rPath Chief Technology Officer to Discuss Cloud Application Strategies at Cloud Expo West and Cloud Channel Summit


Attendees will learn how to gain a competitive edge when managing applications on private and hybrid clouds

RALEIGH, NC, Nov. 2 — rPath, the application engine provider for the private cloud, today announces that chief technology officer, Brett Adam, will be speaking at both Cloud Expo West, November 7-10, in Santa Clara, Calif., and the Cloud Channel Summit, November 7, in Mountain View, Calif. At each session, Adam will offer insights on how managed services providers (MSPs) and cloud stack vendors can differentiate their offering by delivering application clouds that give enterprises a way to manage applications in the cloud with consistency, reliability and speed.

Cloud Computing Expo

  • At this year's Cloud Computing Expo, Brett Adam will host a session entitled "Cloud Applications: The Seven Deadly Sins," which will occur on Thursday, November 10, from 9:05 to 9:50 a.m. Pacific Time.
  • During the session, participants will learn about the most prevalent pitfalls that businesses encounter when managing their applications at cloud scale, as well as pragmatic tips to avoid them.
  • The event will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. For more information, visit http://cloudcomputingexpo.com.

Cloud Channel Summit

  • Join Brett Adam in a roundtable discussion entitled "Leveraging Cloud Alternatives to Meet Unique Customer Needs," scheduled for Monday, November 7, from 3:15 to 3:55 p.m. Pacific Time.
  • At this informal session, participants will learn about best practices for creating partnerships aimed to increase revenue for both cloud vendors and channel companies, as well as technologies that can accelerate time to revenue.
  • The event will be held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. For more information, visit http://cloudchannelsummit.com/.

These speaking engagements come on the heels of the launch of rPath Cloud Engine, new software that helps any private or hybrid cloud software stack ensure consistent, reliable, fast application delivery and update. In addition to end-to-end application management, rPath Cloud Engine plugs and plays into any cloud technology ecosystem, helping tech vendors, hosting providers, and MSPs who partner with rPath to differentiate their products to enterprise customers with bulletproof application delivery.

The first in the industry to realize this differentiation, rPath and Cisco offer the Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud (Cisco IA) software stack seamlessly integrated with the rPath Cloud Engine. This solution, which features a self-service portal, application automation and orchestration, is being used by Cisco to transform the company's private infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud, known as the Cisco IT Elastic Infrastructures (CITEIS) project, into an application cloud.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.
