Interop - Las Vegas
Panel: Lots to Love, Less to Use: How Enterprises Can Embrace the Cloud
John Janakiraman, Chief Technology Officer
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 10:15 a.m. PT
Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV

While on-demand promises pay-as-you-go economics, built-in
reliability, and a reduction in operational costs, the reality is that
while there's a lot to love about clouds, using them means rewriting many
legacy applications. And many companies are unlikely to take that step.
So how can enterprises embrace cloud platforms for the mission-critical
apps they rely on? Janakiram and other panel participants will discuss
how to embrace the cloud without rewriting the business.
