Opening Keynote by Chair: The CIO, The CTO And The Cloud
Today, many organizations are considering moving IT out of the company premises and into the Cloud. But is the buzz about Cloud Computing and Cloud Services merited or is it still too soon to be talking about the all-encompassing Cloud? In his presentation, Claus will discuss the present state of Cloud Services in Asia/Pacific and examine the role On-Premises IT still has in today's and tomorrow's IT landscape. He will also examine how Cloud Services may move beyond the traditional IT stack of infrastructure, platforms and applications and into what could be called Cloud Business.

Imagine running your business without software. What would your business be able to do if it could eliminate all the cost and complexity? Cloud Computing represents the most exciting technology shift for business since the advent of the Internet a decade ago. In the Cloud, information technology is no longer about productivity; its about collaboration, a shared information base, the wisdom of crowds, and collective real-time intelligence. It is fundamentally changing the way individuals work and the way companies do business. And, the possibilities are seemingly limitless.
So, what does Cloud Computing means for companies in Hong Kong and Asia? Attend this session to understand the economic and innovation implications of moving your business to the Cloud. As the global leader in enterprise Cloud Computing, salesforce.com will highlight local and global customers that already succeeding in the Cloud and will demonstrate its vision for The Real-Time Cloud.

Keynote Six: Cloud Computing: A Networking Perspective
While the majority of the focus in cloud computing had been on applications, platforms, elasticity and virtualization, an often overlooked element is the network. At the end of the day, the best applications with the snazziest user interface may be offered but it is the underlying network that actually delivers these applications to the users. Beyond basic connectivity, user experience is critical for the success of cloud computing and it would not have been possible if the network is not a high-performance one. Juniper Networks will discuss the criteria for a high-performance network and how it can impact cloud computing adoption as demands on the network increases dramatically.

Keynote Seven: Cloud Computing: Legal Issues for Business Users
With all kinds of new service providers springing up in the world of cloud computing, how do companies handle scalability, Service Level Agreements, contracts and other legal issues that result from the transition? All hosting companies are essentially becoming service providers with more similarities to SaaS providers than traditional shared hosting providers. Hosting companies will be collaborating and working together more and more and in doing so, will need flexible infrastructure, contracts and SLAs.
This session will address the legal, business and marketing issues of involved in moving into these new services, and what anyone entering into a new contract, or marketing to end users needs to know.

Keynote Nine: The Service Driven Data Centre
For several years Novell has been building a vision of the next generation data center that addresses new customer needs. These needs are to leverage new technologies that reduce cost and complexity, but manage the risk of introducing them. Our Service Driven Data Center (SDDC) provides the cost reduction in a well managed fashion.
- Open source in general and the Linux operating system in particular have a lower price tag. They also reduce cost by allowing faster exploitation of hardware technologies that further reduce cost, such as low-power and virtualization assists.
- Virtualization reduces cost by allowing physical processors to consolidate workloads.
- Cloud computing provides a means for a user to grab capacity without a lengthy approval process. Moreover, capacity can be ordered as needed. There is no danger of acquiring over-capacity that won't be needed in the end.

Keynote Ten: Powering The Clouds... Faster, Safer And "Greener"
After years of discussions, cloud computing is set to turn the rules of enterprise IT on its head. The open-source Xen, hypervisor and other technologies combine to enable providers, such as Amazon and Google, to offer applications, storage, VMs, and other infrastructure capabilities as a service, with metrics and pay-as-you-go pricing driving their business models. These make clouds offer incredibly sweet deals for IT as a service. However, there are not many cloud solutions offering SLAs and/or security. There are more questions than answers about bridging the gap between the applications and the network, the enterprise and the cloud.
As a leader in the virtualization and cloud computing areas, Citrix will show you how her solutions can power the clouds, making them faster, more secure and "greener".

Keynote Eleven: Building The Enterprise Cloud
Cloud computing is changing the way IT resources are utilized. Users want the ability to access infrastructure resources how and when they choose. IT teams are asked to accommodate this shift in the consumption model, but still deal with the security, compatibility, and compliance issues associated with delivering that convenience to application business owners and developers.
In coordination with large technology partners, standards bodies and cloud services providers, VMware's leading technology platform, VMware vSphere, enables you to transform your datacenter into an internal cloud - a pool of virtualized resources within a datacenter - and seamlessly leverage external cloud providers within the private cloud.
