The Cloud Academy - CA Technologies

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 discuss specific aspects of cloud computing.
