Hosted Solutions' Rob Carter to Discuss Hidden Savings in Corporate IT Budgets
Through Use of Virtualization, Cloud Computing, More

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Hosted Solutions
(www.hostedsolutions.com), the East Coast's premier provider of IT
infrastructure as a service (IaaS), today announced that Rob Carter, the
company's director of operations, will be the keynote speaker at next week's
Innovation in RTP event, to be held at the Research Triangle Park's
headquarters.

Carter will speak on uncovering hidden savings in corporate IT budgets. He
will address increasingly popular topics such as network virtualization, cloud
computing, applications management and more.

In his role as operations director, Rob is responsible for overseeing the
company's central operations organization and all of Hosted Solutions' managed
services throughout the East Coast. Before joining Hosted Solutions, Rob
served as the Director of Quality Assurance for Motricity, where he increased
productivity and built a 24x7x365 Network Operations Center that was able to
scale as the business grew from $35 million in revenues to more than $100
million over a two-year period. Prior to that, he was with SunGard
Availability Services.

Innovation in RTP is a series of monthly talks by various companies and
organizations based in and around The Research Triangle Park. The goals are to
build awareness of companies in and near the Research Triangle Park, and of
their local and global impact, as well as to strengthen the community of
professionals in the Park, with the hope of increasing innovation and new
business opportunities.

"Experts like Rob are able to clearly communicate the value of what makes
sense in the current business climate," said Lee Clark-Sellers, founder of the
RTP speakers series. "Reduced costs have become a clear corporate imperative,
but not at the cost of losing operational efficiency. Rob's experience will
help companies identify those areas where they can utilize advanced
technologies to lower both their capital expenditures and operational
expenditures while still maintaining a superior level of performance."

Carter's speech is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, October 14, at 4 p.m.
The speech will be held at RTP headquarters, at 12 Davis Drive in Research
Triangle Park. Reservations may be made by sending an email to
innovationseries@rtp.org.
