Description

Enterprises large and small are drawn by the advantages of cloud computing – pay-for-use, self-service, elastic scalability and the elimination of hardware management – resulting in very low barriers to entry and exit and high agility. Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet and a weak economy, have accelerated interest in cloud computing. This workshop will use presentations, demonstrations and case studies to explore technology, research, implementation experiences from various industries, the legal aspects of privacy and compliance, security and management concerns, and new business models.
