ORACLE: Bridging the Gap Between Enterprise Datacenters and Public Clouds
Clouds still need infrastructure under them to run. But that infrastructure looks very different from what's in traditional enterprise data centers. Traffic patterns change; shared environments move workloads between machines and continents; and management systems have to deal with complexity that’s orders of magnitude beyond what enterprise IT usually handles.
The New Infrastructure Track looks at the emerging infrastructures and architectures of a cloud-centric computing industry. Learn from those building the foundations on which clouds operate, and prepare for changes in IT that promise to be as transformative as the switch from mainframe computing to client-server.

This intensive session offers a deep dive into internal and mixed on-prem/off-prem cloud computing solutions. We'll look at virtualization, bare metal, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and explore the products and services available today. Want to know whether to use SAN, NAS, or DAS for your cloud? How can you manage internal and external clouds from the same console? We'll discuss and showcase solutions that work today as well as explore those of the future in a 100% vendor agnostic environment. This is a blunt, pragmatic take on how enterprises build and deploy on-demand solutions within their own environments, and connect to external service providers.

Clouds are on-demand, distributed, shared compute fabric. The underlying network holds all of this together, loading and storing virtual instances and linking enterprises to remotely hosted resources. What kinds of new demands will cloud computing place on existing network infrastructure? How will new traffic patterns force networks to evolve? And what are infrastructure providers and carriers doing to address these new demands? In this session, we'll look at the part the network plays in transportation, integrity, and orchestration of both public and private cloud resources, and what new services need to be built to support these changes. This panel of authors, vendors, and analysts looks at the changing role of the network in tomorrow's infrastructure. Moderator - James Urquhart, Market Strategist, Cloud Computing Service Provider Systems Unit, Cisco James Urquhart manages cloud computing infrastructure strategy for the Server Provider Systems Unit of Cisco Systems.

Interoperability between networks has fueled the growth of applications that has in turn spurred the growth of networks and internetworking. This cycle has led to increasing strain on networks, applications, and people who manage them. The 'virtualization' of networks, servers, storage, and applications as well as cloud computing not only quickens growth rates, but changes the nature of demand placed on infrastructure. Virtualization and cloud computing ultimately require new kinds of interoperability to reduce the burdens imposed by these technologies. This panel of cloud computing vendors and users will review the challenges of dynamic infrastructure design -- infrastructure capable of sustaining growth while relieving stress -- and will suggest the types of standards necessary to make those infrastructures a reality.

IF-MAP is a relatively new protocol from the Trusted Network Connect Working Group (TNC-WG) that defines standard interfaces between endpoints on a network, making it possible to grant access to compute resources cleanly and securely. It's a standards-based way to share information. The protocol is now being deployed in a variety of IT infrastructure, and aims to make resources more fluid and dynamic while promoting interoperability across service providers. This session will provide an introduction to IF-MAP technology, describe use cases, and show how it will impact a wide range of applications, from network and physical security to IT automation, supply chain management, smart grids and cloud computing.
