9:20-9:40: An Introduction to OpenNebula

Constantino Vazquez Blanco, VP of Engineering at OpenNebula Systems We’re moving into a world of open cloud — where each organization can find the right cloud for its unique needs. A single cloud management platform can not be all things to all people, there will be a cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. The OpenNebula commitment to the open cloud flows directly out of its mission — to become the simplest cloud enabling platform — and its purpose — to bring simplicity to the private and hybrid enterprise cloud. OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost‐effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula project is really vendor‐agnostic and completely driven by users needs with features that meet real demands. The session will introduce the OpenNebula project from different perspectives, ranging from its historical milestones and main contributors to its most relevant users and the size of their cloud deployments.

15:50 – 16:10: Hyperconvergence and Opennebula

Varadarajan Narayanan, Wayz Infratek Storage is often the bottle neck for virtualised infrastructure where customer is locked in with proprietary and expensive SAN like solutions. Hyperconvergence seems to be promising where commodity hardware can be used to provide scalable , fault tolerant infrastructure. Combining Opennebula platform with a distributed storage solution bundled with caching with high speed SSDs seems to be good idea to offer a high performance hyperconvergent solution. Pros and cons of distributed and centralised storage systems and performance comparison are studied here. TechDay – Toronto 2016 – Hyperconvergence and OpenNebula from OpenNebula Project

16:10 – 16:30: The Consumption Cloud Revolution

Ian Khan, Director of Innovation Learn why the consumption economy is taking over flat rates. Build further on real time monitoring of everything consumed on the Cloud including services, software and hardware consumption, Cloud providers now can leverage the model to build agile, and lean monetization frameworks. Apply this to aspects such as Chargebacks, Bill back, Automation of SaaS, PaaS & IaaS to offer a unique service model to customers. .

16:30 – 17:00: Open Space

This is a session for attendees to gather and discuss passionate questions, burning ideas, features, integrations or any topic of their choice, in an informal and tech-friendly environment, with other passionate and interested people. There is no preplanned list of topics, only time slots and a space in one of the meeting rooms where interested participants propose topics and pick time slots.

Throughout the day, our hosts Canada151 will be conducting tours of the data center for interested parties and available to chat about their partnership programs.
