Can the Cloud be Governed?
Speaker(s): Joe McKendrick
Cloud solutions offer a lot of compelling solutions for users all across the enterprise, and it's relatively easy to begin subscribing to services – maybe too easy. Organizations need to be concerned about how cloud adoption fits into their enterprise architecture. In addition, many technologists and managers may be looking at deploying cloud applications and services to users within their own organizations, as well as partners and suppliers. In this session, we will explore the framework to help oversee cloud service deployments and consumption, along with the rules and policies to help guide these efforts.
This session will cover the following:
- Lessons in service governance from the service-oriented architecture (SOA) experience
- Creating a cloud governance model
- Creating a service directory
- How to determine if cloud fits into your application strategy
- Should you monitor service adoption from outside service providers?
- Managing and securing data in cloud environments

Platform as a Service: How to Avoid Lock-In
Speaker(s): Phil Wainewright
Cloud development and deployment platforms can short-cut the time and cost required to build and deliver new applications. But the trade-off is having to work within the constraints and parameters of your chosen platform, with limited or no freedom to move to another provider at any time during the application lifecycle. This session will examine the many, often unseen ways that cloud platforms lock their customers in, discuss the prospects for emerging interoperability and migration standards, and explore what strategies are open to enterprises today to minimize the risks of cloud platform lock-in.

What is Virtualization and Cloud Computing, and How Interconnected Are They?
Speaker(s): TBD
Today many CIO’s and IT managers are trying to connect virtualization and cloud computing. Many enterprises are familiar with virtualization from the mainframe era and know it is focused on resource management and how you can run multiple instances of OS in one single box. However, many are still confused where cloud fits in.
This session will show how by using cloud, you can expose those virtual machines, storage and network bandwidth in your data center as a service that can be turned on and off as requirements change. The challenges ahead for cloud computing and virtualization will also be discussed in this session.

Best Practices in Moving Services to the Clouds
Speaker(s): David Linthicum
Once you have a good understanding of the problem domain, we can identify systems and services that are good candidates for relocation into cloud platforms, and which ones that can stay on-premise. The idea is that we will relocate the systems to find a more cost-effective way to process the same applications and services, but never give up the ability to leverage these systems and services. Services are typically location and platform independent. This means that, no matter where the services exist, on-premise or cloud-based, they are accessible as if they where local.
In many architectural systems we would create new services as part of the services model. This presentation looks at methods to extend a SOA to cloud computing, if that approach does indeed make sense. Thus we’ll limit our discussion to identifying existing services, documenting those services, and relocating those services if cost justified. Keep in mind that you could be building new services as part of this process.
Thus, at a high level, the process is:
- Understand the existing “as is” architecture.
- Identify the existing services within the architecture.
- Document and list those services within a directory.
- Define the “to be,” including the use of cloud computing.
- Relocating services.
