"The 'cloud' model initially has focused on making the hardware layer consumable as on-demand compute and storage capacity," Sheynkman explains.
"This is an important first step," he continues, "but for companies to harness the power of the cloud, complete application infrastructure needs to be easily configured, deployed, dynamically-scaled and managed in these virtualized hardware environments." According to Sheynkman, Elastic Computing enhances the cloud computing model by allowing companies to efficiently and cost-effectively configure, deploy and managing clustered, highly-scalable applications in cloud computing environments.
In his November Cloud Computing Summit session, "Elastic Computing vs. Cloud Computing: What's the Difference and When Do You Use Them?" he will discuss in greater detail how these models work in concert and how to gain business value from them. Sheynkman was cofounder and CEO of two successful startups before Elastra: Stanford Technology Group acquired by Informix/IBM in 1995 and Plumtree Software acquired in 2005 by BEA.
