Web 2.0 Expo
Title: Short on Storage, Long on Cycles
Abstract: Utility computing takes the ideas of utility energy provision and applies it to the world of IT, so that companies buy computing resources in much the same way that they buy electricity - charged according to metered usage. This market is growing, and will continue to grow in three distinct areas - SaaS, FaaS and HaaS. It heralds in a new way of operating on the web, benefiting developers by reducing "yak shaving", business by reducing non-strategic costs and it may even benefit Ducks. This session covers the concepts, economics, technologies, players, benefits and pitfalls as well as the future development of this field. It also explains what this might mean to those who work in IT, how the relationship between IT and Business will change, how new markets should form and why Ducks matter.

OSCON
Title: Commoditisation of IT and What the Future Holds
Abstract: Modern application development consists mainly of “Yak shaving” or repeated mundane but expensive tasks. Worst of all is infrastructure, which is often under utilized, ubiquitous, and provides little or no strategic value at high cost. The time is right to change this, and open source is the key.

Web 2.0 Expo
Title: Commoditisation of IT and What the Future Holds
Abstract: Modern application development consists mainly of “Yak shaving” or repeated mundane but expensive tasks with under-utilized hardware and processing power. The commodization of IT and the speed of change from new and exciting to boring and ubiquitous are quickly changing the way we work and how we view our resource requirements and the cost of doing business. The acceleration of this process means that we need to examine our current thinking on how we make things happen in a faster way and more cost effectively. This presentation takes a walk into the future of commodization of IT and what lies ahead, and looks at how products like EC2, Salesforce.com, and Zimki are speeding this process up.
