- Interoperability between corporate infrastructure and Clouds
- ROI in the Cloud (capital and operational expenditure models)
- Pricing and cost accounting for Cloud offerings
- Best practices, use cases and design patterns
- Regulatory compliance and security
- Scientific research in the Cloud (modeling and simulations,
computational fluid dynamics, high performance computing, GPU-based solutions,
running MATLAB/Mathematica models in the Cloud, etc.)
-- Latest data center technologies
-- Use of virtualized and non-virtualized (close to metal) technologies in the Cloud
-- Overflow from corporate facilities to the Cloud
-- Difference between Grid and Cloud (distinctive attributes)
