Topic - Getting Ready for the Cloud – Technology
In this session Nati will describe what is the latest developments in the industry on cloud computing, and where he feels this will be going. He will also share his experience on how to design and deploy enterprise applications in a cloud/grid computing platform, what to take into account while developing or deploying applications on the cloud, and demonstrate how to transition applications to run on the Cloud without needing to completely re-architect them. Standard Application Servers as we've known them only partially address enterprises' needs for scalability. As a result, a new class of application servers has emerged, focused on massive scalability. In this session, we will explore some of the common characteristics of these servers while looking at how to migrate an existing Java EE web app to a scale-out application server, relatively seamlessly.
Included is a 10-minute demo on turning an existing tier-based application into a tierless scaled out application running on the Amazon EC2 Cloud. In this live demo session, we will also use the cloud-based environment to demonstrate how you can add dynamic scaling, self healing and improved performance with almost no changes to your code.

Thanks to Massimo for the very informative presentation of the technology roadmap that awaits us. With your permission – I’d like to spend the next few minutes talking about 2 things: How we at GS see the change that our industry is going through (and no - I’m not referring to the sub-prime crisis...), How we are responding to it.
