[The following announcement is being sent on behalf of
the organizers of Structure 2010.]
Imagine what the workplace looked like before the Internet and PC revolutions.
Now imagine the impacts as high speed broadband and cloud computing transform
the global workplace.

From the chips that power
the compute clouds to the broadband that transports the computation and the
software that ties it all together, cloud computing is creating a fundamental
shift in how we think about and buy computing services. At Structure 2010, you
will learn about the new opportunities and how to profit from them. Network
with the people making it all happen. From broadband to hardware and software,
we look at the whole picture and predict the directions the industry will
take. Some of the topics we'll cover include:
·
Why
cloud computing is important. In which scenarios does it reduce
costs, improve collaboration, speed the real-time enterprise and increase enterprise
agility?
·
Which
of the basic assumptions made about the cloud were wrong. Why
we’ll need new computing architectures to support cloud computing and who
will provide them? (It’s not what you currently have in your data
center.)
·
Why
big data creates big problems (but could also be big business). Storage
is plentiful; we can store whatever we produce. What new opportunities are
emerging that make storage work better?
·
What
impact does "real-time" have on the cloud? - If the web
and the enterprise are moving to real time, how do you prepare for it? What
architectural considerations does “real-time” infrastructure
require?
·
Why
are traditional databases the unexpected bottleneck in the cloud? Is
technology, implementation or the software licensing at the root of the
problem?
·
Why
the hybrid cloud model is an important transitional state for the
industry. Capex and IT operations don’t disappear
overnight. What are the problems we face, and how can we conquer them?
