While the concept of the private cloud is still fairly new to the world of IT, there’s more pressure every day for IT teams to create and start testing private clouds in their organizations. In this webinar, James Staten will outline the top features an organization should look for in a private cloud and the suggested fastest path to starting an initiative. Michael Crandell will then illustrate how setting up a private cloud for proof-of-concept and testing can be done quickly and for free so that organizations can kick-start their efforts to developing the appropriate private cloud for their needs.

In this live demo of the RightScale Cloud Management Platform, well show you step-by-step how to build a multi-tiered application in the cloud in less than 60 minutes. Starting with only a database table and a few lines of PHP code, well build a complete 3-tier architecture in the cloud with redundant load balancers, a master MySQL database server replicating to a slave database server, and an application tier that can automatically scale from 2 to 120 servers. This webinar will be highly technical and very fast paced.

So you want to move to the cloud... but you’re not sure what that means, or where you would even start. Or you want to get your feet wet with a proof-of-concept project before you bring out the big guns. We asked Brian Adler, our Professional Services Architect who works directly with customers on cloud projects every single day, to select five cloud projects that you can get started with (and complete!) quickly. In this webinar, Brian and Rafael Saavedra, our VP of Engineering, will walk you through those five projects and will help you demonstrate success in the cloud now.

Cloud is the most nebulous and abused term in information technology today. It describes multiple, disparate service models and has been retroactively applied to countless legacy technologies in attempts to keep them current. In this webinar, well discuss the cloud technology landscape and where RightScale fits in to drive agility, cost, and time savings above cloud infrastructure. RightScale has been investing heavily for the past four years to make cloud infrastructure easy to leverage. This webinar will clarify elements that are straightforward, what continues to be difficult, and the impact on your schedule and budget.

In this webinar, youll learn how and why TransGaming built their game platform on the cloud.

In this webinar we will discuss innovative hybrid cloud strategies being used to address common IT challenges. We will examine how you can take advantage of the scalability and efficiencies of the public cloud while addressing data security and compliance requirements through a private cloud.

Shannon Williams - VP Business Development, Cloud.com. Many companies move to the cloud before they fully understand the complexities of a solid implementation strategy. Public and private clouds each have their benefits and limitations, and it's imperative to develop a clear roadmap for success that incorporates a best-practices reference architecture. In this session, we'll share how to architect a hybrid cloud environment as part of your overall cloud strategy, how to achieve multi-cloud interoperability, and how to proactively plan to survive cloud infrastructure outages.

To support its solution for e-commerce, e-billing, and e-service, Amdocs implemented a hybrid-cloud architecture using AWS and Cloud.com managed by RightScale. Gali discusses how the RightScale Cloud Management Platform is used as a single pane of glass to automate and manage its hybrid cloud architecture.
