Track: Architecture Case Studies: Cloud

Abstract: In October, Oracle announced their intention to build an enterprise public cloud for business-critical applications.  This cloud will provide a Database-as-a-Service, Java-as-a-Service, and a set of sales, marketing, and collaboration applications made available in a self-service interface, elastic scalability, and monthly subscription billing model.  This session will introduce the audience to the architecture and design considerations made during the design and implementation of the service.  We’ll discuss the elements that went into building the datacenter, structuring the hardware and multi-tenancy model, how end users administer their services, design considerations for elasticity, and how various interoperability, identity, and security issues were addressed.  This session will be ideal for those looking to understand the concerns that go into building a scalable cloud service or those looking to get a technical introduction to Oracle’s new offerings.
