PANEL What is cloud computing?
  • The definition surrounding exactly what cloud computing is continues to cause debate within the IT sector
  • Is it merely virtualisation, standardisation and mobility or do IT platforms need to incorporate specific elements to be considered part of the cloud?
  • Can private clouds exist or are they merely traditional data centers with more on-line collaboration?

Green clouds – how does cloud computing impact green IT
  • Although cloud solutions reduce IT infrastructure, unnecessary bandwidth and storage capacity does it actually make positive impacts on businesses carbon footprint?
  • Is there any real way of knowing if cloud computing is actually more green then traditional storage facilities without sufficient usage data being provided from the cloud providers?

IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
9.10
Utility-Oriented Cloud Computing: Technologies, Solutions, and Applications
  • How does CLOUDS Lab design and development of next-generation computing systems and applications improve the availability, capability, performance, cost, and users' quality-of-service requirements
  • Analysing the importance of conducting fundamental research on the design and development of marketoriented Cloud platforms for a range of applications
Dr. Rajkumar Buyya, Professor, University of Melbourne; CEO, Manjrasoft Pty Ltd
10.00
Legal issues: what are the profound implications for jurisdiction and applicable laws
  • How do companies operating within Australia protect themselves from the legal and civil consequences of storing data in offshore centers

Morning tea
11.00
Bridging the Gap between internal and external clouds
  • Beyond cost and implementation time, what are the major differences – and therefore benefits – for businesses operating on a public or private cloud?
  • Development and preparation of private cloud and delivering IT as a service to business stakeholders
  • Bridging the internal and external cloud to deliver extended services and markets to customers in a seamless, integrated way. The journey to cloud should be about leverage and build on existing infrastructure to cloud computing

1.30
Moving from a network centric to data centric model
  • When information is location-centric, then location, ownership and control are aligned – however as we move to data-centric models we have to re-examine the links between location, ownership and control
  • Cloud computing requires us to exert control without ownership of the infrastructure, which can be achieved through a combination of encryption, contracts with service-level agreements
  • What do businesses need to do to ensure they have achieved this setting?
Jane den Hollander, Deputy Vice Chancellor – Academic, Curtin University of Technology
RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE CLOUD
2.15
Mitigating the security and compliance challenges with the implementation of cloud computing
  • Who takes care of the intricacies of security management and how can enterprises be sure that cloud providers - particularly external providers - are staying on par as much as they should with patches, updates, workarounds, access restriction, etc.?
  • If official records are stored on cloud resources - files, documents, emails – or customer information, how are clients ensured retention policies comply with audit reform and corporate disclosure laws?
Paul Allen, Director Asia Pacific Data Centre Transformation & Outsourcing Program, Unisys
3.00
Afternoon tea
3.30
Understanding the security risks of cloud computing
  • Analysing the risks customers need to consider when moving their business onto a multi-server cloud
  • Cloud service providers typically work with numbers of third parties - customers gain information about those companies which could potentially access their data
  • Looking at the importance of reliability reports, in-country security regulations and independent security audits
Senior Represetative, AISA
4.15
A broad, open and dynamic discussion between the speakers & the audience
  • Overcoming customisation issues without having to overhaul the IT strategy
  • Virtualisation issues
  • The benefits of cloud based software licensing are relevant to all enterprise IT applications which continue to grow in complexity in both businesses and in the software they consume
  • Enterprise cloud computing removes the fundamental limitations of issuing customised licenses for users and harmoniously linking developer-centric cloud platforms with ecosystem driven infrastructure
