Abstract:

Rajkumar Chaudhry, Manager, IT Optimization Solutions for Sirius Computer Solutions, a Premier IBM Business Partner, will provide a technical overview of “Cloud Computing”. The idea that all applications will run on the shared compute farm (internal or external or mixed) rather than on your computer creates numerous questions around system design, risk management, security, availability, performance and IT service capabilities. Mr. Chaudhry will lead a discussion regarding how cloud computing is currently evolving in the enterprises and how it may impact your business, computing resources you own and use; and how upcoming enhancements in technology may change the dynamics of the Cloud Computing paradigm.

Steve O’Neill and partner Chris Tryon with IP Ideas, will share their experience designing Cloud Computing solutions for small to mid-tier clients. Solutions reduce the costs of managing and maintaining business systems, freeing up IT resources and staff to focus on initiatives that are productive and competitive.
