The Business of the Cloud
Presented by Ryan CrawCour and Chris Auld
Sessions held on 1, 2, 3 May 2010 in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch
Session outline:
Everyone is talking about “The Cloud” – but what does it actually mean? Join Chris Auld and Ryan CrawCour from the Innovation, Strategy and Solutions team at Intergen for a one-hour session on the business aspects of cloud computing.
What's the difference between a Cloud Application and a Cloud Platform? What are the benefits of deploying applications into the cloud? What are the disadvantages and where can you really get yourself into trouble? We'll survey and discuss cloud computing platforms from vendors such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, SalesForce and Rackspace.
This session is focussed on business decision makers – you will leave with the tools you need to help guide the uptake of Cloud Computing within your organisation.
