Unique live demo of application mobility between EMC and VCE booths
LONDON, Jan. 26 — EMC Corporation will provide customers with a unique opportunity to gain practical guidance from EMC Solution experts and their peers, and view real-time demonstrations to accelerate their journey to the cloud (private, public and, ultimately, hybrid clouds) at the Cisco Live London 2012 conference at ICC London ExCeL in London (Jan. 30 – Feb. 3). Cloud computing is transforming IT infrastructure, applications and end-user device layers, ushering in a wave of disruptive change unlike anything the industry has ever experienced.
Key opportunities to listen, learn and gain hands-on experience:
Executive Quote:
Jeremy Burton, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, EMC
"Cloud computing is no longer a matter of debate with customers. The urgency has shifted from 'should I build a cloud infrastructure?' to 'how can I take advantage of cloud as quickly and efficiently as possible?' EMC is committed to accelerating our customers' journey to private, public or hybrid clouds through the freedom of choice. Whether customers choose to go a-la-carte or use a converged infrastructure as the backbone, EMC offers choice and flexibility with EMC Proven solutions and industry-leading integration with the leading storage, security, hypervisors, applications, network and servers and Vblock Infrastructure Platforms."

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.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
