After the Opening Keynote on "Enterprise IT and the Cloud", being given by Oracle's Richard Sarwal and Hasan Rizvi, four technical breakout sessions will be presented on the opening day, Monday, April 19.

Then Oracle will then participate in four more sessions over the final two days of Cloud Expo, April 20-21:

Directions in Physical Infrastructure for the Cloud
Speaker: Hal Stern
Date: Tuesday, April 20, 9:10 am - 9:55 am

The cloud promises immediate and limitless scale across all types of applications.  This raises practical questions about system utilization, capacity planning and performance issues related to the widespread usage of virtual servers and storage.  How will the cloud mitigate requirements for applications needing real-time responsiveness, extreme transaction processing, event processing and continuous availability?  This session will discuss the experience gained from research and development from Sun Microsystems' cloud program and the new types of systems that must be created to power the new generation of cloud implementations

Using Software Appliances to Enable Customized PaaS
Speaker: Adam Messinger
Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2:35pm - 3:20pm
Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides developers with a complete environment that is fully configured and ready to use for deploying applications. But, can enterprise IT really set up a single general purpose platform that satisfies the requirements of all its departments and developers?  Instead, IT really needs to be able to quickly set up custom environments that contain just the required components and then provide connectivity to other shared services and infrastructure. This session will explore how software appliances can enable IT to address the needs of their internal customers to rapidly configure and provision the exact custom environment they need.

The Heavy Lifting in Cloud Management
Speaker: Sushil  Kumar
Date: Wednesday, April 21, 9:10am - 9:55 am
The success of any cloud implementation depends on a complicated equation of managing physical and virtual resources, rapid provisioning and re-provisioning of applications and infrastructure, dynamic capacity management and maximizing resource utilization.  If this equation does not end up providing significant cost savings and increased IT productivity, then your cloud implementation will fail.  This session will outline the cloud management tasks you need to get right for a successful cloud program.

Power Panel - Who's Doing What (and Where) with Cloud Computing?
Power Panel Speaker: Rex Wang
Date: Wednesday, April 21, 9:10am - 9:55 am
Fast-moving industry discussion panel moderated by Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan.
