Depending upon who you talk to, cloud computing is either the most compelling IT shift in a decade, or fraught with danger. At the Cloud Academy we believe that Cloud Computing can fundamentally transform both the economics and agility of IT, but that it also introduces unique risks and challenges that need to be understood and managed. This is where the Cloud Academy can help.
The Cloud Academy invites you to a series of free, interactive educational sessions that it is organizing around the world to discuss a number of aspects of cloud computing.
The Cloud Academy Sessions
Cloud computing will have a profound effect on the IT organization. As companies increasingly build private clouds and leverage public cloud offerings IT’s role will need to evolve.
Key enablers for cloud computing are virtualization and automation. Learn and discuss whether private, public or hybrid cloud strategy is right for you, and how to prepare today for your long-term cloud strategy.
To move any mission critical or customer-facing application to the cloud, ensuring performance and availability is paramount. Discuss and learn to what degree this is already possible today.
Beyond a doubt today’s most prevalent concern around cloud computing is security. Learn how to secure virtualized assets, manage users and identities in the cloud, and see what challenges still need to be addressed.
In addition a number of special topics are planned. These include “Mainframe goes Cloud”, “Service Management and Cloud Computing”, and Cloud Computing meets Green IT.
