Enterprise Cloud Summit - Public Clouds
Location: Room 1E07
Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 9:00 AM-4:30 PM
On Day Two of Enterprise Cloud Summit, we'll turn our eye outward to look at the many public cloud offerings that are levelling the IT playing field.

Whether you're deciding how to embrace them or want to learn from what others are doing, Enterprise Cloud Summit is the place to do it.
