Join R2AD and many others in the next Cloud Plugfest: SNIA Cloud Plugfest.
We expect that some good coding will take place to advance the interoperability between the cloud specifications: CDMI and OCCI.
We'll be updating our Android Cloud Client with new features based on the cloud standards.
Visit the Cloud Fest Wiki page for more information.

R2AD presented our Android Client at Cloud Expo 2011 in Santa Clara. The event was exciting and full of buzz about the next levels of Cloud Computing to include Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Mobile Cloud Clients.
R2AD's VP of West Coast, David Moolenaar and R2AD's CTO Michael Behrens and our Cloud Architect Eugene Luster were on site for Cloud Expo 2011. Our Mobile Cloud Client slides for the event are now available from our site and soon shall be available from the
Cloud Expo 2011 main site.
David was able to present a live demo of the Android Cloud client which uses the OCCI and CDMI interfaces to manage Cloud resources.
R2AD would like to thank the Cloud Expo Organizers for a wonderful event and also the OGF, SNIA, and DMTF for their standards development efforts.

The IEEE CloudCom 2010 was a fantastic event from multiple perspectives. First, it was a first class conference with a great mix of national and international attendance which offered relevant information on current cloud computing topics. The conference included a number of very helpful tutorials such as those offered on Hadoop, Open Nebula, Microsoft Azure, Twister, and others.
R2AD was proud to have been accepted to present a poster on our recent cloud client development with the OCCI and CDMI cloud specifications.
Our poster paper is also available from our web site.
The Future Grid work by Geoffrey Fox and his team is going to be interesting to
follow and exciting to work with. Map Reduce was a popular topic of a number of the papers presented. Hadoop is one of many applications which can be used in cloud environments. Ian Foster gave a great key note, in which he emphasized the need for additional infrastructure automation so that cloud users can focus on their main concerns. With this in mind, he introduced Globus Online with a data transfer service as an offering.
Microsoft's Krishna Kumar provided a great Azure tutorial which was echoed in Dennis Gannon's keynote address which emphasized their Truck based cloud data center and their practical tool integration to the cloud (i.e. Excel ribbon and Blast tool).
Standards were also discussed by a panel which included representatives from the Open Grid Forum (OGF), Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA), and others.
It will be interesting to explore many of the topics discussed during the conference...such as using a cloud for geospatial processing of data which is updated often. R2AD will explore this and other areas in support of our customers.
Visit the IEEE CloudCom 2010 site for complete coverage, including a full gallery of images and video.

R2AD is working on providing VMware support and virtual appliances to the NECC Program Office. In addition to the already fielded GCCS-J virtual machines,
R2AD is now developing a base set of Red-Hat based VMs which will enhance the overall administrative experience. R2AD will also soon have multiple ESX certified developers working on this and other
virtualization efforts. We can help your organization with physical to virtual conversions and planning.

R2AD Delivered a CM'd version of the Teleclient solution this FY to the DJC2 Program Office. This is an execellent example of how
the use of remote access to secure clients is possible and desireable in many environments. In addition to having access to
virtual clients, Teleclient users can also access UNIX applications. This technology delivered is rooted with Sun Secure Global Desktop.

R2AD fielded virtualization technology capabiltiies to the JWAC this month. This utilizes the VMware client technology and also
incorporates elements of the Remote Access technology. This means that programs such as GCCS-J will have global access to virtual technology using VMware. See the DoD Virtualization blog entry for more informaiton.

R2AD delivered a new virtual client instance to the Department of Defense this past week, based on VMware. While simple in design, this application of virtual technology allows the desktop office computers to now be used as command and control clients "On-Demand". The virtual instance contains all the software which makes up the latest version of the popular GCCS-J baseline. Demonstrations are available.

R2AD's CTO and President attended the GGF-15 and Grid World event in Boston, MA.
Several intersting announcements were made coupled with productive GGF Working Group sessions.
 Academia, government sponsored organizations, and commercial interests came together to explore futher the
role of grid computing in the industry. There was an atmosphere of collaboration and sharing, even with more and more commercial entities stepping onto the stage.
The keynote address by Ian Foster, "Bridging the Gap - Service Oriented Infrastructure", summarized the confidence held by many that grid technology is going to be the future fondation of the enterprise.
