From Cloud Computing to Platform as a Service – BCS OxfordshireAndy Piper
A short history of cloud computing, and why Platform as a Service (PaaS) is an important aspect of this technology. Presented at bcs Oxfordshire, February 2014
Building a hybrid, dynamic cloud on an open architectureDaniel Krook
Daniel Krook's version of the IBM open cloud overview, focusing on the business and technological imperatives driving the IBM strategy for customers.
Presented 9/30 and 10/1 at Boston TechFest, Cambridge, MA.
Software as a Service (SaaS), on demand software, is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally and accessed using a thin-client, usually a web browser over the internet.
A polemic on the issues and challenges confronting us in the domains of "security" and risk management, as system architectures move to include the Cloud.
Keep an eye on the speaker Notes for each slide -- there's stuff in there.

How Your Business Can Take Advantage Of Cloud ComputingAndy Harjanto
Cloud Computing is one of major technology shifts which recently gains momentum. Business can reap quick benefits by implementing their cloud strategy carefully. This presentation describes 'what' cloud computing in simpler terms, and will follow with 'how' in a future presentation.
Many believe Big Data is a brand new phenomenon. It isn't, it is part of an evolution that reaches far back history. Here are some of the key milestones in this development.
Internet of Things (IoT) - We Are at the Tip of An IcebergDr. Mazlan Abbas
You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet.
IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data.
IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things.
IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.
This lecture was given by Professor June Sung Park at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in the 2012 Cloud Conference held in August 2012 by Electronic Times in Korea.
A presentation on how enterprises can adopt Cloud Computing. Starting with a brief overview of Cloud Computing, this presentation provides Cloud services that enterprises can adopt saving costs and providing the much sought after Agility. The presentation also talks about a customer case study that I worked with. It provides insights into how an airline customer utilized Cloud Computing to drive more sales and reduce costs during their sales promotion cycles.

Cloud Computing: Making the right choiceIndicThreads
Session Presented @IndicThreads Cloud Computing Conference, Pune, India ( http://u10.indicthreads.com )
------------
The concept of cloud computing is quickly scaling the chasm between hype and reality. Cloud Computing is rapidly becoming popular amongst enterprises that realize the benefits of shared infrastructure, lowered costs and minimal management overheads. But not all organizations and applications may benefit from a cloud computing platform. A legacy application ported in a native fashion to a cloud computing platform may not utilize any of the platform’s USPs at all. More importantly, wrong choice of platform can be disastrous. Deciding the optimal cloud vendor or platform for your requirements is a complex task.
Consider the plethora of choices available in the world of cloud computing:
* Public Cloud or Private Cloud or Hybrid Cloud
* Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS): Amazon AWS, Rackspace Cloud, GoGrid, Terremark,
* Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Google AppEngine, Microsoft Azure, Heroku
* Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): Salesforce, Netsuite, Google Apps, saas.com
* Should you use IaaS, PaaS or SaaS for your application?
* Which cloud database fits your application? SimpleDB, SQL, RDS, Hadoop?
We will discuss the various business and technology factors to consider, while choosing a cloud vendor. We will explore the pros and cons of various cloud vendors and their offerings. Lastly, we will also discuss some real-life use-cases of applications and servers being migrated to cloud computing and what factors led to selection of a particular cloud vendor.
Takeaways from the session
This talk would serve as an introduction to a wide variety of cloud computing platforms. The audience would be able to answer questions like: “What options are available for cloud computing?”, “What are their pros and cons?”, “Should I consider migrating my application or server to the cloud?”, “Should I use IaaS, PaaS or SaaS?”, “Which is the best cloud vendor for my use-case?”
