CEO Power Panel: Enterprise-Level Cloud Computing at Cloud Expo New York

Panelists to discuss enterprise-level cloud computing: far-off dream or present reality?
By: Cloud Expo
 
May 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. But if it is already a commercial reality, why did Richard Stallman call it "worse than stupidity"?

This fast-moving CEO Power Panel at the 8th International Cloud Expo, moderated by Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan, will explore such questions as:

   * What the main business value of the Cloud?
   * What, if any, are the new economic models enabled by Cloud Computing?
   * How can a service operator best decide whether to move to the cloud or stay in a private data center?
   * Seen from the C-suite, what changes should be made to the design of future applications software, infrastructure software, and hardware to match the needs and opportunities of Cloud Computing?
