I’m delighted to announce the first three speakers at our CloudBeat 2013 event in San Francisco on Sept 9-10.
This is our third annual CloudBeat, an event set on debating the trends in the cloud economy over the next twelve months.
The most disruptive trend is what we’re calling the move to an “open cloud.”
Until this year, everything in the enterprise has remained surprisingly siloed. Even cloud application leader Salesforce.com has pushed a proprietary database. But now there’s an increasing movement toward open APIs, driven by companies that need cloud applications to talk with each other, and on-premise apps to talk with cloud apps. Closed, proprietary businesses that don’t allow easy integration may still garner most of the revenue. But like the sleeping frog in the frying pan, their time may be running out.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that PayPal Senior Director of Platform Engineering Saran Mandair, who will be talking about how his company has moved away from proprietary cloud, to embrace the open source OpenStack cloud infrastructure on an “unprecedented scale” among large companies.
Second, we’ll have Netflix’s director of cloud solutions, Ariel Tseitlin, talk about how that media streaming company continues to scale its offering. Netflix is the poster child for Amazon’s cloud service, and appears to be loyal to Amazon for now. But it continues to build its own tools to augment Amazon’s service, so that Netflix stays up even if some of Amazon goes down. It’s openly talked about the pain of its reliance on a single service, and at CloudBeat we’ll talk about what Netflix is doing, and partners it is working with like CloudBees, to fill out the voids of what Amazon offers.
Next, we’ll feature Jeff McMillan, CEO of Dark Matter Labs, which has built a way to secure computing inside Amazon’s cloud, a highly relevant product given the recent publicity around the NSA’s spying activities. We can’t say too much about the announcement yet, but it’s very timely, and will fit squarely in our theme of the “open cloud” because it can operate across clouds.
At CloudBeat, we’ll cut through the cloud hype by gathering real customers who are adopting the cloud in interesting ways. That way, attendees will learn from the path-breakers who are transforming their businesses with the aid of cutting-edge cloud products.
You can learn more about the event’s themes here.
Join 500 executives — with a mix of business and IT decision makers, analysts, investors, marketers, brands/retailers, and press — for a rare look at what's really working, who's buying what, and where the industry is going as the cloud grows up.
