1. Cloud Choice, Your Voice:
Nothing defines IT at the Speed of Business like the cloud, and at CA World 2011, you'll discover how the latest innovations in cloud technology have the power to transform your organization by increasing your organization's agility, efficiency, elasticity, and cost effectiveness. Our goal at the conference is to show you the impact that cloud computing and our solutions can have on your organization, as well as provide you with expert knowledge on how to best navigate and leverage the distinct choices made available by the cloud.
2. Witness the Next Evolution of Cloud:
The benefits of cloud extend beyond agility and cost reduction. Organizations that adopt cloud can now leverage a cloud ecosystem to collaborate, compose, buy, sell, and deploy cloud services. The Cloud Commons ecosystem is a central hub of this evolution. Attend the Cloud Commons ecosystem sessions and check out the ecosystem pavilion on the Exhibition Center floor to learn best practice approaches for adopting cloud, speed the development of software projects, and simplify the process of buying, selling, and hosting cloud solutions.
One attendee at each of the following sessions will win a $1,000 DonorsChoose.org gift card!
- Buying & Selling Cloud Solutions with Cloud Commons Marketplace
- Extracting Value from a Cloud Ecosystem
- Creating Appliances with Cloud Commons Developer Studio
- Best Kept Secrets of Cloud Service Providers
3. Virtualization to Private Cloud:
Thought about moving to the cloud, but still not sure of the right approach? In their book, Visible Ops Private Cloud, Andi Mann, Kurt Milne and Jeanne Morain detail the four practical steps to get your organization from virtualization to a private cloud. Attend their session where they'll be detailing successful approaches undertaken by over 30 top-performing IT leaders. Don't miss the book signing after the event!
4. Mobile Cloud:
Tweet from your seat as you learn about the latest advances in mobile cloud and how to leverage new mobile technology in your organization. IT is often reactionary when it comes to making use of the latest trends, which is why employees will sometimes "go rogue" and find ways to use new tools that aren't being utilized by the organization. In our sessions on mobile cloud, you'll learn how IT can securely harness the power of mobile cloud to innovate and stay ahead of the curve.
5. Your Peers Talk Cloud:
At CA World 2011, you'll hear from many of your peers-enterprises and service providers alike-who are operating in a cloud environment and are eager to share their experience with you. Their expertise will help you avoid pitfalls and build off of the success that they encountered in the cloud. All aspects of the cloud will be addressed by presenters from the following organizations: UCLA, Qualcomm, CenturyLink, Wipro, ViaWest, Belgacom, PureSCM, CloudITeration, ScaleMatrix, CorePlus, DNS Europe, ScaleUp, MyCroft Inc, IT Process Institute, Deloitte, Infosys, PwC and Logicalis.
