Open Cloud Day 2013<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Another successful\u00a0 Open Cloud Day 2013<\/a> held on 11-Jun-2013 in Winterthur in cooperation with\u00a0 \/ch\/open<\/a> and\u00a0 ICCLab.<\/p>\n

Over one hundred participants from academies, operators, industries, SMEs and open source organisations attended the plenary, the two parallel sessions and panel discussion. Relevant presentations on OpenStack and CloudStack architectures were discussed by Muharem Hrnjadovic and Sebastien Goasguen, respectively, and was complemented by other speeches by companies and providers that base their business of these platforms and other open platforms like CloudSigma, Anolim, EveryWare, Citrix and Cisco. Specific topics and architectures like Cloud\/SDN, PaaS (Christof Marti), Elasticity and Automation were presented with in-dept discussions.<\/p>\n

The plenary<\/strong> session gave the opportunity to introduce strategies for the cloud infrastructures and in particular for the Swiss Government and\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Swiss Academic Open Cloud. In the first session Willy M\u00fcller (ISB) gave an update on the state of the cloud strategy of the Swiss Federal Government. This raised the discussion on\u00a0the importance of security and privacy aspects for data stored in the cloud and the needs for a governmental cloud strategy. Next, Dr. Jens Piesbergen (Netcetera) presented the Swiss Governance Cloud (SGC) offering of Netcetera and partners and the challenges bringing eGovernment applications to the cloud. The 3d presentation “Open source goes Cloud” introduced the “Die Deutsche Wolke” an initiative to build a federal cloud infrastructure in cooperation with<\/span> several OSB Alliance<\/a> members (100% sites in Germany and under German jurisdiction).\u00a0 The plenary also covered the positions of industries like Cisco (server architectures, virtualisation, automation and new configuration of data centres), Red Hat (OpenShift as PaaS infrastructure to meet the IT challenges needs to accelerate, automate, and standardise developer workflows) and CloudSigma detailing the challenges in delivering reliable and scalable performance to customers and the role of SDN for SLAs requirements.<\/p>\n

The afternoon was dedicated to two parallel tracks for specific presentations by actors involved in the business of the Cloud mainly. Below are summaries of some of the presentations.<\/p>\n
