– Joanna Styczen, Technical Writing Director, iMiller Public Relations, says: Cloud Ecosystem
By 2018, Cisco predicts that more than 78 percent of workloads will be processed by cloud data centers. A recent Cloud Computing Study conducted by IDG also found that 69 percent of enterprises have either applications or infrastructure running in the cloud. Gartner has even named cloud computing the first of its top 10 strategic technology trends for 2015. The cloud has caused profound transformation within the industry, and this disruptive trend will continue to have an immense impact on strategic technical decisions, not just in corporate IT departments, but also across every supporting industry player in the world.
As IT leaders work to leverage the latest technologies in a way that meaningfully impacts their organization’s bottom line, they must confront pressing questions: What is the impact of cloud on the business cycle? What are some of the major cloud initiatives the industry is undertaking in 2015?
Digital Realty and thought leaders from across the cloud ecosystem will answer these questions and provide key insights into the delivery and adoption of cloud computing across various hybrid environments as they converge at The Cloud Ecosystem LIVE! roundtable during International Telecoms Week (ITW) 2015 in Chicago. Participants will also discuss how cloud computing is changing the face of the business cycle, including how it is driving business decisions and new revenue opportunities. The Cloud Ecosystem LIVE! will feature experts from numerous areas of the industry, from service providers to enterprises, including Nick Voth, Director, System Integrators and Strategic Outsourcers, VMware, vCloud Air/vCGS and Chris McReynolds, VP of Core Network Services, Level 3 Communications, as well as other members of the cloud community. The discussion will be led by moderator John Sarkis, GM, Colocation and Connectivity, Digital Realty. The discussion will take place Tuesday, May 12 in the Swissôtel, Alpine 2 from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Attendees will enjoy cocktails and light appetizers along with a great discussion.
