Webinar Taps Industry Leaders, Attendees to Define Next-Generation Datacenter
RALEIGH, NC - September 21, 2009 - Cloud computing may have transformational potential, but its emergence has created an urgent and pressing question in the minds of today's IT leaders: How do they incorporate cloud computing into existing datacenter operations? After all, cloud computing holds tremendous promise for enterprise IT, but it is not a silver-bullet solution. Today's IT leaders are trying to determine the right blend of internal, external, physical and virtual as the blended "fabric" of their next-generation datacenter.
In an upcoming webinar sponsored by rPath, an innovator in automating application deployment and maintenance, industry thought leaders will sound off on the requirements and considerations for the next-generation datacenter. In addition to prepared materials, the moderated panel discussion will include questions submitted by attendees during the live event and via Twitter using #datacenter.next.
What: "Datacenter.Next: An Online Panel Discussion on the Convergence of Physical, Virtual and Cloud" webinar
Who: Michael Crandell, CEO, Rightscale; Erik Troan, founder and CTO, rPath; Dr. Rich Wolski, CTO, Eucalyptus Systems; Matt Zimmerman, CTO, Canonical; and David Berlind, chief content officer, TechWeb and editor-in-chief, TechWeb.com
When: Thursday, September 24, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (11:00 a.m. Pacific time)
Attendees will learn about:
- Incremental adoption strategies and reorienting to the "blended fabric"
- Understanding the benefits and tradeoffs of physical/virtual, public/private, internal/external
- Security, compliance, privacy and governance risks
- Organizing for change: Roles, rewards and overcoming cultural resistance
- Dealing with escalating management costs, lock in and other unintended consequences
- Case studies and anecdotes on early adopters and emerging best practices
