How to pick a cloud computing strategy - that's the billion-dollar question for Enterprise IT right now. And to answer it senior IT managers and infrastructure engineers alike are meeting next week at Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009 (www.cloudexpo-europe.com) in downtown Prague, capital of the Czech Republic.
Before turning over their company jewels to a Cloud-based solution, IT managers and engineers alike want to make technology choices based on knowing everything there is to know about the availability and security of their data, and they want to have their questions answered about connectivity, interoperabilty, and vendor lock-in. That is why so many IT industry stakeholders are going to Prague on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
The event is co-located with Virtualization Conference 2009 Europe, at the Prague-Hilton Hotel in the city center.
