Monday-Tuesday, May 18-19, 2009
Cloud computing is big news, promising unlimited capacity and pay-as-you-go economics, plus connections to an always-on world. Enterprises are excited about cloud computing but little of it is ready to use yet. Clouds present security risks, and many enterprise applications have to be completely rewritten to run on scalable clouds. Licensing is complicated, and privacy’s a concern.
Enterprise Cloud Summit at Interop is the industry’s only event focused on how traditional enterprises can adopt cloud computing models. Featuring panels of thought leaders, candid conversations with industry luminaries and hands-on real-world demonstrations that showcase the promise—and risk—of on-demand computing, Cloud Summit is a no-holds-barred reality check to help CIOs and senior IT management better understand enterprise cloud computing.
Topics to be covered include:
Clouds and the Enterprise - Early cloud computing innovation has focused on public web applications, leaving enterprises with little to use beyond on-demand hardware. To understand what clouds can offer to enterprise users, we first need to look at the specific needs of enterprise applications.
The Dark Side of Clouds - Every cloud has a dark side. If you're going to make on-demand computing a cornerstone of your IT strategy, you need to know what you're getting into.
The Business Cass: RIO and Migration - What's the promise? Despite the downsides, there's little doubt that on-demand computing services are the future of both consumer and enterprise IT.
On the Horizon: The Future of On-Demand IT - As cloud computing matures, enterprises will seek not only its economic benefits and flexible capacity, but also the advantages that come from always-connected users and powerful services that extend the capabilities of their applications.
Learn how to take advantage of cloud technologies. Give your business the freedom that comes with on-demand technologies and build your competitive edge.
