protect their businesses. In this session experienced technology lawyers, David Snead and Jeff Gordon, will help companies learn how to create and structure their business in a way to minimize legal costs and enhance the value of their company.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Facebook: It claimed the second spot in May by notching up 26.8 million visitors, compares with Microsoft's 26.2 million users (Google had 33.9 million)) who accessed Redmond's online estate of MSN, Windows Live and Bing last month. UKOM/Nielsen said that there had been a steady growth of older people using Facebook since 2009, with an 84 per cent increase of 50 to 64 year-olds and an 81 per cent increase in over-65s. An Essex-based security firm has offered to “house-sit” Facebook and Twitter pages, to prevent burglars becoming aware that its clients’ houses might be vacant. The social networking site saw its British users reach 6.1m in May according to a poll by UKOM/Nielsen as allegations regarding Ryan Giggs and others surfaced 2) IOC is out to protect its own reputation and the 'image rights' of commercial sponsors. Bankrate, Inc. and its subsidiaries own and operate an Internet-based consumer banking and personal Chinese social networking site Renren , which priced at $14 on May, is showing signs of life after a steep fall; the stock today is up 41 cents, or 6.6%, to $6.64
Everybody has an idea of the basics of hosting servers, even partitioned ones, with a highly volume based, server-oriented, revenue model. Phase two was characterized by the shift to more of a services focus in the mass-market, by means of virtualization and automation deployment. Phase 3 in hosting is represented by a higher layer of web services that are more resilient and secure than previous generation, and with a greater toolset and ecosystem, to appeal to a broader audience of business-class users
The reason behind the need for the third phase in hosting is to keep up with the changing demands in the business place.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, it’s prudent to step back and take a look at what has changed in the market..
Breaking this down by company size – the gap is biggest between 1-10 employees (13% gap), then down to 4% from 11-100 employees and opens up again above 1000 employees. 40% are from 1-100 20% from 100-1000 40% above 1000 employees (which all represents how businesses are split up in the US).
Moody's and Standard & Poor's have threatened to lower the United States' AAA credit rating because of Washington's inability to legislate an effective debt reduction package. Wide differences continue to remain between the two political parties on how to resolve the debt reduction issue. Thinking about your company's overall capital budget for 3rd Quarter 2011, has the debt reduction impasse and continuing controversy caused your company to make any adjustments to their capital budget over the past 90 days? When we asked corporate respondents whether the debt reduction impasse had caused their company to make adjustments to their capital budget, 16% reported their 3rd Quarter cap budget had Adjusted Lower over the past 90 days because of this issue. Only 1% said their cap budget had adjusted higher. It should be noted that two-thirds (69%) said the debt reduction impasse has had No Impact on their 3rd Quarter cap budget and another 14% said they Don’t Know . But when 16% of companies say they are adjusting their capital spending budgets lower because of an issue it means that it is having a serious impact – especially in the midst of a tenuous post-recession recovery. Of course, there are other contributing factors to the slowdown in capital spending. For example, as mentioned earlier there was a significant increase in the percentage reporting a general slowdown in business conditions as one factor in their company’s software spending decisions. But the ChangeWave survey results clearly show the debt reduction impasse and continuing controversy in Washington – in and of itself – is contributing to the U.S. economic slowdown. The issue is no longer simply what might possibly happen August 2nd; rather the survey findings show that damage to the U.S. economy has already occurred.
The point is that there is an expectation of consuming everythign when you’ re not at work is now being relayed to the business sector. It is not about automation – the poitn is around consuming things has changed. Consumerization fo IT is the single most important device – to ensure they are succesufl. Comsumers enjoy better IT than they do at work. I can then tee up the panel about CIOs exaclty how they have done this in their own worlds. We regard the consumerization of enterprise IT as the most important device organizations now have for delivering IT successfully – i.e. that it’s accepted and used. The trouble is that today, consumers enjoy better IT than they do at work. This has to change.
Despite the doom and gloom of the economy, there has consistenly been a desire over the past 5 quarters to use cloud computing.
SMB’s largely see cloud computing as decreasing capital spending on other IT assets
06/17/09 But as people move to cloud computing platforms – where are they going? Not volume of hits – but volume of these web sites.
Most of you hosters play in this IaaS world. The pie is still big enoguh, but are there other opportunities?
Hosters need to thing about the larger SaaS opportunity, either directly or in partnership with others. Similarly when asking about the spending going forward, SMBs show the same patterns.
IaaS revenue has been growing >100% per year – to slow to 60%
Just to keep cloud computing in the context of hosting and colo services- traditional hosting is still a great piece of the pie, but growing in single digits compared to double digit cloud computing growth.
Getting back to SMB’s it is clear they want ot spend on cloud computing and not software apps – even if the servers are rented in a hosting environment. Hence we see more and more saas requirement.
Everything else is roughly equal, but there is a significant upswing in CRM softwareand SaaS purchases, and a downward swing in ERP software purchasing with 15% of business wanting to spnd less of ERP software and 8% say more. Putting These Findings in Context. As the following chart shows, the percentage saying they’ll spend less on business software (especially CRM) going forward is greater than the percentage projecting more spending. The trend in CRM has been for the last 18 motnsh with more companies chosing to send more (14% oin our last survey) vs those wanting to spend less (9%).

Amazon has reduced pricing for e-commerce hosting (by 60%) and add new services The Danger of IaaS commoditization Can you Play the Price game? Is your cloud platform over or under-subscribed? Dangers to both Amazon offers per hour and pre-booked instances lower than dedicated servers Can You compete? Los of other new entrants, can you afford to play at the price level? Rax has gross margins of over 28% and Net margins of 7% - that is razor thin?! Under-subscribed: Cloud platforms are not yet utilized on a full scale basis so your economics don’t work properly. If you’re oversubscribed – it’s like the airlines (as our friends from Enki said) – you start to run into problems. Microsoft BPOS price reduction Azure launch Partnership with Intel Google Wave launch Apps getting more channel friendly Intent to build app marketing place Amazon Private Cloud service Reserve instance pricing on EC2 Overall price drop Apple MobileMe quietly gaining share App Store drives mobile Cloud adoption Partnership is key Aside from ongoing R&D investment in China, Microsoft has made measurable headway in a number of ASEAN (the Association of South East Asian Nations) countries. In April, Microsoft struck two major partnerships in Thailand and the Philippines, respectively. The partnership with Bangkok-based True Corporation , the fast-growing integrated communications service provider, to extend technology and cloud services to the local businesses is an important step for Microsoft in exerting its market influence in Thailand. Accordingly, the partnership is far more than a simple distribution agreement. Under the partnership agreement, Microsoft and True Corporation will jointly contribute to the design, development, delivery and marketing of new cloud services (provided by Microsoft) and convergent services (provided by True Corporation) and bring these services to the market using both wireline and wireless access. For True Corporation, the availability of a broad portfolio of cloud-based productivity and collaboration services is strategically important to support the diverse needs of business corporations. By partnering with Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), the Philippine telecom behemoth, Microsoft could gain immediate access to local businesses for its cloud-based services. In this partnership, PLDT also teamed up with Datacraft , a subsidiary of Dimension Data (which was acquired by NTT in September 2010) to provide the necessary cloud architecture and support to cloud service customers. Just like existing SaaS pricing models, the cloud-based Microsoft services will be charged for using a monthly subscription model. PLDT is confident that the partnerships with Microsoft and Datacraft will help strengthen its leadership in technological advancement in the Philippines. Perhaps more importantly, it will expand its cloud offerings by adding new services to its current cloud portfolio, called AppFarm. As part of the AppFarm portfolio, PLDT provides a number of enterprise-oriented SaaS applications, including document management and managed Web security. AppFarm is targeted at PLDT's broadband and private network customers and is offered as service bundle with broadband and private network services on a subscription basis. Cloud computing advances ICT development in developing Asia Spearheaded by the Philippine government efforts, the country continues to transform itself into a knowledge-based economy with a strong focus on information and communication technologies (ICT) development. As expected, the government is the single biggest ICT user in the country through implementing a number of e-government projects. Also, it has played a key role in driving the involvement of private sectors amid the ICT transformation, promoting public-private partnerships and collaborative programs in areas of ICT workforce enablement and outsourcing capabilities. That being said, cloud computing deployment within the public sector has been slow and the practice of local government autonomy backed by the local government code has complicated the management of resources among government units. Thus, we expect the bulk of cloud computing activities will be coming from the private sector, led by a number of influential players such as PLDT and Globe Telecom to mobilize the ICT development in the local market. Thailand has implemented a number of nationwide ICT projects such as SchoolNet and eCities to strengthen its ICT position in Southeast Asia. As awareness of cloud computing is growing in Asia, the Ministry of Industry (MOI) in Thailand decided to play a more proactive role in promoting cloud computing usage. Through a national program called Enhancing SMEs' Competitiveness through IT (ECIT), MOI will provide annual funding of 40 million baht (approximately $1.3 million) for the deployment of cloud computing services in the SMB market. This clearly presents opportunities to a mix of national operators and private operators. True Corporation is just one of many providers interested in tapping into the cloud. More providers are expected to jump onto the cloud computing bandwagon in the foreseeable future.
I get this question a lot – and we finally have some answers. Granted this is biased by the fact that around 10% of businesses have a bias in that they have no intention of using cloud computing.
A lot more spread out, and a much low mean that reliability. But this is something that hosting providers should nt veer away from. The Security poverty line is seomthing that hosters can help bridge since they have specialists on hand to monitor and manage (keping patches updated for example) that small and medium sized businesses often don’ t retain these specialists oin house. Culture/learning change Cost un-sureity Security and assurance Interoperability/Integration Regulatory/compliance Also: Executive Sponsorship and Readiness
Mix of Cloud, Datacenter, Remote office, and Virtualized Environment Lots of moving parts and pieces Lack of clarity into where a problem truly resides
Assurance from migration through test and dev to full production maintenance
Change shape = become a niche vertical or saas player Microsoft doing hosted exchange is a prime example of how the industry of hosters cumulatively can make a difference in the directont that this cloud computing phenomon takes. If nobody resells their ghosted servcies, the company will be forced to go direct to protect itself from google and etc. Hosters need to start realziing that it may not make snse to own all the moving parts, and to start diversifying the products and servcie sold for the salke of top line reveneu and margins.

Meaning Open and Interoperable models are important. Mobile sector is a big oportunity. Go out with a lto more energy and bang. We need to hand off very strongly. Last slide needs to be more update. Novell, Onapp come next. Even thoguh our estimation of the market is small for cloud – but people are movign ti full prodcution in the cloud,a nd the maekup of the audience is changing, and why we are all here. The bigger wave is still coming – of opportunity. Can you get this done in a half an hour. Need a big bang closer. Have to lose a few slides. Just 3 key take hom poitns from this: 1) partnerhsips key; 2) enteprrises are moving full production to the cloud. 3) x? yes - to the cross selling piint — pLEASE deliberately make a Security Call Out in your final slide
