Enterprise Cloud Summit

Cloud Computing Conference Chair Alistair Croll Defines Cloud Computing (Interop Las Vegas 2010):

In just a few years, cloud computing has gone from a fringe idea for startups to a mainstream tool in every IT toolbox. The Enterprise Cloud Summit will show you how to move from theory to implementation.

At Enterprise Cloud Summit we'll cover practical cloud computing designs, as well as the standards, infrastructure decisions, and economics you need to understand as you transform your organization's IT.

Enterprise Cloud Summit – Public Clouds
Tuesday, October 19th, 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 leveling the IT playing field. Public cloud providers offer pay-as-you-go economics and tremendous flexibility; but they also create new security, portability, and performance concerns. Once the exclusive domain of web startups, today enterprises big and small are finding ways to incorporate public cloud platforms into their IT strategy. Whether you're deciding how to embrace them or want to learn from what others are doing, the Enterprise Cloud Summit Conference is the place to do it.

Topic Overview:

  • State of the Public Clouds
  • The Personal Cloud — How Personal Computing Will Be Transformed
  • Cloud Economics
  • Cloud and DevOps
  • Cloud Performance and SLAs
  • Ideas in Public Places: Intellectual Property and the Cloud
  • End User Stories: Start Ups and Enterprises
  • Marrying Public and Private Clouds
  • The Roadmap for Public Clouds
  • The Year Ahead: Public Clouds Go Mainstream
