CAMP IT: Ahead to speak on cloud computing—October 6 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
John Cole, Ahead Technical Architect, will address
“How to Build and Integrate a Pragmatic and Effective Cloud.”
Cloud computing can offer enterprises many benefits in terms of financial savings, scale, management, and flexibility. At the same time, issues present themselves in a cloud environment—security, compliance, data location, data availability, and a host of others.
After setting your cloud strategy, how do you go about building your cloud?
In this session you will learn how to:
- plan, design, deliver, and optimize a responsible, reliable, and mission-critical cloud
- integrate with your existing architecture
- leverage current architecture resources
- determine what additional resources are needed
- leverage solutions to deliver CapEx, OpEx, margin, and competitive benefits for your business
