Business Track - Virtualisation & Data Management

22 Sept 2008, 17:30

Harbiye Askeri Museum

Description

This session explores the benefits to be gained from the shift from high-cost mainframes to low-cost virtualisation from both a developer's and use case perspective.
EGEE Business Associate, Avanade, offers insight into the company’s Virtualised Grid Technology, which adopts Virtualisation as a means to provide more configurable, dynamic, secure and cost-effective Grid Computing solutions.
The new FP7 project, RESERVIOR, will showcase current commercial efforts in the Cloud world, the benefits that Cloud Computing can offer today and look down the road to see what will really be required from Cloud as the ICT world moves to Web 2.0 and beyond. This includes the vision and objectives of the project, which aims to create the infrastructure for the next generation cloud.
The COMETA Consortium shows the Grid services developed to ease the adoption of the Grid paradigm by industry. A sample of industrial applications currently supported on the Sicilian e-Infrastructure managed by COMETA will also be presented. The talk demonstrates, through real use cases, how gLite can be extended to satisfy the stringent requirements that come from the commercial sector.
Outsourcing applications continues with HIP-TEK highlighting tools for Server Based Computing used with Xen virtual machine managers for Virtual Desktop Infrastructures showcasing as well a major "Green" effect.

100. Avanade Virtualised Grids

Avanade’s Virtualized Grid Technology adopts Virtualization as a mean to provide more configurable, dynamic, secure and cost-effective Grid Computing solutions. Virtualization is used to provide automatic creation of computing clusters with the optimal configuration in two complementary domains: Operating Systems and installed software. In a Grid computing context we see that virtualization...
