Ivan Casanova: Cloud Computing for the Corporate DataCenter

Cloud Computing Conference - Cloud Slam 2009.
Abstract. Cloud computing shifts the way data centers provide software applications to users. Cloud-based software services are evolving, making the mission-critical applications that drive business available anywhere at the lowest possible cost.

Trying to get corporate datacenter infrastructure working effectively within a Cloud Computing model can be a difficult task. All the new tools and people required to administer this innovation can cause serious cost-inefficiency and unnecessary complexity, cancelling out the benefits of shifting services to least cost infrastructure in a network cloud.

This presentation will examine the impact and adoption of Cloud Computing for the Corporate Data Center, specifically how cloud computing and the lessons learned from Web companies like Google, Amazon and Yahoo will impact Global 2000 organizations.

Also the presentation will focus on:

- Effective management of service delivery across your network cloud
- Cost reductions through services sourced from least cost providers
- Guaranteed service performance and scalability
