Because it's easy, scalable, available and disposable, the cloud is well on its way to becoming 'technology's next big thing.' However, with recent outages from Amazon and Google Apps, the question of the cloud's competence, security and reliability have come into play. In this session, Hyperic's CEO, Javier Soltero will address these issues along with the many others surrounding the cloud including: The emergence of web operations as a discipline, How cloud computing simply changes, instead of eliminating the importance of web operations, What tools are available to help better manage cloud environments?]]></description></item><item><title>Deploying into the Clouds: Concepts, Benefits, and Experiences</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://eclipse.sys-con.com/read/608800.htm</guid><link>http://eclipse.sys-con.com/read/608800.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:45:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://eclipse.sys-con.com/read/608800_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[Cloud Computing offers significant benefits over traditional solutions for deploying production systems as well as for conducting development and testing activities.

In the case of middleware, whether it is data access, messaging or the business logic, the physical location of the resources should not matter to the developer and to the end user. This is not a trivial thing to do, especially when it comes to data-intensive, stateful (transactional or otherwise) applications and services.
