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.
