DataSynapse provides a platform called FabricServer that allows enterprises to more efficiently utilize their IT infrastructure and deploy applications. It does this by enabling enterprises to package applications to run on physical, virtual, or cloud environments. This helps improve infrastructure utilization rates, reduce costs, and accelerate application deployment times. FabricServer provides tools to build self-contained application packages, deploy them across different environments, and implement policy-based management of applications at runtime. It aims to bring cloud-like capabilities in-house to help IT organizations better optimize resource usage.
Infrastructure as a Service ( IaaS) is one of the three fundamental services in cloud computing. IaaS provides access to basic computing resources such as hardware- processor, storage , network cards and more
What is Infrastructure as a Service?, Comparison of Service Models, Why do we need IaaS?, Essential Characteristics of IaaS, Where IaaS May Not be the Best Option?, Cloud Deployment Models

The provision of infrastructure as a service (iaas) is one of the fastest growing areas of it & communications, with businesses across the uK facing the challenge of ‘doing more with less’.
The adoption of managed storage and servers in particular is helping organisations address the multiple challenges of reducing it spend; ensuring 99.99% application availability; enabling ‘on-demand’ capacity; consolidating server and storage infrastructure and reducing carbon footprint.
Cloud based delivery models are increasingly seen as a ‘must’ when it comes to data delivery and storage. intechnology’s purpose-built £100m infrastructure is optimised to support and drive that trend.
AWS provides Infrastructure as a Service or IaaS and ‘elastic computing resources’. AWS is actually several ‘clouds’ regionally-based, named as Data Centers and within these, zones of availability. Firms can avail themselves of these data centers and zones, with their associated server resources, through a set of APIs or application programming interfaces. AWS’ main innovation is to present to their clients a coherent and easy-to-use API access to complex server, hardware, compute, network, and storage services.
Just to be clear, EC2 or Elastic Cloud Computing is not the ‘cloud’. AWS services by themselves are not a ‘cloud’. EC2 London UK region, is a cloud, and is my ‘private cloud’.
Presentation is attached, which helps summarize the key concepts around building a reliable system and platform in AWS.

webappVM Cloud Onboarding and Application ManagementwebappVM
webappVM provides onboarding, scaling, and monitoring so PHP and Java developers can easily deploy Web applications to cloud computing environments like Amazon EC2, Rackspace, and vCloud. Only webappVM ensures applications are ready for production by having complete application management and scaling built-in. The presentations introduces the webappVM solution.
What is the role of clouds in driving substantial IT organizational change? Adopters of private clouds are looking for more agility and speed, according to IT market research highlighted in the presentation.
These business benefits are made possible by the adoption of cloud automation. The presentation examines automation advantages such as:
• Reducing management costs while also cutting cloud deployment time
• Cutting complexity via standardization
• Optimizing resource utilization
• Accelerating service delivery times.
Power to Change also spotlights specific gains achieved by Dow Jones & Co.’s adoption of VMware cloud automation software, including an 80% improvement in operational efficiency and substantial operational savings.
Learn how adopting cloud automation tools will provide a competitive edge to your organization.
Cloud computing is quickly becoming the standard way for technology companies to access IT infrastructure, software and hardware resources. The technology enables companies to be able to use applications and other resources managed by third party companies that are stored in high-end server computers and networks. Cloud computing helps businesses to be more efficient and save on software and hardware that are important for different operations.
Virtualization simply means maximizing the value of your IT resources - including hardware, software applications and infrastructure - by decoupling them from physical assets and turning them into a "pool" of resources that can be called upon and used on an on demand basis.
Software-Defined Data Center Case Study – Financial Institution and VMwareVMware
In this case study, a large financial institution engaged the VMware software-defined data center team to create a three-to-five year forward-looking strategy document for its IT department. The overriding business driver for the institution was the need for a drastic reduction in IT OpEx Costs, at least a 50% OpEx annualized cost reduction over a three-year period. This presentation explains how VMware Accelerate Advisory Services established the necessary strategy, including a look at the “cloud reference architecture,” which addressed the: application plane, control plane, infrastructure layer, and management plan.
Cloud migration is the process of transferring databases, applications, and IT processes into the cloud, or from one cloud to another. Migration in cloud computing has become quite popular among organizations as it offers anytime, anywhere access. Read this practical guide to cloud migration to know more.
Cloud Computing Realities - Getting past the hype and setting your cloud stra...Compuware APM
Companies are increasingly demanding that Web applications "move to the cloud" to reign in IT costs, reduce server sprawl and perhaps most importantly, help to ensure that your infrastructure is tuned to deliver an exceptional end-user experience for your customers. The challenge is to reap those benefits while ensuring top performance, keeping IT operations and development on the same page, and delivering enterprise level capabilities and scalability.

AWS Summit 2013 | Singapore - Service Orchestration – Managing the Cloud Disr...Amazon Web Services
Enterprises are confronted by simultaneous and extraordinary change from two sides. On the one hand their business models are changing, with accelerating digitalisation, emerging markets, increasing competition, and the need for rapid innovation to face the competition. On the other hand, new business infrastructure services based on the cloud are emerging every day, as well as changing in functionality, features and price. This sprawl and flux of services have to be harnessed to serve the shifting business priorities, whilst keeping the current business and existing investments properly operational. The way to manage this chaos is through a robust and comprehensive Service Orchestration platform.
CCF 4 XAP has been designed to exploit XAP capabilities on the cloud and leverage XAP scalability, low latency and high-throughput features when deployed in such dynamic environment
There are options beyond a straight forward lift and shift into Infrastructure as a Service. This session is about learning about how Azure helps modernize applications faster utilising modern technologies like PaaS, containers and serverless
Deploying SaaS Application on the Cloud - Case StudyNati Shalom
This presentation provides a case study on how to overcome some of the challenges involved in deploying a SaaS application on the cloud using GigaSpaces. In this specific case were referring to a risk analysis application (Primatics) and describe how we've dealt with multi tenancy, high availability, scalability and how we were able to optimize the architecture for reduced cost.
The presentation was given during the cloud connect 2010 conference.

6. So is Grid Computing a universal solution? Really only applicable to a subset of enterprise applications – those applications where the processing of information is easily parallelized Customers started to ask us? Can I run my standard Web apps on the Grid Can I run my packaged apps on the Grid? Can I run legacy apps on the Grid?
