SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schooner Information Technology:

WHO:	Dr. John Busch, co-founder and chief executive officer of Schooner Information Technology, Inc., a provider of data access appliances for information-intensive Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters. Prior to Schooner, Dr. Busch was research director of computer system architecture and analysis at Sun Microsystems laboratories from 1999 through 2006. He led research explorations in chip multiprocessing, advanced multi-tier clustered systems for deployment of Internet-based services and advanced high performance computing systems. Dr. Busch received the top President’s Award for Innovation at Sun, and oversaw many division technology transfers.
WHAT:	Dr. Busch will discuss the growing challenges of today's Web and cloud computing datacenters that have reached a critical juncture as exploding demand for their services has collided with existing architectures and technologies.

WHEN:	Wednesday, June 24, 2009
	10:45 a.m. PDT
WHERE:	2009 O’Reilly Velocity Conference
	June 22 – 24, 2009
	The Fairmont Hotel
	Regency Ballroom
	San Jose, Calif.
WHY:	Today's datacenters are reeling from the high costs of power, capital equipment, network connectivity and space, and are hindered by serious performance, scalability and application complexity issues. Technology advances such as multi-core processors, flash memory, and low-latency interconnects, lose their potential as Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters are challenged to fully optimize these new component technologies. Web 2.0 and cloud computing enterprises must focus all resources on their core business of providing leading-edge application services. Dr. John Busch will provide insight into why higher level building blocks are needed that can effectively exploit these advanced technologies, and how companies will be able to better solve the problems of power, performance, network connectivity, space and complexity.

Dr. John Busch will be available during the 2009 O’Reilly Velocity Conference for press interviews. To schedule a briefing or a teleconference before or after the event, please contact [e-mail], or visit Schooner’s booth, #10, at the show.
