The talk will explain how to design the datacenter, business operations, and applications around the cloud model of IT so that you can achieve an extreme improvement in IT’s scalability while also significantly lowering operational expenses.</p> <p>Principles of scale<br /> * Building the cloud hierarchically to avoid bottlenecks<br /> * Simplifying cloud networks by flattening them and having a more flexible network isolation model<br /> * Decoupling unrelated concepts such as broadcast domains from tenant isolation<br /> * Scaling out services horizontally to eliminate bottlenecks and single points of failure</p> <p>Automation for operational efficiency<br /> * Zero-touch installation of cloud nodes<br /> * Self-healing control plane that ensures a constantly available API without heavy administrator interaction<br /> * Automation of placement of newly provisioned resources based on infrastructure tagging, end user demands, and administrative policy</p> <p>Organizational efficiency<br /> * Eliminating red tape through self-service of compute, storage, and networks – making sure that tenants can be their own administrators from business logic to network topology, to application management<br /> * Multi-layer delegation – distribute authority and drive decisions on access to the lowest level possible so that decisions made by the people with the actual responsibility for the data, the applications, and the business results<br /> * Cross-tenant collaboration – Enable cloud tenants to work together securely, quickly, and without the need for arbitration by the cloud administrator<br /> * Decoupling roles – Make sure that any role – cloud administrator, tenant administrator, and end user can do their work without the need to wait on work from another role to proceed. Have end users work within predefined constraints but have complete freedom within those boundaries.</p> <p>Application architecture<br /> * Stateless scale-out applications – Not all applications take advantage of the cloud. By eliminating state from the bulk of the application instances and by scaling out applications, you can decouple the operation of the application from the internals of the infrastructure, freeing the application administrator to manage the applications without assistance from the cloud administrator</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-keywords field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/54" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">efficiency</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/466" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Scalability</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/14" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">IaaS</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/4" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">cloud</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/37" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Networking</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/125" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Automation</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/146" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Architecture</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-spfname field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker First Name:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Jay</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-splname field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker Last Name:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Judkowitz</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-jobtitle field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker Job Title:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Director of Product Management</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-company field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s Company Name/Affiliation:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Nimbula</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bio field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker Bio:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Jay Judkowitz runs product management at Nimbula, a leading cloud software startup. Before Nimbula, Jay was at VMware for over eight years where he drove products like Site Recovery Manager and Storage VMotion. Jay started his career as a hands on IT practitioner at Intel, where he personally experienced many of the pains that drive the need for cloud computing and where he implemented some of the early products that tried to solve those pains. From Intel&#039;s IT, to VMware, to Nimbula, Jay has been intimately involved in the growth of the technologies that will soon make ubiquitous cloud computing a reality.</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-company-logo field-type-image field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s Company Logo:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://cloudslam.org/sites/default/files/styles/round_70/public/nimbula.jpg?itok=OeE14ovj" width="72" height="72" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-headshot field-type-image field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s Headshot Photo:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://cloudslam.org/sites/default/files/styles/round_180/public/Jay%27s%20Photo.png?itok=ycTKevee" width="172" height="172" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-li field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s LinkedIn Profile:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=999759&amp;authType=OUT_OF_NETWORK&amp;authToken=Cgs4&amp;locale=en_US&amp;srchid=3b53a190-b0e5-48f4-bc9a-798cf36c2933-0&amp;srchindex=2&amp;srchtotal=182125&amp;goback=%2Efps_PBCK_jay_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*2_*1_Y_*1_*1_*1_false_1_R_*1_*51_*1_*51</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-twitter field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s Twitter profile:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">@Jay_Judkowitz</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-postal field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s Postal Address:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">1200 Villa St. Suite #160 Mountain View, CA 94041</div></div></div> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:06:29 +0000 270 at http://cloudslam.org
