  1. P2P & Cloud Conference: Keynote March 9, 2010 Michael Papish – Keynote

  2. Agenda • Who is MediaUnbound? • What is hybrid-cloud computing? • How does MediaUnbound use hybrid-cloud computing? • How can you mine P2P data to drive technology? • Coming Soon…

  3. Introduction • Based in Cambridge, MA—the real center of the digital media world • Regional offices for content analysis in Germany and Japan • Founded in January 2000 • Creates media personalization/ recommendation technology

  4. Representative Clients

  5. Corporate Info • 9+ year track record in learning about media personalization and providing production-grade technology to customers • Strong team and technology advisors • Pattie Maes (MIT Media Lab), Robert Berwick (MIT AI Lab), Jonathan Zittrain (Harvard Law School) • Privately held—profitable since 2003 • Company offers solutions to digital media providers not individual consumers • International focus—provide services for North America, Europe, South America, and Asia

  6. Implementations: eMusic powered by

  7. Hybrid-Cloud Computing Q: What is hybrid-cloud computing? A: Hybrid-cloud computing is a fancy name for the practice of hosting parts of your service in multiple locations

  8. Use of hybrid cloud We utilize hybrid public-private cloud • We host critical components and data in private datacenter • But, we host in the “public” cloud (e.g. EC2) for: • Spikes in demand. Very useful when clients can drive unanticipated demand • Devel and staging environments. Public cloud is ideal for providing pre-production services to clients, since these environments can be created on-demand and completely walled-off from sensitive private cloud operations • Large data runs. Access to an elastic, public cloud allows MUI to instantiate a large number of compute nodes for one-off, large-scale computation runs (e.g. 100s of nodes). This is much cheaper than acquiring private cloud capacity for one-off computations.

  10. Reasons to adopt hybrid cloud Need to evaluate following, before choosing hybrid architecture: • Ability to predict demand and usage • Security needs. When hosting multiple global 500 clients, a private cloud approach can provide increased comfort levels around data security • Utilization. Elastic public cloud resources can be ideal for one-off usage, since it will be cheaper than acquiring a large amount of private capacity which might sit idle.

  11. How to mine P2P data Raw P2P traffic contains valuable information • Large amount of easily accessible, public data • In aggregate, reveals trends • At the individual peer level, can find usage patterns on specific content and user types

  12. MUI’s P2P datawarehouse In our datawarehouse, we have: • 250M+ snapshots of individual shared collections • Spanning 10 years—since 2000 and multiple networks (original Napster, soulseek/slsk, gnutella, etc.) • Quality of data changes over period • Early collections are more representative of individual tastes; users had yet to realize how to turn off sharing • Later collections are pared down, more focused on current content; more superusers

  13. Coming Soon... Coming soon… • Exciting announcement • Strong push into video (movies, TV, etc.) • Focus on non-PC devices • Integrating local content with cloud content via intelligent recommendations and organization tools
