Cloud Expo New York: The Distributed and Decentralized Cloud

While many companies are leveraging Cloud Computing to limit their infrastructure and footprint, the reality is cloud computing is driving a massive data center build out. In fact, this data center expansion is growing at an unprecedented scale and is not sustainable based on the parallel growth in data and storage requirements. This is ironic given the spirit of the Internet is decentralized, distributed architecture, where global bandwidth, processing power, content and infrastructure are accessible via the largest peer-to-peer network in history.
In their session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Margaret Dawson, Vice President of Marketing for Symform, and Praerit Garg, President and Co-founder of Symform, will challenge the audience to think about their own infrastructure and cloud strategy with a distributed filter. They will review distributed cloud models you can leverage today, as well as discuss the inherent benefits and challenges of a decentralized approach. This is a vendor-agnostic session with no product pitch.
