Initial considerations
Ideato provide self updating information
documents, contacts, urls, bookmarks
Solutionan internet service which always returns the address where you can find the latest version of a given info.API (WSDL) available to create new applications
ArchitectureNeed to avoid “success disaster”-“slashdotting” and other great news

Why we moved to the cloud
CostCapex eliminationNo doubts about overspending / under-provisioningPay as you growth model
TimeNo HW to choose, order, install, configure and mantain!Few minutes to get a new server up and runningAlways run the same app on the same HW
Focus on core businessUse shared solutions (firewall, monitoring…) Reduce the time to market

Our Cloud
Infrastructure as a service: Amazon CloudEC2 Apache2, Tomcat, Axis2/Rampart, Terracotta, MemCached, MySQL
S3 DB backups and other configurations data
EBS DB hot data
Managing the Cloud: RightScaleUseful list of server templates & scriptsMulti deployment (I love it)Monitoring & AlertsAuto ScaleOur “single point of configuration”

Thinking big, starting small
-4 EC2 small Instances- 2 apache (LB), 2 tomcat+axis2, 2 terracotta- 4 memcached- 1 MySQL Master,1 MySQL Slave… and we can scale up and down as needed
