Cloud Computing World Forum This Week
June 11, 2012
The Cloud Computing World Forum 2012 kicks off tomorrow at Earls Court, London and there’s still time to book your place for the event, which is free for IT professionals. The event is to include 150 seminars across eight theatres and runs from June 12-13th and is Europe’s biggest cloud event.
The event will include the opportunity for IT professionals to connect with business partners and peers through the event’s one-of-a-kind networking program, as well as hear talks from industry leaders. As well as 100 global exhibitors, there will also be the chance to see case studies which are relevant to all business types and discover the latest, most innovative IT products…
Leading speakers at the event include Amazon’s Werner Voguls, Microsoft’s Bill Hilf, and Dell’s VP for Cloud, Ricky Santos, as well as a number of representatives from government, commercial organisations and city councils, amongst others.
Now in its third year, the event pays tribute to some of the cloud computing industry leaders and it’s expected that this year’s event will see even more sophisticated and innovative products on display than last. Conferences are expected to focus on a number of subjects, including security and cloud maintenance and improvement.
Whilst security has been one of the biggest worries surrounding the deployment and take-up of cloud services, the Cloud Computing World Forum will look at how cloud providers are now leading the way in combatting cybercrime. A series of seminar sessions will be held to further debate the issue including: Strategy Theatre, which debates business reasons for cloud and two ‘vision theatres’, which will discuss compliance and "information security for tomorrow’s technologies”.
Further topics include mobile and applications, virtualization, CMS, storage and big data, Platform-as-a-Service, social and communications.
Entry is free for the expo and many of the seminars and both Gold and Diamond one and two day passes can be purchased for access to extra seminars, private lounge and Wi-Fi, as well as an executive delegate bag. Places for the event can be reserved on the Cloud Computing World Forum website.
