There have been several calls for standards to help make services from different cloud providers interoperable and ultimately more useful to businesses, notes Erik Carlin, Senior Cloud Architect at Mosso - the cloud computing division of Rackspace - and part of a star-studded lineup of speakers next week at SYS-CON's 1st International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo - but in the meantime the lack of interoperability and consistency across services keeps many businesses from adoption.
Carlin will be giving a breakout session "When Is The Right Time For Standards?" - in which he will providing the answers to such questions as "Are standards really needed?" "Who should be involved?" and "What are potential consequences?"
As its Cloud Architect, Carlin's focus at Mosso is on innovation, optimization, and integration of cloud technologies.
Between them, he and the other distinguished speaker at 1st International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo will be covering every aspect of the hottest IT topic for years, with not just Amazon but also IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, HP and a host of others all offering, using or developing high-end computing services typically described as “cloud computing” - through which massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies.
Forrester Research analyst James Staten calls cloud computing "classic disruptive innovation - where the mainstream dismisses the product and small companies have time to create a real differentiated value." But there are so many offerings just now that what infrastructure architects are looking for above all is a set of organizing principles they can use to guide them in choosing between them all.
Such principles. and a host of associated topics, will be addressed in San Jose by a Top Speaker Faculty that includes:
- Dr Werner Vogels - VP & CTO, Amazon.com (Keynote)
