In one of the most difficult economic situations in 50 years, IT departments around the world are re-evaluating their platform strategies and looking for innovative ways to create competitive advantages.

Cloud computing is reshaping the IT marketplace and is becoming the next industry buzz word. It is a way to dynamically combine and scale server, storage, networking and other resources outside of a company's own traditional data centre for such purposes as remote data storage or running Software-as-a-Service. The Cloud is changing not just the technology landscape but also the entire nature of the business models that underpin successful 21st century companies.  This disruptive technology, with massive growth forecasts expected in the short term around the world, has a great deal to offer: achieving higher scale at lower costs or eliminating data centre capital in favour of a "pay-as-you-go" model are some of those great entrepreneurial opportunities that can be seized.

Increasing capacities while expanding computing capabilities without heavy investment in infrastructure, training or software licensing is no longer an utopia...This two day event will be the perfect place to be for anyone looking to implement massively scalable Enterprise IT as a service using Internet technologies.
