PRESENTATION 1:Cloud Computing – The Amazon Way

For our 1st anniversary event, Seattle-based Jinesh Varia, Evangelist for Amazon Web Services, will discuss the latest innovations from Amazon.com, and will focus on new technology trends like Utility computing (paying by the hour, paying by the Gigabyte usage), virtualization and web services in the cloud and most importantly, discuss some of the innovative business models for start-ups and enterprises.

In this fun interactive discussion, the audience will learn how these technologies, which not very long ago were considered “futuristic and fiction”, are being used in production by many small and large enterprises. In fact, various teams within Amazon.com use them internally to scale-out their current infrastructure.

Amazon Web Services provides Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) that allows requisition of machines on-demand using simple web service call and paying for computation by the hour. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) which is infinite storage in the cloud and Amazon SimpleDB which is the Database in the cloud and how these services can help local Japanese companies to scale-out and go live quickly. Also, we will see some exciting apps and some unique business models that are built on AWS that have become profitable businesses and others that are just simply cool to see.
