Ryan is among the industry leaders appearing as part of a day-long series of
debates, panels and presentations on the cloud.  He is on a panel featuring a
variety of cloud computing professionals examining the wide variety of cloud
models and where each works best. Ryan will discuss how the adoption of
cloud-acceleration technologies can efficiently solve real-world problems of
performance, consistency and security and how high-speed delivery of
Internet-based applications can effectively remove the barriers to adoption of
Internet computing. 

"There is so much information - and sometimes misinformation - throughout the
industry about what cloud computing is and isn't.  Many companies that could
be benefiting from the cloud are simply too overwhelmed to implement an
appropriate cloud strategy in their business," said Ryan.  "I'm looking
forward to sharing insights into how the Internet affects cloud application
performance and how utilizing the right cloud acceleration technologies can
significantly improve throughput while maintaining the security, reliability
and consistency that commercial-grade applications require."

Enterprise Cloud Summit at Interop New York brings together business
technology professionals from SMB and large enterprises, industry leaders and
analysts for a packed program of panels, insightful speakers and candid
interviews with the people shaping the cloud computing industry.  Focused on
business results, the Summit reveals the risks, rewards, tools and best
practices that let companies harness the power of cloud computing while
ignoring the hype.  More information about Interop New York is available at
