rPath, newScale and Eucalyptus to Define the Path to IT Agility

June 17, 2010 - PRLog -- RALEIGH, N.C. — June 15, 2010 — Enterprise IT is under pressure to transform from bottleneck to business enabler. The rise of public cloud services such as Amazon EC2 have provided a clear example of what enterprise IT is expected to become: a simple, self-service on-demand infrastructure provider. IT organizations that fail to make this transformation will watch in vain as rogue workloads follow the path of least resistance to the public cloud.

In an upcoming webinar co-sponsored by rPath, an innovator in automating system deployment and maintenance, industry experts will discuss how enterprise IT organizations can become simple, on-demand providers of IT services by combining a catalog of standard offerings available through self-service with automation and private cloud infrastructure to achieve true IT agility. Other webinar co-sponsors include newScale and Eucalyptus Systems.

What:   “Focus on IT Agility: Self-Service, Automation and Elasticity for your Hybrid Cloud” webinar

Who:   Rodrigo Flores, founder and CTO, newScale; Rich Wolski, founder and CTO, Eucalyptus Systems; Erik Troan, founder and CTO, rPath
