WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance
Cloud computing is a popular trend in the IT industry today, and IBM WebSphere
has several offerings helping users to leverage cloud solutions. For private
enterprise clouds, WebSphere is offering both the WebSphere Application
Server Hypervisor Edition and the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. The new
offerings provide a virtual image edition of the WebSphere Application
Server and a solution that helps users to create, deploy, and maintain
WebSphere environments in a private cloud. In addition, WebSphere has also
partnered with Amazon to make its software available on Amazon's Elastic
Compute Cloud (EC2). This partnership allows users to run WebSphere software
on a cloud that is managed by Amazon.
Speaker: Dustin Amrhein joined IBM as a member of the development team
for WebSphere Application Server. While in that position, Dustin worked
primarily on Web services infrastructure and Web services programming models.
In addition, Dustin worked on the development of a RESTful services framework
for Java runtimes. In his current role, Dustin is a technical evangelist
for emerging technologies in IBM’s WebSphere portfolio.
