Digital Media
Wednesday, 17 September
Summary
To showcase examples on how grid has been used in the Digital Media vertical.
Description
One of the sectors that Grid Computing has been found beneficial is the Digital Media industry where animation, 2D & 3D rendering can leverage off compute resources available on a Grid, beyond the resources that an individual entity owns. The conventional solution involves high-end graphics hardware-dedicated rendering farms, often stretched to meet business critical deadlines. A Grid solution distributes the rendering task across available compute nodes to act as a massive rendering farm.

SaaS-PaaS Evangelist Workshop
Friday, 19 September
Organized by Salesforce.com
Description
Have You Considered The Future of Software? Things are quickly changing...again! In recent years, new software licensing and delivery models have fundamentally changed the way organizations of all sizes are thinking about IT. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) are allowing next generation IT executives to regard software as a utility - similar to water, electricity and the telephone. This is freeing up valuable resources to focus on business innovation as opposed to simply managing infrastructure. Not unlike the "tech-tonic" shift that marked the shift from mainframes to client-server computing, SaaS is challenging the cost and complexity associated with traditional software models. Analysts forecast that by 2011, more than 25% of all new business applications will be delivered as services over the Internet.
Target Audience: IT Executives & Professionals
