Skipping Documentum Search Services (coming in Q3) in order to hear what EMC is planning around the cloud for content management.  Not sure how much slide content v discussion there will be, but we will see.

• Una Kearns-Moderator, Muddu Sudhakar (Kazeon founder), Amotz Maimon, John McCormick, Paul O’Brien
• Lots of futures in here, not a roadmap, looking for feedback
• Strategy is two-fold (public/private)
  • Aimed to move the business to the cloud
  • Connectivity for apps across both clouds and a hybrid.
• Cloud options:
  • On premise: Data centers (not really cloud)
  • Private Cloud on premise: Virtualization (Documentum there when DSS released)
  • Service Provider Model: apps with multi-tenancy support, tenant isolation & branding (old ASP model)
  • Public Cloud: self-service model on public clouds with full support for elasticity, data/metadata isolation, and protection
• Primary focus is for VMWare for Private Clouds, not other virtualization technology
• Public Cloud
  • Intend to build many IIG capabilities for Public Cloud, 1st are Information Governance and xCP (PaaS)
  • Applications/Platform will be:
    • Multitenant
    • Compliant and secure for public cloud
    • Elasticity in various forms (front-end, processing, persistence layers)
    • Allow interface, use and management of SaaS (public Cloud and on premise application information
  • Not a simple move, changing things for the cloud (Good, it won’t work as it is built now)

Hit the discussion stage.  Will include the thoughts in a real post later.  Done for the day, though I have some notes from others to present.
