Open Cloud Summit Keynotes (Nov 24, 10 to 12:00am)

1. OpenNebula: Leading Innovation in Cloud Computing Management

Schedule: 10:15am - 10:45am
Speaker: Ignacio Llorente, Open Nebula.
Abstract: OpenNebula is an open source cloud computing toolkit with excellent performance and scalability to manage hundreds of thousands of virtual machines, high integration capabilities to fit into any existing data center, and the most advanced
functionality for building private, public and hybrid clouds. Its innovative features have been developed to address the requirements of business use cases from leading IT companies in the context of flagship European projects in cloud computing.
OpenNebula is being used as an open platform for innovation in several international projects to research the challenges that arise in enterprise cloud management, and also as production-ready tool in both academia and industry to manage clouds.
The keynote describes the main innovations of this open source cloud platform and some examples of on how it is being used to build
large-scale cloud infrastructures. The keynote also covers the community and ecosystem that are quickly evolving around OpenNebula,
and the European projects on cloud computing infrastructures that are using this innovative cloud technology.

2. ProActive Parallel Suite and OW2 OSCi initiative: from Multi-Cores to Multi-Clouds.

Schedule: 10:45am - 11:15am
Speaker:Denis Caromel, ProActive, INRIA, CNRS, IUF.
Abstract:  

3. Introduction to OpenStack

Schedule: 11:15am - 11:45am
Speaker: Randy Bias, Cloudscaling.
Abstract: An introduction to the world's first open source cloud computing platform for Infrastructure-as-a-Service.  We will take a look at what OpenStack is, the incredible momentum and community that has formed around it, and take a high level look at it's architecture and basic value proposition.  Will also cover recent releases, future roadmap, what it takes to become part of the community, and what you need to deploy OpenStack yourself.
