Description: ON-DEMAND WEBCAST

Cloud is not the latest marketing buzzword, but rather a serious and emerging datacenter architectural framework. Don’t let the excess hype and vendor misrepresentations fool you or distract you from how you can practically leverage the cloud today. This session identifies the technology and business process frameworks necessary for building an internal cloud infrastructure, while laying a foundation to leverage external cloud resources. A properly designed cloud infrastructure offers too many financial, technical and business process benefits to ignore.

This session cuts through the cloud hype and offers guidance on how you should be thinking about the cloud today, and what you should be doing right now. Even if you are not ready to leverage external cloud resources today, internal architecture and product decisions will directly impact your organization’s ability to connect to external cloud resources in coming years.

Session viewers will see:
  • Strategies for overcoming the technical and political barriers that stall internal cloud adoption.
  • Blueprints for architecting an internal cloud.
  • Reality check on what is and is not possible with today’s management tools.
  • Guidance on ensuring security and regulatory compliance with both internal and external cloud infrastructures.
