Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces CTO, will speak at the Cloud Connect Conference on Tuesday, March 16 at 4pm.

The Cloud Connect Conference is designed to serve the needs of IT professionals, executives and developers—and learn about the latest cloud technologies and platforms and identify opportunities in the cloud.

In his presentation "Deploying to the Cloud: The Care and Feeding of a Cloud Application",Nati will talk about the need to deploy an application once it was built:While clouds eliminate much of the complexity of physical deployment, there's still work to do. How should one package his application? How can you deploy it easily on different clouds, with different topologies? How should one push updates to the application? In this session Nati will look at how different cloud platform vendors approach these issues.

Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces' CTO, will present at the Java Symposium on March 18, at 10:20am.

TheServerSide Java Symposium is a community-created and community-driven enterprise Java event. The Java Symposium is an intensive educational experience that catches you up on essential development technologies, gives you expert insight into today's most relevant frameworks, and teaches you practical, real world ways to architect, develop, and maintain effective Java-based applications and systems.

Nati's presentation, "Elastic Data on the Cloud - Hype or Reality?" will review the challenges and patterns for managing the large data sets in the cloud: When it comes to cloud computing, no one has entirely sorted out what’s hype and what isn’t. While the future of the cloud stack is still "cloudy", it is clear that every cloud application will need to handle exponential growth of data. Tackling Big Data will determine the winners and losers in the next wave of cloud computing innovation.

Nati's presentation will show you how to:

• Enable on-demand scaling of your data services while your application is still running, ensuring no data loss

• Leverage major cloud computing trends, including NoSQL (No Relational Data Store) and the emergence of the new distributed key/value store alternatives in the market

• Understand how this new data store model imposes changes to the way you design your applications (No Joins, No Complex tables, and more).

GigaSpaces' CTO, Nati Shalom, will hold a presentation at the Cloud Slam 10' virtual conference.

The Cloud Slam Conference series is a global cloud computing event, covering the latest trends and innovations in the world of cloud computing. This conference will take place on April.

Nati's presentation, "SaaS enabling your application", revolves around SaaS which represents a new model for delivering software products on an on-demand or pay-per-use basis, without the overhead associated with installing your product on-premises. Cloud Computing provides a platform for delivering SaaS products. In this discussion we will cover the challenges involved in migrating existing applications that were not deigned to run in an on-demand environment, and migrating them to a SaaS model. We will suggest practical steps to overcome those challenges based on our specific experience with an application offered by Amdocs, a global provider of billing software.
