Cloud Computing - Everything as a Service Abstract from physical implementation details and location of resources Regardless of geographic or organizational separation of provider and consumer “In the cloud” Web based Virtualized On-demand Self-service Scalable Pay as you go Infrastructure as a Service Platform as a Service Software as a Service Data as a Service

Enterprise Clouds – the eCloud Vision All resources of an adaptive, cloud-enabled IT environment can be set up, monitored, and maintained from a single, unified, and intuitive management console:  Internal and external IT resources accessible across stack without vendor lock-in  High degree of automation and IT provisioning at click of button on the level of enterprise landscapes  Internal portal of private/public IT services with e.g. pay-as-you-go cost models

eCloudManager in a Nutshell Enterprise Storage Semantic Integration Unified API Access to heterogeneous resources Unified monitoring of resources Extendable provider architecture Automation Automated, on- demand provisioning Policy engine for error-tracking Availability monitoring Orchestration workflows Security User management Role concept Utilization monitoring Error- and Failure detection and handling Audit Log and Jobs Self-Service Portal Multi-user architecture One-click provisioning Utilization and (Service-) Availability monitoring Metering and billing Analytics Historical data management Search and exploration Collaborative documentation Dashboards and reporting Service Definition Template Library Zone definition SLA definition Resource reservation and management Network Virtual Compute Physical Compute Enterprise Application Landscapes

Linked Data and Semantic Technologies Linked Data Set of standards, principles for publishing, sharing and interrelating structured knowledge From data silos to a Web of Data RDF as graph based data model Ontologies to describe the semantics Benefits of Linked Data Data Integration: Semantically integrate and interlink data scattered among different information systems Simplified publishing and sharing of data: Increase openness and accessibility of Enterprise Data Enrichment and contextualization through interlinking: Value add by linking to Linked Open Data Improved user experience: Leverage semantic technologies for better search and presentation, address more expressive information needs
