Cloud Computing: GoGrid CEO John Keagy to Present at Cloud Expo 2011 New York

Jan. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- There are three major reasons why public clouds offer order-of-magnitude improvements in economics: pay-only-for-what-you-need, automation, and commodity hardware. No new generation of computing has ever delivered order of magnitude improvements like public clouds. It is a bit surprising that only now are many hosting and technology companies starting to dramatically shift their business models to embrace the cloud. In fact, many of these leaders have only begun the process of discovery and research.

In his session at the 8th International Cloud Expo, John Keagy, CEO and Co-Founder of GoGrid, will discuss:

1.   Why the cloud should be a critical component of their IT strategy
2.   How to identify inefficiencies within the current IT infrastructure
3.   How cloud computing will impact the world-wide IT economy by actually shrinking it
