Conference: Cloud Computing Track

If clouds aren't part of your computing strategy, you may be missing the most significant shift in IT since the advent of client-server computing. Clouds combine virtualization, commodity-based computing, automation, and always-on computing. The result is fast, flexible computing platforms that can tackle previously intractable business challenges. On the other hand, clouds pose new risks. CIOs have to contend with IT sprawl, rogue applications, compliance issues, and unpredictable cost models. The Cloud Computing track tackles these issues head-on, bringing together vendors, analysts, and end users for a series of workshops, presentations, and engaging panel discussions.
