In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue.

Are cloud computing and grid computing one and the same? "There are many similarities and one key difference separating these burgeoning fields," notes Songnian Zhou is Co-Founder & CEO of Platform Computing, part of a star-studded lineup of speakers next week at SYS-CON's 1st International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo.
"Both cloud and grid propose an architecture that masks the complexity of managing thousands of commodity servers from their users," Zhou continues. "Consequently, those managing a grid or cloud require specialized management tools designed for large scale implementation - making it possible to manage a large number of servers without requiring an army of administrators."
He will be giving a session entitled "The Intersection of Cloud and Grid Computing" exploring these similarities and differences and discuss the future of cloud and grid computing.
Between them, Zhou and the other distinguished speaker at 1st International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo will be covering every aspect of the hottest IT topic for years, with not just Amazon but also IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, HP and a host of others all offering, using or developing high-end computing services typically described as “cloud computing” - through which massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies.
Forrester Research analyst James Staten calls cloud computing "classic disruptive innovation - where the mainstream dismisses the product and small companies have time to create a real differentiated value." But there are so many offerings just now that what infrastructure architects are looking for above all is a set of organizing principles they can use to guide them in choosing between them all.
Such principles. and a host of associated topics, will be addressed in San Jose by a Top Speaker Faculty that includes:
Dr Werner Vogels - VP & CTO, Amazon.com (Keynote)
Mike Feinberg - Senior Vice President, Cloud Infrastructure Group, EMC
Steve Herrod - CTO, VMware
David Bernstein - VP & GM of Network Applications Infrastructure, Cisco
