Olivier Maes discusses lessons learned from 100 cloud deployments. Key points include:
- Citrix cloud computing powers many large production clouds with over 130 deployments.
- The Citrix cloud architecture uses core components like CloudStack, NetScaler, and CloudBridge.
- CloudStack is an open source cloud orchestration platform that has powered hundreds of clouds since 2008.
- Moving CloudStack to the Apache Software Foundation increased its community and adoption rates.
- Different workloads require tailored cloud architectures, like traditional enterprise or Amazon-style availability zones.

Back that *aaS up – Bridging Multiple Clouds for Bursting and Redundancy
Peder Ulander, VP of Product Marketing, Cloud Platform Group, Citrix Systems
Bridging multiple cloud computing environments allows enterprises to plan for peak usage even while only building capacity for today’s needs. Using CloudStack, CloudBridge and RightScale can enable Enterprise IT to extend resource pools beyond physical datacenter boundaries and leverage additional private clouds or public clouds to meet peak usage requirements and smoothly manage planned or unplanned capacity spikes.
Private cloud infrastructure configure and deploy

You have built a IaaS cloud and can deliver compute, storage and bandwidth to your customers. Is that enough to hold on to your customer base, or do you wish to deliver value added services such as platform services and databases? Join us our session and we will demonstrate how you could deploy higher margin services such as Database-as-a-Service, Caching-as-a-Service, Load Balancing-as-a-Service, MongoDB-as-a-Service, and many more - instantly without high capital investments. In this session, we will also cover different services that your customers will like and how you can make them available on your cloud and integrate them with your metering, billing and other business processes.

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?”
