IDC has the pleasure of inviting you to the IDC Cloud Computing Roadshow which will take place on 15 September 2011, at 09:30AM at the Royal Olympic Hotel.

Description

CLOUD COMPUTING is reshaping the IT marketplace, creating new opportunities and catalyzing changes in traditional IT offerings. While currently undergoing a transition from early adoption status to early mainstream adoption, the cloud model is bound to eventually become recognized by the market as a fundamental part of IT service delivery — simply the way IT is done and not as a special model.

IDC's Cloud Computing Roadshow 2011 will share the latest perspectives on cloud computing and will address new "cloud-enabled" IT models that leverage software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, infastructure as-a-sevice, "mash-up" application models, next-generation on-premise systems, and very large, global solution marketplaces. These are models that "democratize" IT access, and ultimately allow organizations to out-innovate and out-execute their competitors, not based on the size of their IT budgets or skills, but on the power of their ideas and the ability to execute on them quickly.

Key Topics

Some of the main topics discussed at the IDC Cloud Computing Roadshow 2011 will include:
Cloud computing: the benefits and perils
Measuring ROI: cloud computing, efficiency, and sustainability
SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS
Private, public, and hybrid clouds
Managed datacenter services and the adoption of private cloud technologies
Security in the cloud
