Why is cloud computing relevant today from an economic, business and technology standpoint? What are some potential benefits – and pitfalls – of moving to the cloud? What should you look for in a cloud computing provider to ensure the security of your data and applications? And above all how can you manage the cloud so you – and your data – sleep safe and secure?

In an October 8 Live Webcast and Interview from Times Square, Sam Gross, vice president, Global Information Technology Outsourcing Solutions, Unisys Corporation, will answer these questions and more.

Gross will be joined in Times Square by SYS-CON.TV Host Jeremy Geelan, who is also Conference Chair of the International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series.

In their interview, Geelan will be asking Gross to share with viewers his take on how the economy is accelerating a tectonic shift in IT - and how it supports the business. He will be asking Gross about the perceived barriers to implementing cloud, and how Unisys' differentiated cloud strategy and offerings solve the key challenges of security, compliance and regulation, and application rewrites.

SYS-CON.TV viewers are invited to join Unisys's Gross, ask questions, and learn about the market and business forces that are creating the opportunity for a new cloud computing approach. "Join us and find out how to manage the cloud so you – and your data – sleep safe and secure," says Gross.
