Lessons Learned: The impact on the future of Cloud and Standards
Today, we see innovative use of cloud computing across business. And with Cloud there is also a lot of hype. When we look at the innovative approaches to Cloud implemented by businesses today - the implementations which work well (and the ones that don't), we see patterns emerging.
Join the discussion about patterns of success. Hear tangible examples and use cases of projects that have achieved their goals. Learn how standards play a role in the successful patterns and use cases. How open standards cloud technology will enable organizations to rapidly build the skills and and evolve their organizational structure so they may establish repeatable models for success with Cloud.
To this end, Dr Diaz will provide an update on standards across the various layers of the cloud architecture (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) as well as highlight how recent deliverables from the Cloud Standards Customer Council, the first customer led consortium designed to shape the face of open standards based cloud computing may be leveraged for successful Cloud implementations.
