Upcoming Cloud Computing Events Winter 2010
Posted by Margaret Dawson on October 27, 2010
In November 2010, there are two top industry events on cloud computing not to miss. First, the 7th Annual Cloud Computing Expo from Nov 1 – 4, 2010, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Calif. If you have any questions about what the cloud is or isn’t, how to leverage cloud-based solutions, and how to break through the hype and hyperbole, this is the show for you. Also, a large expo where you can see vendors from across the tech spectrum. I will be speaking with our Chief Software Architect on our favorite subject: Which “aaS” is right for you!!
Later that month is the 2nd annual Cloud Security Alliance Congress held the week of Nov. 17, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. Disneyworld and cloud security – how can you beat that combination? This fast-growing, influential organization is bringing together vendors and end-users from across industries to discuss the latest standards, certifications, advances and issues surrounding cloud security and compliance.
Cloud Computing Expo: Which “aaS” is Right for You?
When: Monday, November 1 from 5:30 – 6:15 p.m. PT
Speakers: Max Coburn & Margaret Dawson
About: Despite all the hype surrounding the cloud, key decision makers still struggle to find answers to simple questions like: “What is the cloud?” “How do I use it and when?” “What should I consider when evaluating cloud solutions, and how do I evaluate cloud vendors?” Plus, the cloud market is punctuated with an alphabet soup of acronyms, such as SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, DaaS and BaaS, with more aaSes introduced every day. This session goes beyond the hype, cloud fluff and acronyms to give real world examples and practical advice on when, how and why to move to the cloud.
