Die Vorträge:
From JBoss Cache to Infinispan – the future of open source data grids and cloud computing
In this talk, Infinispan founder and JBoss Cache project lead Manik Surtani introduces the role of data grids in today’s cloud-computing environment. The extreme scalability offered by data grids are powering the greatest and most high-profile of today’s applications. In his talk Surtani covers Infinispan, the new open source data grid platform, and it’s motivations and evolution as a project. Distributed data structures will be discussed in-depth, including strategies of managing and deploying data grids on cloud services such as Amazon AWS by making use of powerful toolkits such as JClouds.
jclouds: anyweight cloudware for java
This presentation is about how to connect to cloud storage from java. First, we will overview cloud infrastructure and differentiate this from data grids. Next, will introduce storage providers that are available. Following that, we will discuss the open source project jclouds and the storage api provided (jclouds-s3). Finally, we will have time for questions and general feedback.
The discussion will use examples to emphasize points. We cover storage providers including Amazon S3 and Sun Cloud storage. We introduce jets3t and review the pros and cons between this and jclouds-s3. From an integration perspective, we introduce the infinispan datagrid which uses jclouds to persist data into the cloud.
