FYI - the Networking Research Group has extended to us an invitation to the below talk on Google's efforts surrounding cloud networking. It starts at 9:40 this coming Thursday morning in Hariri. I've been told there will be swag.

Jeff is also here to recruit for Google's cloud group and has times available to talk on Thursday. For those interested, please contact John Byers (by...@cs.bu.edu) with your availability.

Title: Two Stories about Cloud Networking at Google

Presenter: Jeff Mogul

Abstract: Cloud computing offers the promise not only of lower costs for computing and storage, but also an easier operational model, much higher reliability, and features that are not feasible to provide at smaller scales.  In the first half of the talk, I will describe how Google is building a Cloud infrastructure to support performance, availability, and novel features, with a particular emphasis on network technology.  In the second half, I will present a speculative project that (with Ramana Kompella) we are just starting, to measure how varying the network latency provided within a Cloud data center affects the performance of Cloud applications.
