Cloud Science: Astrometric Processing in Amazon EC2/S3
Speaker:
Paul Parsons
Founder & CTO The Server Labs
Track:Deploying Cloud Computing in the Enterprise
With the maturing of cloud computing, it is now feasible to run scientific applications in the cloud. Data storage and high performance computing resources are fundamental for scientific applications. Outsourcing these services leverages scalability, flexibility, high availability at lower prices compared with traditional in-house data processing. This session evaluates Amazon's EC2/S3 suitability for this scenario, by running a distributed astrometric process developed for the European Space Agency's Gaia mission in Amazon EC2. The aim is to demonstrate how cloud computing systems can be a cost-effective solution for HPC applications.
Speaker Bio: Paul Parsons is Founder & CTO of The Server Labs. He has over 20 years of experience in software development and was senior software engineer in the European Space Agency (ESA). After ESA, he worked in the Deutsche Boerse, Commerzbank and DG Bank, designing and implementing real time distributed systems. Since then he has been an architect in different industries, designing high performance solutions.
SYS-CON's International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series, now in its second year, is the leading event covering the booming market of Cloud Computing for the enterprise.

Cloud Computing Journal aims to help open the eyes of Enterprise IT professionals to the economics and strategies that utility/cloud computing provides. Cloud computing - the provision of scalable IT resources as a service, using Internet technologies - potentially impacts every aspect of how IT deploys and operates software.
In other words, VMware’s server density is higher. Boles suggests this means that customers should be “assessing virtualisation on a ‘cost per application’ basis. VM density has a sign
Traditionally, the way people have implemented high availability is by using a high-availability management package like Linux-HA[1], then configure it in detail for each application, file system moun
