Abstract

Bringing Spatial Context into the Cloud; How Oracle’s Spatial Capabilities fit in Oracle’s Enterprise Cloud Computing Strategy
The mystification of Cloud Computing sometimes makes people think that Cloud Computing is a new technology, which will solve all our current IT problems. In reality we are dealing with the evolvement of SOA, GRID and Virtualization technologies, which brought together, can define a Cloud Infrastructure. The major advantage you then have, once the prerequisites for this Cloud Infrastructure are met, is a more agile infrastructure with a more flexible cost model. Other advantages are dependent on the innovations vendors will introduce and how much their technologies are compliant to interoperability standards. In this presentation it will be shown what innovations Oracle has introduced in its Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure to meet the Cloud needs of enterprises in terms of scalability, performance, security, governance, agility, provisioning, manageability and interoperability. It will also shown how Oracle’s Spatial Strategy, although over 15 years old, still fits seamlessly in Oracle’s Enterprise Cloud Computing Strategy, which includes federation of W3C and OGC interoperability standards and bringing business applications in a spatial context. Use cases will be discussed in a e-Government context both private and extended, hosted and on premise. Recent developments like Big Data or Real Time Analytics in combination with Complex Event Processing, extend the Cloud to the Sensor Web for spatial aware real-time decision-making.

Abstract
Cloud Computing
The presentation will touch down on the difference between Private- and Public Clouds in which the level of Control for customers, is de most important driver. The other part that will be addressed is the integration with Business Processes and the Key performance Indicator’s in order to protect investments in Cloud Solutions. I use multiple customer cases in my presentation. Martijn's view on Cloud Computing is that a lot is possible; but there are still some concerns which needs to be addressed upfront in order to realize successful Cloud Implementations.
