RightScale: Join the Cloud with the Right Cloud Management Platform Conference session by Sergey Sundukovskiy

“ ” Choosing a Cloud Provider is only the beginning of the Cloud journey. Hardly any Cloud is

able to support an Enterprise Environment simply by itself. The nature of the Cloud Com-

puting paradigm differs from a traditional hosting environment. Hence, software product

providers develop Cloud-targeted and Cloud-optimized editions of their software. To take

advantage of these optimizations, in the majority of cases, a Cloud Provider needs to be

coupled with a Cloud Management Platform, such as RightScale, enStratus, Plesk, or Eu-

calyptus. This session is going to discuss the opportunities and challenges of deploying

the RightScale Cloud Management Platform in a typical Enterprise Environment.

SESSION DESCRIPTION While attending this session, you will get expert advice on the Cloud Management Plat-

form selection process. In particular, this session will go into a detailed evaluation of the

RightScale Cloud Management Platform as the platform of choice. The speaker will re-

view a list of federated services provided by the RightScale Cloud Platform. We will look at

such federated services as logging, security, server provisioning, database provisioning,

distributed authentication, metadata mapping, federated search, integrated views of data,

cross-repository synchronization, distributed caching, performance monitoring, auditing,

distributed database management, and single sign-on.
